Add exercises included list to Yoga descriptions

The Strength Training descriptions each have an Exercises Included list. I find that helpful. Could we also have that or “Poses included” added to each Yoga description? I have a few poses I need to avoid for medical reasons. It’d be nice to know which routines include them so I can plan a substitute pose or grab blocks or equipment to help me adapt.

I agree. I need to work on my flexibility and jumping right into Thunderbolt at the beginning is a non-starter.

@jmckenzieKOS @Cheryl.Vasan When I have flexibility issues I just make variations during the workout. For example I could do inchworm, sun salutation or pigeon stretch instead of thunderbolt. I figure the workout gets me to do yoga for 15 minutes but no one is watching so I can sub in whatever works that day.

For me, balance is the issue, not flexibility. I have no inner ear/balance nerves on one side, so I rely overly on pressure on both soles of my feet and eyesight. That means I need to set up blocks or a pole for most balance poses. It’s irritating to pause to grab them. I’d prefer to avoid the clutter and reminder of my balance issues by having blocks set up if I don’t need them. That’s why I want a list like in strength. It helps me there.

@Cheryl.Vasan Ah - ok. That makes sense. I agree that a list would be great. In the meantime maybe try adding some of the yoga workouts that you know you can do to the “my list” feature in SYSTM so that you can always defer to something you know will work for you.

We now have 20 new Yoga videos and they all list the poses! So helpful, @abicarver. Thank you!

@abicarver lists all of the poses in the sessions on her Yoga15 website and app. There are many more videos available and if you like abi’s short workouts, then it is worth considering a subscription.

I find it more than pays for itself by replacing rigidly scheduled trips to judgmental physical therapists with short flexibility sessions delivered by a soothing voice at my convenience.

@Cheryl.Vasan agree. In addition to the reason you mention, it would also allow me to better understand what’s coming in advance and select ones that fit me best.
A simple list in the workout description would be a fab thing for Wahoo to include.

I’ve not done all the new yoga videos yet, but like them so far, including the slight additions/edits to the exercises.

@abicarver I’d be interested what your criteria were for updates/changes? Just curious!

That is great to hear @Malte! There are two criteria for the updates. Firstly, to replace some of the original videos with similar sequences to improve the quality. And secondly, to give you the most popular videos from the full Y15 collection.
