Quick answer: The Yoga Poses Wheel picks a random yoga pose, like Tree Pose, Warrior II or Downward Dog, and shows a picture of the pose with a one-line how-to. Spin a few times for a quick flow. Free, no sign-up, works on any phone.
Can’t decide what to stretch next? Let the wheel choose. Every slice shows the pose, so you can see it at a glance, and the winner card tells you how to do it in one simple line. Spiññer wanted to demonstrate the poses itself, but it doesn’t have knees, so we hired real people.
How to use the Yoga Poses Wheel
- Tap SPIN. The wheel lands on a random yoga pose.
- Look at the picture and read the how-to on the winner card.
- Hold the pose for 3 to 5 slow breaths, then spin again.

Add your own poses
Open the Names & options box and type any pose, one per line, like “Pigeon Pose” or “Happy Baby”. Your own poses show as text on the wheel (the 12 poses above have pictures). You can also mix in moves from the Workout Wheel for a yoga and strength session.
Go gently and skip any pose that hurts or doesn’t feel right for your body. If you’re pregnant, injured or new to exercise, check with a doctor or a qualified yoga teacher first.
