Best Yoga App 2019: Free Yoga Apps
If you’re looking for the best free yoga apps for 2019 then you’ve come to the right place. MatMat has produced a summary of the best yoga workout, meditation and fitness apps in one handy little summary.
MatMat does not currently work in affiliation with any of the following apps, these are true reviews from user experience, and we think that you’ll app-solutely love them (we promise that’s the only corny joke)!
Let’s get started!

Daily Yoga – Workout & Fitness: Most Popular Yoga App

Price: FREE download and variety of free resources – premium in app services
Yoga Level: Beginner to Advanced Yoga Routines
Adriene continues to be the most popular yoga instructor on the planet and here at MatMat we absolutely adore her!
The quality of her app matches the quality of her YouTube channel (click here for more on the best yoga YouTube channels) with 100+ hours of yoga videos. Airplay is also available for you to beam videos directly to your tv from Find What Feels Good.
Yoga with Adriene and Find What Feels Good makes it particularly easy to ease into yoga and move gently from beginner to advanced yoga sessions.
We had to give Adriene credit here for a beautiful interface and design on the app – it really is stunning! If dreamy turquoise colours is your thing, you might also like this .

Asana Revel offers a wide range of intense yoga workouts which really get the body working hard and the sweat will start to flow. If you’re looking for something that provides a little more heat in your yoga practice this is the one for you!
Like Find What Feels Good, Asana Revel also has a very pretty interface and design making for a user-friendly experience.
The App sets personal goals and allows you to monitor progress throughout so that you can keep a record on how you’re getting along.
On feature we did really love about Asana revel was that it also keeps you up to speed on the Yoga industry’s latest news.

Headspace - Guided Meditation: Best App for Meditation
Price: FREE download and first 10 sessions. Premium Services in App.
Yoga Level: Novice/Beginner
Headspace is not a yoga app per se, but we thought we should include it in this list. Headspace is fantastic for mind and soul connection which goes a long way in yoga practice.
The app offers guided meditation for daily checkout (or indeed as frequently as you would like).
They also offer specific guided meditation for stress, sleep or even grief/sadness. There are a whole range of fantastic meditation courses that you can run through to help you with different areas of your life.
A great feature that this app has is the ability to buddy up with friends that can go through the journey with you. I buddied up during a course and found that this was really a great way to bring you closer to someone.
Headspace tracks progress through various soul-searching journeys in a really user-friendly interface.

5 Minute Yoga - Quick Yoga Workouts: Best Yoga App for People Short on Time
Price: FREE!
Yoga Level: Beginner – Intermediate
This is the best yoga app for those of you with a very strict time schedule.
5 Minute Yoga has a wide selection of short workouts which really target the areas that you want to pay attention to.
The interface is very simple so no clunky tech that gets you stressed before you ever sit down on the yoga mat (we would love if it were ours?).
The clue is in the title and we found this ideal for those that are busy with work and don’t have time for a full yoga session.

Calm: Meditation and Sleep Stories
Price: Free to download. Premium Services in App.
Yoga Level: Novice/Beginner
Once again, in a similar way to Headspace, this is not a yoga app per se, but we thought it deserved a mention.
Calm won the Apple Award for App of the Year in 2017 and is still winning awards in 2019.
They offer guided sessions at customizable length: 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 minutes. That made it perfect to fit into any kind of schedule that you have for the day.
Well known celebrities, like Stephen Fry, Leona Lewis and Jerome Flynn, have also been recorded reading bedtime stories which we thought was a brilliant feature.
The app also has sections for helping you break habits, building relationships and building self-esteem.
