Let's Yoga is one of the coolest games on the Nintendo DS. It was produced by a company called Konami and is rated E for everyone. You can pick it up in almost any video game shop or even online and you really may want to, since more and more video games are being used to encourage us to get physically fit, not simply entertained. Yoga is supposed to help us relax and strengthen both our bodies and minds and if you have parents or siblings that already do it, you probably have a good idea of what it is all about. The video game itself is a great introduction to the basic principles of yoga, which is why Let's Yoga for the Nintendo DS is so cool. Taking yoga lessons from your Nintendo DS isn’t as silly as it sounds. Since the game console is small enough to carry about anywhere, you can do just that. You can take it on a sleepover to a friend’s house, to school or even on vacation with your family and never miss a yoga class again. Consider Let's Yoga to be your very own, pocket-sized, personal yoga trainer. The game really is a great way for newcomers to yoga to get started. It is also a good way for people who practice yoga on a regular basis to stay active when they travel and may not be able to make it to the yoga studio. The game allows you to choose your gender and enter your name. You then make up a personal avatar in the settings menu, so that your preferences will remain in the game’s memory. Its fun to choose these details, as you can pick your background colour, your breath meter indicator, your clothing options and even the type of mat you want to use. The game offers a guide menu that will help you understand the exercises you will be doing. You will also find a few basic tips in the guide that comes with the game, as well as onscreen indicators and a glossary of common yoga terms. You have a choice of five different options, which include the short set, random yoga, chair yoga, my yoga and pose list. Let's Yoga allows you to have a diverse workout or even to select your favourite poses and do only those. The choice is yours. The pose list is by far the best feature of Let's Yoga. It is a list of all the different poses offered in the game and shows you what the pose looks like and what it does for your body. The image can be rotated so that you can see what the pose looks like from all angles, which is really helpful when trying to figure it all out. Because yoga cannot be done correctly when holding a Nintendo DS gaming console, Let’s Yoga allows you to place it on the table or floor, watch the video and listen to the instructions. You can also rewind, pause and fast-forward the poses. Let’s Yoga is a great alternative to the everyday video game, as it will help both your mind and body. By all means don’t forget to play your favourite game every now and then, but a good session of Let’s Yoga will be great for you.
