My Yoga Studio ($1.99), by Nickel Buddy, is an interesting looking app/game for the Kindle. I'd say it is just as useful as most yoga videos, after you have run thru them once or twice and are just using them as timers, and a lot more portable. Even better, you can customize the routine (try that with a DVD) and run thru the poses you have chosen (and that fit into the time you have to work out).App Description
My Yoga Studio is like having a personal yoga teacher on your Kindle.
There are many benefits to practicing yoga. Done properly, yoga can help you increase your strength, flexibility, and balance. It can improve your posture as you become more aware of your body, and it can help you relax, even in the midst of a stressful environment.
My Yoga Studio will guide you step-by-step through a series of poses illustrated with a picture and a text description. As you move through the routine, a timer will count down, showing you how long to hold each pose before gently transitioning to the next. 25 different poses are included. You can use one of three included routines (Sun Salutation, Stress Melter, or Balance & Peace), do poses individually, or create your own custom routine. Exercises are designed to strengthen your core, and do not require any special equipment. As you can do these exercises anywhere you have floor space, My Yoga Studio is a perfect companion for frequent travelers or home use.
My Yoga Studio is ready to be your personal guide anytime you want to steal a few moments to center yourself.
If you are not in the US, you can't get My Yoga Studio. Instead, you might want to take a look at Everyday Pilates: From the Top Down ($7.99 US), by Alycea Ungaro, which is one of several Kindle Edition with Audio/Video titles in this series (the rest of which are $5.59). Best of all, if you are a UK customer (only), you can get this one for $1.16 in the US store (£5.98 in the UK store).Book Description
