About

Sutra Yoga

Features
Read full description

Sutra is a yoga class builder and player for iPhone and Apple Watch. BUILD YOUR CLASS Lay out a class as a series of timed blocks โ€” each with its own pose list โ€” and attach an Apple Music playlist. Start from a template or a blank class. RUN IT HANDS-FREE FROM YOUR WRIST Press play on your Apple Watch and your phone does the rest: the class timer runs on your wrist while the music plays through your phone. Glance down for the current block, time remaining, what's next, and song controls. Adjust volume with the Digital Crown. The session keeps running even with your wrist down. ONE LIVE SESSION, BOTH DEVICES Start on your phone or your watch โ€” open either app and you drop straight into the live session, perfectly in sync. Minimize the player to a mini-bar and keep using your phone; the class keeps running. ARRIVAL MUSIC Set a "lobby" playlist for warm-up, controllable right from your watch. SHARE CLASSES Publish a class to your profile so friends can find and copy it. Unpublish anytime. Requires an Apple Music subscription for in-class music, and Sign in with Apple for sharing. Classes log as a Yoga workout in Apple Health.
