Yoga on Wii

Yoga Screen Shots

Yoga is a Improvement game available on the Wii. It can be played in Thirdperson modes.

Yoga is a Improvement game. Self improvement games tap into the popular trend in exercise, workouts and therapy. Experiences as diverse as Brain Training on Nintendo DS and Wii-Fit on the Nintendo Wii have popularised the idea that games can be about more than just having fun - they can improve your brain, body and even mental outlook on life.

Yoga can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Domestic Gamer review Thu, 24 Dec 2009

Wii Yoga sets out to offer the hardcore Yoga fan an authentic at home experience, enhanced by the use of the Wii and Wii Fit board. Although there is plenty here to challenge and stretch, for newcomers like me it's all a little daunting - and doesn't all that pretty.

As a busy mum I would love a bit of time to sit down, breath, stretch and relax. I've always liked the idea of Yoga and it seems like the thing that would compliment my other love - running. Running tends to feel quite hard on the body and also makes me a bit hyper - to much adrenalin coursing around my body! So something that brings a bit of balance would be nice. As ever I don't have any spare evenings to go to a Yoga class, so being able to do some at home seems ideal.

Frugal Gamer review Thu, 24 Dec 2009

Let Anja Rubik guide you through the philosophical basis and practical application for Yoga in this new game for the Nintendo Wii. Yoga for Wii will encourage you to take the right steps to improve your health and maintain a state of good well-being. Supporting a wide range of body positions in conjunction with the Wii's own Balance Board, youll be given immediate feedback on your posture and guided through the essential poses in Yoga. Develop your own exercise plan, slow your day down and allow your mind and body to reach a calm state of well-being - all through Yoga for Wii.

After the tremendous Wii Fit arrived to Nintendo Wii consoles in 2007 the fitness genre has been born on the home console. Yoga for Wii attempts to bring a bit of Zen to the workout room and teach you the basics and philosophy behind Yoga. Guiding you through the game is Anja Rubik, top model and Yoga aficionado, although she only appears in brief five minute video clips to dispense knowledge and share experience.
