It is a little bit incongruous that when you need a calm, quiet environment that means putting your tablet or smartphone to one side, there are yoga apps, and that means you need your electronic device on hand. You just have to be disciplined enough not to be bothered by any incoming messages or calls. Yoga should teach you that discipline so it really shouldn’t be an issue. And, on the other hand, yoga apps mean you have assistance in your moves when you’re on the go or can’t get to a class.
