Leave a Review Yoga Wake Up Morning Routine
  • Happy long time user

    This is a great way to wake each day, and one of the only apps I use every day. They add enough new content on a regular basis to keep things interesting, and my favorites are always there. I usually wake in a convoluted foggy and worried mood, but this app snaps me out of it. Yoga Wakeup makes a fantastic prelude to my morning meditation to stir my brain and body into a more lucid state. Helps make a perfect start for your day, and sometimes I listen later in the day for a tune-up. It’s also a great leaning tool to learn some Yoga basics.

    rpphoto, thank you for the awesome feedback. We just wanted to let you know that we fixed that annoying bug in the downloads section. If you upgrade to 3.2, you should now be able to tap on any of your downloaded wakeups and can play or set it as your wake up. We hope you enjoy the new version. Thank you again for your feedback!
  • They billed me even though I didn't subscribe, and they don't respond to requests for help.

    I tried the free trial for a day before realizing that this app was not quite what I was looking for. I canceled immediately, and my settings tab reflect that I'm using (or not using) the free version. I was surprised, therefore, to find a "recurring monthly charge" on my bank statement. Sure enough, Yoga Studio had billed me for a month, despite canceling duting the "free" trial. And here's the kicker: I don't even have access to subscription-only material -- only the free stuff! I've tried to contact them, and received no response. Next step, a complaint to iTunes and Mastercard.

  • I’m awake! And out of bed.

    I love this app! For years I have trouble feeling completely awake in the mornings and actually getting out of bed. Lately I have noticed increased body pain when I wake up as well. This app is really, really helping. My mood is a lot better too.

    A gentle alarm, followed by a soothing, calm voice and a gentle yoga practice. There have been a few times I’ve been a little confused, but not too badly. We will see how well I do with this now that it’s turning colder and the temperature outside of the covers isn’t as comfy. I’m pretty sure yoga under the blankets is impossible!

  • Dissapointed

    Was REALLY excited about this app. A great concept, but just doesn't work.
    Like some of the other reviews, I set the alarm, and it doesn't go off. Was then late for work. 😡
    The exact opposite of a relaxing wake up.
  • Love it!!!

    Finding good guided meditations was the only hindrance to my daily meditation practice. I’m not yet advanced enough to effortlessly meditate without guidance and so when my yoga teacher told me about this app, I downloaded it right away. I do Alex Dawson’s wind down meditation every evening and I can’t be sure that this is the reason but I’ve slept so deeply and well since I started doing this bedtime meditation. It allows you to calm down your nervous system and begin to shut down before bed. Alex has a voice of an angel and the singing bowl sounds are heavenly.

  • Fantastic, needs clearer iOS instructions

    I really love this app! Has really helped me wake up right when I need to (no more opportunities to hit snooze 8 billion times) and set an intention for the day. Why I’m not giving 5 stars, though, is that setting wake ups with iOS devices is fiddly. You can’t just set your wakeups and go, you have to open the app after your set bedtime. Not great to have to have screentime right before bed because your alarm won’t work otherwise — but maybe that’s an iOS limitation. But I think the app could be clearer about this point — I missed my first two wakeups because I didn’t know what exactly was needed to make it work. There should probably be an upfront warning about this, not just a vague notification at bedtime, and further info in Help if you decide to go looking for it.

    Hello Anne, Thank you for your awesome feedback. Yes there are limitations as to what we can do as an alarm clock app. We could probably do a better job of sharing this information with our users. We are considering a how to video to help. If you would like to discuss this and other ideas with us directly, please email us at team@yogawakeup.com and we'll respond ASAP. Thanks again for your feedback!
  • Disappointing

    I was excited about this and then disappointed really quickly. The app has some super annoying quirks. It must be left in the foreground, screen unlocked to work. THERE IS NO SEARCH FEATURE. You have to scroll through all the wake ups to find one you are interested in and there’s no way to search for what you want. I just wanted a nice stretch from bed with instrumental music and no guided meditation or affirmation stuff. Could not find it. Purchases are pricy ($6.50) and CANNOT be used by other family members through family sharing.

  • Very frustrated

    This app was fantastic (and I felt, worth the price) until two days ago when it stopped working. Two days in a row I have set the wake up the same way that I had for the week before and left the app running in the foreground and it hasn’t gone off in the morning. It’s a good thing I set backup alarms ☹️

  • Not responsive

    I love the idea of this app and initially loved everything about yoga wakeup, so much so I purchased a 1 year subscription. When my alarms quit going off in the morning I thought maybe it had something to do with my phone, but after about 5 mornings of the alarm not going off I tried deleting and re-downloading the app. When I reinstalled the app and tried to restore my purchase, nothing is showing up and I am not able to access my subscription. I’ve reached out to them twice now with absolutely no response. Very disappointed as I was greatly looking forward to growing my daily yoga and meditation journey through yoga wakeup but do not have access to the tools I paid for.

  • It works!

    I’ve been trying to do better at getting up in the morning for years, this is the only thing that’s really worked! It’s gentle and it gets you loving without even having to get out of bed, so no jumping up and snoozing the alarm or rolling back over.
