From sore muscles, to job-related stress, to pregnancy nausea, yoga workouts can help alleviate a lot of ailments and conditions. Finding the right type of yoga routine to fit your individual needs, however, can be a bit of a twist. Before you buy a bunch of yoga DVDs or invest in a pricey studio membership, try some of these new or recently updated smartphone and tablet applications. They are much more affordable, and you can conveniently do these yoga practices anywhere. Namaste!
Pocket Yoga (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android $2.99)
Hit the mat just about anywhere you travel (or at home) with the Pocket Yoga app. This all-purpose app offers a picture glossary of poses as well as three different types of practices. For each practice, you can choose from beginner, intermediate and expert, as well as follow voice instructions for each pose. There is accompanying music during the practices. If the app's soundtrack is not your cup of tea, create your own "ohm" playlist -- an easy change in the settings. Once you pick your ideal practice, you select the time for your workout from 30, 45 or 60 minutes. It's also nice (especially for beginners) that you can press pause during the workouts at anytime and pick it up later with the "Workout in Progress" button.
