Description: Long day at work? Hard day at the office? Feeling groggy from a long gaming session? Escape to a hidden place, a place just for you, far away from the stressors of daily life. Enter into a beautiful, natural space and revitalize with the gentle, yet challenging movements of Yoga. Check in to the Namaste Virtual Yoga Retreat and learn this ancient art of fitness from a professional, experienced yoga instructor.
Review: Namaste Virtual Yoga Retreat is a weird little mash-up of media that seems to me to be a little unnecessary. You get to pick to do Yoga in a variety of quite nice looking 3D environments, but the Yoga teacher only appears as a 2D video! So you get to pick somewhere nice to do the Yoga and then you realise there is only once place the yoga mat appears, meaning the place picking its pointless. There are many other Yoga VR apps out there that are far better and offer 3D Yoga instruction, not a cheap-looking 2D video. It’s a good effort of an app, but it needs a LOT more work before I could recommend it.
