Product Description
Finding it hard to learn yoga by yourself or with a book? Or you already know some basic yoga but the more difficult poses are hard to do? Then try Let's Yoga. This game makes it so easy to learn yoga that you'll feel like you have your very own personal instructor. You can set your DS down next to you and let the vocal instructions tell you exactly what to do, or just read the subtitles. If you're confused by how to do something, you can always rotate the image on the screen 360 degrees to see all angles of the pose. The vocal instructions will even tell you when to inhale or exhale or you can look at the flower symbols on the screen. You can even combine your favorite poses to create just the right program for you. So start learning yoga today.
Supervised by Konami Sports Club, meaning you'll acquire proper knowledge and self-regulating methods while learning yoga and its poses

Yoga where you want, when you want September 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a big fan of Let's Yoga. With my busy schedule, having the flexibility of doing yoga wherever I am and whenever I have the time is a huge motivator.
The game itself is very easy to understand. You can pick from quick Yoga lessons (anywhere from 3 minutes). You can also do yoga lessons with the "yoga master". Although you do get introduced to new yoga poses this way, the Yoga master lessons are my least favorite part of Let's Yoga. My advice is if you have some yoga basics or are familiar with several poses within this game, you should create your own workout through "My Yoga". This allows you to customize your workout depending on your flexibility and skill level.
Overall a great game. I take it with me whenever I travel.
Great Yoga Help August 26, 2008

I was a little critical when I researched this "Let's Yoga" game for Nintendo DS. I was thinking that it might be difficult to have this platform to handle this type of program especially for someone who has practiced yoga before, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone can benefit from this great tool: beginners can learn about yoga and see detailed position descriptions and advanced yogi(ni) can have the DS create random workouts in the desired length. Great tool!

Great supplement to Wi Fit July 9, 2008

It took the Wii Fit to finally get me re interested in Yoga. I tried a few Yoga classes when I was in college but decided to concentrate my efforts into a more hard core martial arts workout. Stupid me, I could have done both and been all the better for it. Still, after being becoming somewhat more adept at the 15 Yoga poses in Wii fit, I felt I needed more and the inexpensive Let's Yoga cart did the trick.
I love Wii Fit Yoga but Let's Yoga really adds so much more to the Yoga experience. Wii Fit is a pretty good (but small) comprehensive warm up but "Let's Yoga would be like the real class. I would imagine a typical Yoga class might cost somewhere in the range of 10 to 25 dollars for one session. Just about the cost of the Let's Yoga cart. Imagine, you could do Let's Yoga for a few weeks and become familiar with a lot of the Yoga poses. And then when you are ready for an in person classroom instructor, you will not be lost with all the poses.
The Lets Yoga instructor is also pretty good about explaining how to get into the poses. The cart even allows you to stop the session and reposition the instructor to view the pose from different angles. There is even a place in the cart that explains (and shows) all the various Yoga moves on the cart and even offers options for getting into the pose. And unlike the Wii Fit you can even design your own Yoga Workout.
An absolutely terrific exercise cart. And a must have for any traveler when you can't always rely on a gym in the hotel or nearby.
Great Solution for On-Bus, Waiting Room and Other Spots June 6, 2008

If you're interested in learning more about yoga, or simply stretching and relaxing, Let's Yoga definitely is software worth owning. From chair stretches to step by step lessons, there's something for everyone here.
You get to customize your "guide" with a variety of hair styles, outfits, colors and signal shapes. There are numerous ways to then use the software.
Starting with the simple, there are a few chair poses that you can do on the bus, in your office, anywhere! They are great stretches and moves that help you stay limber.
Next there is an area of quick "problem solving" poses, broken up into body, mind and beauty. They are relatively brief 3-5 minute combinations of poses. You choose a topic - for example helping swollen feet, or easing cramps, or fighting stress. The system then provides a series of poses to help you with that issue.
You can even ask for random poses to meet a given criteria (raise flexibility) and see what happens!
One of my favorite parts is the area where you make your own combinations. You can draw from every single part of the yoga library. You can put together a stress-free relaxation set, a high intensity workout, or anything in between.
If you're new to yoga, their poses area goes step by step through each pose. You can zoom in and out on the video, back up, pause. You can get easier ways to do the pose, and tips on how to do it well. They even show which muscles are helped by the pose.
Once you're ready with the basics, there is a multi part class laid out. For each stage of the class you get a lesson and then a series of poses to practice.
There is a wealth of great information here, but there are some down sides. First, the inherent problem is the small DS screen. You're trying to do poses that involve standing, sitting, and lying down. All the while you're trying to peer at this tiny screen to see what to do. A DVD does a MUCH better job in this regard. However, for all the times you're not somewhere that you have a DVD available, this is certainly an OK option. You just need to watch it a few times so you know what she's doing, rather than having to try to hold and watch your DS while you move.
Next, the speaker goes rather rapidly through the moves. You are told to kneel, then instantly to move into plank, then instantly to move into another pose. It is hard to keep up. In most yoga progressions they are smooth and orderly. The pace is quick, and the dialogue is clipped. There is a pause button - but the chance of grabbing it easily while doing poses is slim. They could have used much better pacing on this.
There are written words which also guide you through the lessons, but sometimes they cover up what the woman is doing, so it's a mixed benefit.
The manual is impressively thorough in a world where most manuals are a four-page warning about flashing lights. That being said, they do a paragraph of English, then one of French, the one of English and so on. You have to hopscotch your way through the instructions.
Still, all being said, it's great at what it can offer. Like I said, if you are waiting in line, or hanging out at a doctor's office, or stuck on a bus or train, this can be perfect. Anywhere that there isn't a DVD available, and you had no other option, this is certainly a good fallback.
So to summarize, make sure you have some DVDs for actual working out. But as a stop-gap for other times, this game works nicely.
