If your downward dog’s more of a deadweight slump, Apple Fitness+ yoga might just be the pick-me-up your practice needs.
The digital fitness giant is turning the Zen up to 11 with a refreshed lineup of classes designed to get you sweating, balancing, and—eventually—floating into poses that once looked like something only yogis with circus training could manage.
Launching just in time for International Day of Yoga, the latest additions to Apple Fitness+ yoga are anything but standard.
We’re talking slow flows with all-star instructors, 10-minute pose breakdowns worthy of a private lesson, and targeted balance challenges that’ll have you wobbling your way to warrior status.
Let’s start with the fan favourite: Yoga with Dice. No, not a board game warmup—but a new flow guided by Dice Iida-Klein, joined by fellow Fitness+ yoga stalwarts Jessica, Jonelle and Molly.
Shot in calming tones and paced for real humans, not contortionists, the session weaves together Warrior 2, Side Angle, and Lizard poses in a slow, grounding rhythm. It’s the perfect homage to yoga’s roots with just enough modern sweat to keep things interesting.
Want to break a sweat and a mental block? The Yoga Peak Poses Program is a deep dive into iconic shapes like Crow, Dancer, and Twisted Hand to Big Toe (yes, that’s really what it’s called).
Each peak pose is paired with a prep flow—a 10-minute warm-up followed by a focused session. Jonelle Lewis puts it best: “Getting better at a challenging peak pose is a powerful way to test yourself physically and mentally… And that process is where the magic happens!”
For the balance-challenged among us—Tree pose turning into a timber moment, anyone?—there’s the new Perfect Your Yoga Balance Poses Collection.
It’s a curated progression of moves designed to sharpen focus, centre the mind, and strengthen your stance with classics like Warrior 3, Side Plank, and yes, Crow again (because one moment of glory isn’t enough).
Trainer Jessica Skye knows balance is both art and science: “Engage your core, gaze at a fixed spot, and remember—balancing is not about being perfectly still. All the little wobbles are part of the process.”
And when it comes to technique, Molly Fox breaks down Downward-Facing Dog like she’s building Ikea furniture—but less confusing and more supportive.
From finger placement (“think 12 o’clock”) to engaging the whole hand to avoid dumping into the wrists, it’s alignment advice that could change the way your spine—and your wrists—feel about yoga.
If the physical challenge isn’t enough, Dice Iida-Klein brings it back to the mind: “When a workout gets really tough… mindfulness means you acknowledge the feeling without pushing it away, but also without getting stuck in it.” A little compassion, a lot of breathing, and suddenly that failed handstand doesn’t feel like failure at all—just another step on the journey.
Of course, no Apple experience is complete without a nod to the tech. Pair your sessions with an Apple Watch (Series 10 starts at £399; Ultra 2 at £799) and you can track everything from heart rate to how many calories you burned trying to nail Crow without faceplanting.
Apple Fitness+ yoga is available via subscription at £9.99/month or £79.99/year through the Fitness app on iPhone. Whether you’re new to yoga or just looking to elevate your practice without leaving your living room, it’s an impressively curated, deceptively challenging way to bend, stretch, and breathe your way toward something that feels a lot like progress.
Even if your version of progress still involves falling out of Tree pose every now and then.
