Stretching & Flexibility app review: learn to stretch without Yoga
Introduction
Yoga can be a great way of improving your fitness and flexibility, but Stretching & Flexibility: Learn to Stretch Without Yoga for iPad has been designed to provide you with a slightly more alternative approach to creating a more supple and agile body.
The best yoga apps for the iPhoneThis is a great app which features a full range of Active, Passive, and Dynamic stretches to help you really get the most out of what your body is capable, and in turn improve your health and well-being for the long term.
The developer has quite clearly put a lot of thought into the stretches and exercises in this app, not to mention the overall sequencing of the routines, so I would definitely recommend it to those of you who are looking for a non-Yogic approach to stretching and flexibility.

This app includes a total of 48 videos, comprised of 35 Training videos, six Warm Up videos, and seven Full Routine videos.
