Details
Built around sequence, not browsing
Iyengar-style practice depends on order. Standing poses prepare later work, seated shapes clarify the spine, twists and forward extensions change the nervous system, and rest lets the sequence settle.
Ground & Return keeps that order visible. You open the app, see today's practice, and move at your own pace.
Alignment notes stay close to the pose
The app is not trying to replace a teacher. It gives a clear visual reference and plain method notes so a home practitioner can remember where the weight goes, what lengthens, and what should soften.
That makes it useful as a daily reference beside the mat, especially when you already value precise alignment language.
Quiet by design
There is no class feed, no public profile, no streak pressure, and no follow-along video that forces the pace. The interface is meant to give the next step and then get out of the way.
Questions
Is Ground & Return an official Iyengar Yoga app?
No. Ground & Return is an independent alignment-based practice app inspired by sequence, precision, and repetition. It is not affiliated with any Iyengar Yoga organization.
Can beginners use it?
Yes, with care. The Foundation chapter starts with essential work and builds gradually, but people with injuries or medical concerns should work with a qualified teacher or clinician.
