The main objective of the Lotus yoga app is to enable anyone to do yoga from their comfort zone. The app is a boon for women and millennials who could not manage their time to visit yoga classes. On research, it appears that there are various types of people with different preferences for practicing yoga.

Julia Mead
About
Julia is a health freak and likes to workout on a daily basis under coach guidance to be fit and healthy. She wants to keep track of her daily exercise to evaluate her fitness improvement periodically. She wants to learn some on the go stretching exercise during her office hours to feel energetic. She needs a diet chart and yoga routine to follow regularly.
Needs & Goals
Julia is a working mother, and so she has a tight schedule for her yoga and workout sessions. And also, she sometimes forgets to keep up with yoga class. Joining expensive yoga classes is worthless for her as none of the yoga classes provide a flexible schedule that she can manage. Moreover, there is not any gym or yoga class nearest her home. She has been trying to do yoga every morning, but she forgets and fails every other day.

Ami Jordan
About
Ami lives a roving life and travels anywhere to maintain her Yoga practice. She barely earns to meet her ends, nevertheless, she values a natural and unpressured lifestyle. She is active on social media like Instagram to express her yoga skills. The studio where she works as a yoga instructor is not so helpful for her so she started to give private yoga classes online to several students through the live session on her private Instagram that she created only for a class.
Needs & Goals
Ami wants to teach her student without any stress and hassle from anywhere she can operate her laptop. Sometimes unpaid students break into her live session; she wants to be paid for each class attendees with a track. She is willing to create compelling yoga videos, diet charts, and a routine for premium students.
Mood board
For Lotus Yoga and Meditation mobile app, we adopted the tranquil theme that generates peaceful vibes and evokes tranquillity within users throughout their app experience. Have a peek at the visual presentation of the yoga app like Daily yoga.
User flow
Our UX designer creates a path that includes the user journey from their entry point through a set of steps towards a final action, such as enrolling in a yoga session.
Main Features
01. Onboarding
When a user launches the app for the first time, the onboarding session will take them through individual yoga sessions available on the app to entice them to take any action, such as more info or enrolling for the course.
02. Sign Up/In
As soon as a user tries to take any action, the app will ask them to sign up on the app first to access further information entering their basic details or a social account.
03. Yoga Session
Yoga Session feature is like a catalog of the sessions the app is offering. Users can check the insights of each session, including yoga instructor, price, duration, etc.
04. Profile & Setting
To keep track of every activity and fitness improvement, users can quickly check into their profile in the yoga and meditation app and set their fitness goals accordingly.
