Best Yoga Apps (2026): 11 Apps Worth Downloading

Quick comparison

The best yoga app

#1

Down Dog

Best for: Home practitioners who want a fresh, custom-built practice every session and hate repeating the same video

Visit downdogapp.com

Starting price$9.99/month (All Access, website price; $59.99/year)

Free planNo — brief free trial

Down Dog is the best fit for most people because it never repeats a practice. You pick the style, level, focus, pace and length, from a few minutes to 90, and it builds a brand-new session from recorded instruction clips, so the sequence, music and cues are fresh every time.

One All Access subscription also unlocks its Pilates, HIIT, barre, meditation and running apps, which makes $9.99 a month the best value here. The trade-off is the format: there is no teacher to watch and no live session. Buy on the website, where it costs $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year, against $12.99 or $99.99 in the App Store.

What we like

• Every session is generated fresh from your level, focus, pace and time, so no two practices repeat
• One subscription unlocks seven apps: yoga, Pilates, HIIT, barre, meditation, running and 7-minute workouts
• Deep customization: six voices, music styles, guidance level, boost poses and rest poses
• Students and teachers with a school email can apply for free access

Watch out for

• The website price ($9.99 a month) and the App Store price ($12.99 a month) differ, so buy on the website
• No filmed teacher-led classes and no live classes, only voice guidance over video clips
• No free tier beyond a brief trial, so the trial is the only way to test it

#2

ALO Wellness Club

Best for: Yoga lovers who want studio-quality filmed classes free with an Alo account, plus Pilates and meditation

Visit wellnessclub.aloyoga.com

Starting priceFree (full library with a free Alo Access account)

Free planYes — full library free with an Alo Access account

ALO Wellness Club is the former Alo Moves app, relaunched with the subscription paywall removed. A free Alo Access account now opens the full library: more than 4,000 classes and 300 programs across yoga, Pilates, strength, barre, meditation and sleep, filmed in Alo's bright studio style.

For yoga alone, it is the best-looking free library in this list by a clear margin. The free price comes with two catches: some single programs are still sold inside the app for $19.99 to $49.99 each, and there are no live classes. Even so, a practitioner who wants polished filmed classes and pays nothing has no better option.

What we like

• The whole library is free: more than 4,000 classes and 300 programs with a free Alo Access account
• The best video quality here, with bright, studio-shot classes from well-known teachers
• Yoga sits beside Pilates, strength, barre, meditation and sleep content in one app
• Structured programs and challenges give the free library a clear path to follow

Watch out for

• Some single programs are still sold inside the app for $19.99 to $49.99 each
• No live classes, so everything is on demand
• A free account means joining Alo's loyalty program, so expect marketing emails

#3

Nike Training Club

Best for: Anyone who wants guided yoga and full workouts at zero cost and already has, or will make, a free Nike account

Visit nike.com

Starting priceFree (full library with a free Nike account; no paid plan)

Free planYes — full library free with a Nike account

Nike Training Club is the answer for anyone whose budget is the point. Nike funds it as brand, not business, so the entire library of trainer-led programs costs nothing and nags about nothing. Yoga sits beside strength, HIIT, mobility and recovery, with multi-week programs led by Nike trainers.

The library is free with a Nike account, and the App Store listing has no in-app purchases section at all. The trade is depth: yoga is one section of a general fitness app, there are no live classes, and strength work has no set and rep logging. For a free first download, though, nothing here beats it.

What we like

• Completely free: the whole library, with no premium tier, trial clock or in-app purchases
• Trainer-led multi-week programs across yoga, strength, HIIT, mobility and recovery
• Polished filmed coaching with offline downloads and Apple Watch support
• Workouts filter by equipment, time and intensity, so a session fits any day

Watch out for

• Yoga is one section of a general fitness app, not the whole point of it
• No set and rep logging for strength work, and no live yoga classes
• Requires a free Nike account, with no anonymous guest mode

#4

Apple Fitness+

Best for: Apple Watch owners who want polished yoga alongside strength, HIIT and meditation in one app

Visit apple.com

Starting price$9.99/month (billed monthly; $79.99/year)

Free planNo — 1-month free trial (3 months with an eligible Apple device)

Apple Fitness+ is a general fitness service with a solid yoga section, and it is the cheapest way into polished studio classes for an Apple household. It costs $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year, covers up to five family members, and shows live Apple Watch metrics on screen during class.

Yoga sits beside HIIT, strength, Pilates, dance, cycling, rowing and meditation, with new workouts added weekly. The limits are the ecosystem: Fitness+ runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV only, and the yoga library is thinner than the dedicated apps here. Pick it when the household already lives on Apple devices.

What we like

• One subscription covers the whole household: up to 5 family members at no extra cost
• Live Apple Watch metrics on screen during class, with new workouts added weekly
• Yoga sits beside strength, HIIT, Pilates, dance, cycling and meditation in one polished app
• Also included in Apple One Premier at $39.95 a month for households already in Apple's bundle

Watch out for

• Apple devices only, so it does not run on Android, Windows or a laptop browser
• Yoga is a small slice of a general fitness service, with less depth than the dedicated yoga apps
• The best experience needs an Apple Watch, which is a separate purchase

#5

Insight Timer

Best for: Meditators who want yoga and breathwork beside the largest free guided-meditation library anywhere

Visit insighttimer.com

Starting price$9.99/month (MemberPlus; $59.99/year)

Free planYes — 300,000+ free tracks and the meditation timer

Insight Timer is unusual among meditation apps because the free version is the main product, not a sample. The free tier opens more than 300,000 guided tracks, a customizable meditation timer, community features and live events, with no credit card needed to sign up.

MemberPlus, the one optional subscription, costs $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year and adds the full course library, offline downloads, ad-free listening and an advanced player. Yoga and breathwork sit beside the meditation content. Start on the free tier; pay only if you finish courses and want them offline.

What we like

• The free tier is the main product: 300,000+ guided tracks, a timer and live events at no cost
• MemberPlus adds the full course library, offline downloads and ad-free listening for $9.99 a month
• Yoga and breathwork sit beside meditation, sleep and music in one app
• Community features and live sessions keep a solo practice social

Watch out for

• Most structured courses and offline listening need MemberPlus at $9.99 a month
• The 7-day trial starts on the annual plan, so it rolls into $59.99 a year unless cancelled in time
• Yoga is a smaller section than meditation, with less depth than the yoga-first apps here

#6

Peloton

Best for: People who want live, energetic yoga classes with music and community, inside a wider fitness app

★★★★★★★★★★4.2/5 on Trustpilot (6,990 reviews, checked Nov 2026)

Visit onepeloton.com

Starting price$12.99/month (App One, website price; $129/year)

Free planNo — 30-day free trial

Peloton's yoga classes feel like a studio: live sessions, music, energetic instructors and a leaderboard that turns a solo practice into a shared one. App One costs $12.99 a month or $129 a year on Peloton's website and opens thousands of yoga, strength, meditation and outdoor classes, with no Peloton hardware needed.

The 30-day free trial is the longest in this list, so there is time to test the live format properly. Two limits matter: App One caps Bike, Tread and Row classes at three a month, and the App Store charges $15.99 a month against $12.99 on the website. Subscribe on the website, not in the app.

What we like

• Live yoga classes with music, energy and a leaderboard, the closest thing here to a studio class
• A 30-day free trial, the longest trial in this list
• Thousands of classes across yoga, strength, running, cycling and meditation in one app
• No Peloton equipment needed: App One works on a phone, tablet or TV

Watch out for

• App One caps Bike, Tread and Row classes at 3 a month; unlimited equipment classes need App+ at $28.99 a month
• The App Store charges $15.99 a month against $12.99 on the website, so buy on the website
• Trustpilot reviewers rate Peloton mostly on hardware and customer service, not on the classes themselves

#7

Glo

Best for: Experienced practitioners who want world-class teachers, live classes and structured programs

Visit glo.com

Starting price$30/month (billed monthly; $245/year)

Free planNo — 7-day free trial

Glo, formerly YogaGlo, has taught online yoga since 2011 and still has the strongest teacher roster in this list. The library holds more than 4,000 classes across yoga, meditation, Pilates and fitness, with live classes and structured programs, and the most detailed class search here.

It is also the most expensive app here, and its pricing needs care. Its support center lists $30 a month or $245 a year, while its homepage advertises $18 a month, a gap the company does not explain, so budget on the $30 figure. Pick Glo when you already know the basics and want to be taught by the best.

What we like

• The strongest teacher roster here, with live classes and structured multi-week programs
• More than 4,000 classes across yoga, meditation, Pilates and fitness for every level
• Class search by style, level, duration, teacher and body focus is the most detailed here
• A discounted $150-a-year annual plan exists for Yoga Alliance members

Watch out for

• The most expensive app here at $30 a month or $245 a year, and its homepage advertises $18 a month, which does not match its support center
• No free tier beyond the 7-day trial, so the trial is the only way to test it
• The library is deep enough to overwhelm a beginner who just wants a simple daily routine

#8

Yoga International

Best for: Serious students who want deep courses, teacher training and Yoga Alliance continuing-education credits

Visit yogainternational.com

Starting price$19.99/month (membership, billed monthly; $169/year)

Free planNo — 7-day free trial

Yoga International is the study platform of this list. It comes from the Himalayan Institute tradition and pairs more than 3,000 classes with full courses, articles, podcasts, meditations and breathwork, so a practitioner can learn the anatomy and philosophy behind the poses rather than just copying them.

Members can also earn Yoga Alliance continuing-education credits, which matters for teachers keeping a credential current. Membership costs $19.99 a month or $169 a year after a 7-day free trial, and the annual plan adds a free digital practice journal. The tone is academic, which is exactly the appeal for a serious student.

What we like

• The deepest library here for study: courses, articles and podcasts beside the classes themselves
• Earn Yoga Alliance continuing-education credits while you practice
• Annual members get a free digital practice journal and a discount on premium trainings
• More than 3,000 classes across styles, with strong anatomy and philosophy teaching

Watch out for

• At $19.99 a month it costs twice Down Dog's website price for a similar on-demand library
• The academic tone suits serious students better than casual practitioners
• Premium trainings cost extra on top of the membership, from $29 each

#9

Gaia

Best for: Yogis who also want meditation, documentaries and conscious-living films in one subscription

Visit gaia.com

Starting price$11.99/month (billed monthly; $99/year)

Free planNo — 7-day free trial

Gaia is a streaming service first and a yoga platform second, which is either its charm or its flaw. The membership costs $11.99 a month or $99 a year and opens yoga and meditation classes taught by well-known instructors, plus more than 8,000 films, shows, documentaries and series on conscious living.

For a household that watches documentaries as well as practicing yoga, the bundle is good value. The yoga itself is solid but not the focus: there are no live classes, no teacher training and no continuing-education credits, and the catalog is smaller than the dedicated yoga libraries here. Do not pay for both Gaia and Yoga International.

What we like

• One subscription covers yoga, meditation and more than 8,000 films, shows and documentaries
• The annual plan at $99 a year is one of the cheaper yearly prices here
• Yoga International sits under the same owner, Gaia Inc., so the libraries overlap in places
• A 7-day free trial on either the monthly or the annual plan

Watch out for

• Yoga is one section of a much wider streaming service, not the whole point of it
• No live classes and no teacher training or continuing-education credits
• The Events+ tier costs $299 a year, and the yoga library alone may not justify the wider catalog for everyone

#10

Daily Yoga

Best for: Practitioners who want a large class library organized into programs, with a usable free tier before paying

Visit dailyyoga.com

Starting price$17.99/month (Premium, App Store price; annual from $49.99/year on promotion)

Free planYes — limited free classes

Daily Yoga has run since 2012 and is the more traditional option in this list: hundreds of guided classes and a huge pose library, organized into programs like beginner foundations that walk you through a sequence of sessions. It also folds in Pilates, meditation and tai chi, which many people end up wanting once yoga becomes a habit.

Premium is sold as a monthly or yearly subscription through the App Store or Google Play, and prices vary by country and promotion, so the same plan can appear at several price points. The US App Store lists monthly Premium at $17.99, with annual plans from $49.99 on promotion. Use the free tier first and subscribe only if you finish a whole program.

What we like

• One of the largest yoga libraries here, with hundreds of guided classes and a huge pose library
• Programs walk a beginner through a sequence of sessions instead of leaving them to browse
• Pilates, meditation and tai chi sit beside the yoga in the same subscription
• A real free tier with limited classes, so the app can be tried before any payment

Watch out for

• Daily Yoga publishes no price on its own website, so the $17.99 figure comes from its App Store listing
• Promotional prices vary by plan and region, so the checkout price may differ from the one quoted here
• Upsell screens are pushy; decide on the free content first and subscribe only if you finish a program

#11

Asana Rebel

Best for: People who want yoga-inspired fitness, fast-paced strength-led sessions, rather than slow traditional yoga

Visit asanarebel.com

Starting price$19.99/month (App Store price; $71.99/year; first year $35.99 on offer)

Free planYes — free features in the app

Asana Rebel blends yoga with high-intensity training: fast-paced, bodyweight sessions built around traditional poses, plus strength work, sleep content, meditation and nutrition guidance. A short onboarding quiz builds a personalized plan, and the sessions need no equipment, so a practice fits in any room.

The price is the honest problem. Asana Rebel lists no price on its own website, and the App Store shows several overlapping prices: a monthly plan at $19.99, annual plans at $58.99 to $71.99, and first-year discounts down to $35.99. Check the exact price at checkout, and pick it for fitness-led yoga, not slow traditional practice.

What we like

• Yoga-inspired workouts with strength, HIIT, sleep and meditation content in one app
• Personalized plans built around a short onboarding quiz
• Bodyweight sessions need no equipment, so a practice fits in any room
• Free features inside the app let a new user try the format before paying

Watch out for

• Asana Rebel publishes no price on its own website, and the App Store shows several overlapping prices, so check the price at checkout
• Pricing varies by offer: first-year discounts run to $35.99, while the standard annual rate is $71.99
• No free trial is stated, and the fast-paced style suits fitness fans better than traditional yoga practitioners

The best yoga app for most people is the one that matches how they actually practice: a fresh session built for them each morning, a filmed class from a teacher they trust, or a live class with other people in it. We ranked the eleven apps below by fit for the most common buyer, a home practitioner who wants guided yoga without joining a studio, starting with the best all-rounder and the two free options, and every price was checked on November 10, 2026.

How to choose the best yoga app

• Pick the format first. Down Dog generates a new practice every session, Glo and Yoga International film teacher-led classes, and Peloton runs live classes. The formats feel completely different, so try one of each before paying.
• Check where the price comes from. Down Dog, Peloton and Asana Rebel all charge different prices on their website and in the App Store, sometimes by several dollars a month. Buy on the website where a website price exists.
• Start with the free tier, not the trial. ALO Wellness Club, Nike Training Club, Insight Timer and Daily Yoga all offer real free content. A week on the free tier tells you more than a week on a trial clock.
• Count the household. Apple Fitness+ covers up to five family members for $9.99 a month, while every other paid app here charges per person. A shared plan halves the cost per head for a couple.
• Check offline downloads on the plan you would buy. Most paid apps here offer them, but Insight Timer keeps downloads behind MemberPlus and Daily Yoga behind Premium. If you practice on a commute or while travelling, downloads are not optional.

A yoga studio also needs to be found online, not just downloaded. Our guide to online yoga class platforms covers the bigger class libraries, and before you publish new class pages, run your titles through the free SERP snippet preview tool — it shows exactly how the title and description will look in Google.

Whatever you shortlist, run one real week through it before you pay. Use the free tier or the trial with your actual routine, your actual schedule and your actual phone, and check two things: that a session starts in under a minute with no faffing, and that you actually look forward to opening the app on day seven. Every app here offers a free tier or a trial of 7 to 30 days, which is long enough to learn whether the format fits.

Yoga app pricing: what you will actually pay

Take one person practicing at home for a full year. On annual plans, the subscription costs $0 on ALO Wellness Club and Nike Training Club, $59.99 on Down Dog and Insight Timer, $79.99 on Apple Fitness+, $99 on Gaia, $129 on Peloton, $169 on Yoga International, and $245 on Glo. Daily Yoga's annual plans start at $49.99 a year on promotion, and Asana Rebel's standard annual rate is $71.99, with first-year discounts down to $35.99.

Paying month to month for the same year costs more: $119.88 on Down Dog, Apple Fitness+ and Insight Timer, $143.88 on Gaia, $155.88 on Peloton, $215.88 on Daily Yoga, and $239.88 on Yoga International and Asana Rebel, against $360 on Glo. The same one person and the same twelve months cost $59.99 at the cheap end and $360 at the dear end on monthly billing — a $300 gap that comes entirely from the app and the billing cycle, not from features.

Two costs sit outside every number above. First, the store markup: Down Dog costs $12.99 a month in the App Store against $9.99 on its website, Peloton $15.99 against $12.99, and Asana Rebel shows several overlapping prices in the App Store, so buying in the app can add $36 to $60 a year for the same subscription. Second, the extras: ALO Wellness Club sells single programs inside the app for $19.99 to $49.99 each, and Yoga International sells premium trainings from $29 each, so the subscription is not always the whole bill. If the household already pays for Apple devices, the comparison changes — see our guide to fitness studio software for the studio side of the same question.

Annual billing cuts the bill on every paid app here: Down Dog drops from $119.88 to $59.99 a year, Apple Fitness+ from $119.88 to $79.99, and Glo from $360 to $245. ALO Wellness Club and Nike Training Club publish no paid plan at all, so the monthly figure is $0 and the annual figure is $0 too. One more cost to check before you commit: a trial that starts on the annual plan, like Insight Timer's, rolls into a full-year charge unless it is cancelled in time, so set a reminder for the day the trial ends.

Know the difference: a generated practice vs a filmed class

The confusion in this category is between three formats that all call themselves a yoga app. Down Dog generates a practice: it assembles a new sequence from recorded instruction clips every time you press start, so no two sessions are ever the same, but there is no teacher to watch. Glo, Yoga International, ALO Wellness Club and Gaia film classes: a real teacher leads a fixed session you can repeat, rewind and learn from. Peloton runs live classes: a teacher leads in real time, with music and a leaderboard, so the session happens once and then it is gone.

There is a second, quieter confusion: free apps and free tiers. ALO Wellness Club and Nike Training Club are free apps — the whole library costs nothing, with no paid subscription behind it. Insight Timer and Daily Yoga are free tiers — a real library is free, but the full course library and the offline downloads sit behind MemberPlus or Premium. Neither model is better in itself; the question is whether you want a free library that stays free, or a free sample of a library you will eventually pay for.

A third distinction worth knowing is the billing channel. The same subscription can cost $9.99 a month on a website and $12.99 in the App Store, as Down Dog shows, or $12.99 against $15.99, as Peloton shows. The app store takes its cut and passes it on, so always price the app on the vendor's own website before buying inside the app. Asana Rebel shows the extreme version of this: several overlapping prices in the App Store, from $15.99 to $29.99 a month, depending on the offer shown.

Quick comparison: tool type by need

Mistakes to avoid

• Buying in the App Store without checking the website price. Down Dog costs $12.99 a month in the App Store against $9.99 on its website, and Peloton $15.99 against $12.99. The same subscription can cost $36 more a year for no extra benefit.
• Paying monthly when the annual plan is half the price. Down Dog's annual plan costs $59.99 a year against $119.88 month to month, and Glo's $245 against $360. Compare apps on the billing cycle you will actually use.
• Starting a trial that rolls into a full year. Insight Timer's 7-day trial starts on the annual plan, so it rolls into $59.99 a year unless it is cancelled in time. Set a reminder for the day the trial ends.
• Calling ALO Wellness Club or Nike Training Club a free trial. Both are free libraries with no paid subscription behind them. A free tier that stays free is a different deal from a trial that converts.
• Paying for two libraries owned by the same company. Gaia Inc. owns Yoga International, so the two libraries overlap in places. Do not pay for both Gaia and Yoga International.

How we chose

We checked each vendor's own pricing page on November 10, 2026 and recorded the starting price exactly as shown, including the annual-billing figure where the page lists one, and we ranked the apps by fit for the most common buyer — a home practitioner who wants guided yoga without joining a studio — not by brand size. Three prices are not vendor-verified and are flagged as such: Down Dog's homepage lists no price, so its $9.99 website rate comes from its App Store listing and recent vendor-based reads, and Daily Yoga ($17.99 a month) and Asana Rebel ($19.99 a month) publish no price on their own websites, so both figures come from their App Store listings as reported in October and November 2026 reviews. Glo's homepage advertises $18 a month, which does not match the $30 a month in its support center; we used $30. Ratings are shown only where a fresh Trustpilot page gave a clear score and review count on November 10, 2026: Peloton, at 4.2 out of 5 from 6,990 reviews. Glo carries no rating here because its Trustpilot page could not be opened today, and we would rather show no rating than a stale one. No vendor paid for a place in this list, and none of the links here are affiliate links.

What to do next

Start with the free tier or trial of your top pick and run one real week of practice through it. Check that a session starts in under a minute, that the format suits you, and that you actually look forward to opening the app on day seven before you commit to a year. If the practice is sorted but new students are not finding your studio, our local SEO service handles the visibility side — or compare platforms in our guide to online yoga classes. Software runs the business; search brings the customers. See where you rank locally, free.
