Ground & Return

Alignment-based daily yoga

The practice is to come back.

Ground & Return is a quiet practice app built around sequence, alignment, and repetition. The day tells you what to do. You move at your own pace. The app keeps your place when you return.

What it is

Sequence, alignment, repetition. Nothing more.

This practice is built on the patient refinement of a few essential shapes. We made an app that respects that: no infinite feed, no calorie loops, no follow-along videos that race past you.

Just today's practice, the next pose, and the place you left off.

01

Sequence

Each day moves through standing, seated, twists, forward extensions, and rest in an order that compounds.

02

Alignment

Every pose carries method notes: where the weight lives, what extends, what softens.

03

Repetition

The same shapes return week after week. The body learns by coming back, not by chasing new.

The complete syllabus

A 28-week arc.
196 days, in order.

Begin at week one. The app shows you what to practice today and remembers where you stop. Foundation is the opening chapter; the playable path continues through the complete 28-week syllabus.

Each square is a day. Density grows gently: week 1 settles you; week 12 holds inversions and longer holds.
