Kinect Yoga

Kinect Yoga Games

There is not an actual kinect Yoga game on it's own, but there are some Yoga Classes incorporated in some of the Kinect Sports Games.

The first kinect yoga game introduced is " Your Shape and Fitness Evolved" and this has a section with yoga in it, there are a good selection of other fitness challenges to choose from.

With this kinect game you get to choose a personal trainer to help you meet your specific fitness goals, take a Yoga or Martial Arts class, or play fun, family-friendly mini-games. This game has a 7.8 rating from over 422 reviews

The second kinect game that is related to kinect yoga is Deepak Chopra's Leela and this is more of a meditation game that gives an experience that brings you focus, energy and balance.This game is very relaxing and focuses your attention on certain parts of your body to relax and develop a flow state through seven movements and the ancient system of chakras. This has a 8.0 rating out of 10 from 48 reviews, you can now pick this up for a very reasonable price.

The next kinect game that has kinect yoga included in it is Your Shape and Fitness Evolved 2012, there are 4 yoga lessons included in this game as well as several other fitness classes, Zen, Cardio and several types of dance classes to give you a good workout.
 In this kinect yoga game , Xbox analyzes your limb configuration with a stick figure drawn over your onscreen image, telling you which parts of your body are in or out of alignment. When you've got it right, the white lines turn green, checkmarks accrue and there's glitter and sound effects everywhere up in the HUD.

It's a great feedback mechanism and makes exercising feel more like a game instead of exercise. Nothing beats having a human fitness instructor guiding you, but this is about as close as it gets doing it in your own home.



There is one more kinect games that I have discovered that also has a section of Kinect Yoga included and that is " The Biggest Loser - Ultimate Workout" , this kinect game has a workout that includes warm ups, cool downs, new cardio boxing, yoga, circuit training (upper body and lower body), as well as core exercises, and allows players to create a custom fitness program or choose from ten preset fitness program.
