Hot Yoga Timer - Bikram 4+

This is an app that is good enough. It’s not perfect but it is very helpful as a bikram timer and to remind me what the poses are supposed to look like. The 60 minute version is a little quirky and seems to just eliminate some of the rest breaks in order to condense the practice down from the 90 minute version. But I can work with that. Overall, I’m very thankful to the developer for creating this app. It’s the only bikram timer I’ve found. Sometimes good enough is good enough!

This app is made for ppl who already have a Bikram practice and have taken many classes in a studio with a qualified teacher. If you are new to Bikram this app will not teach you. It only gives photos and no language to set up the pose which can and most likely will result in injury. If you want to learn Bikram, go to a studio and learn with a qualified teacher who can help you exactly where you are physically.

This app works well as a timer for the poses. It did feel like some of the timing is a little off.. too long or too short in certain postures. But this IS something that can also vary a bit in live classes too. I’ve always dreaded the one or two teachers who seem to relish the “torture chamber” and hold the challenging poses “forever” 😅.

The photos are beautiful and the app works well for what it is.. a timer. The green line is a nice feature. I like to use this app to take a break from my Bikram audio recording since there are no classes where I now live.

Perfect for what I needed it for. I needed to be able to time the postures and be visually reminded what the next posture is.
The pictures are clear and there are also transitional photos to remind you how to get into the more complex postures.
I have not figured out how to get the lulling ocean music to play in the background, but I don't know if that's just me or an actual problem within the app.
Extremely simple to use and navigate through. Excellent app for at home practice for those who have been in the studio before.
