Curated Workouts

Yoga Flow Workouts

Mat, breath, body. Sun salutations to wake up, vinyasa rounds for heat, balance work for focus, and long holds to come back down. Pick a session, breathe through the nose, and let the flow do the work.

The Practice

Why Time a Yoga Flow

Why Put a Timer on Yoga?

In a class, someone else keeps time. Practice alone and the timekeeping falls to you: counting breaths through a long hold, glancing at a clock mid-Warrior 2, guessing whether the second side got as long as the first. Every glance breaks the shape — and the focus — you were holding.

A timer takes that job back. Set the holds once and every transition is announced with sound, so your eyes can stay closed or fixed on a focal point while the session runs itself. Sides come out even, long holds run their full length, and Savasana lasts as long as you decided it should — not as long as your patience does.

What Is in This Collection

The sessions here cover a full self-guided practice. The foundations start gently: six one-minute rounds of Sun Salutation A, a five-minute wake-up flow of seven shapes, and a joint mobility prep that rotates through neck, shoulders, spine, and hips. The standing flows build heat — circuits of warrior and triangle holds, and power flow rounds of two minutes of continuous vinyasa with Down Dog between.

Balance and core sessions hold the middle: Tree, Eagle, Dancer, and Half Moon stations, blocked plank holds, and boat intervals. The long holds close things down — a cool-down that ends in four minutes of Savasana, and a yin hip sequence of passive two-minute holds. Every session runs automatically from the first interval to the last.

Breath First, Clock Second

Yoga pacing is built on breath, and a clock is only a stand-in for counting it. The trick is to size the intervals so the two agree: a 45-second hold is a handful of slow breaths, and a one-minute salutation works out to roughly a breath per movement. Once an interval matches your natural rhythm, you stop thinking about the clock entirely — you breathe until the sound tells you to move.

Everyone’s breath runs at its own rate, so treat the preset durations as starting points. If a hold keeps ending mid-exhale or a salutation feels hurried, open the session in the editor and adjust the interval until the timing disappears into the breathing.

When to Use These Sessions

Match the session to the moment. The morning flows wake the body before the day starts; the mobility prep slots in before any standing practice or other training; the standing and balance work makes a complete session on its own. The cool-down and yin sequences earn their place after training of any kind, or as an evening wind-down.

Pick a session above, set the phone where you can hear it, and press start — the timer keeps the practice honest from the opening breath to the final hold.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a yoga timer?
An interval timer set up for yoga: each pose or flow gets a named, timed interval, and the timer announces every change with sound. Instead of counting breaths or watching a clock, you hold the shape until you hear the cue to move.
How long should I hold each yoga pose?
It depends on the style. Flowing sequences move at roughly a breath per position, standing and balance poses are commonly held for 30 to 60 seconds, and yin or restorative shapes run from one to five minutes. The sessions here follow those ranges, and every duration can be changed in the editor.
Can I follow a session with my eyes closed?
Yes. Every transition is announced with sound, so you can keep your eyes closed in floor work or fixed on a focal point during balance holds. The timer watches the clock so you never have to.
Do I need yoga experience to use these timers?
Some familiarity with the poses helps — the timer names each shape and times it, but it does not teach alignment. Start with the foundations sessions, which stick to simple shapes, and swap any unfamiliar pose for one you know in the editor.
How do the timers handle left and right sides?
It varies by session. Some name the sides as separate intervals, like Side Plank Left and Side Plank Right; some dedicate whole rounds to one leg; and the standing circuit leaves the side to you, with a suggested pattern in its notes. Either way, both sides end up with equal time.
Is this yoga timer free?
Yes. The web timer is free and needs no account — pick a session and press start. The same presets open in the free Seconds Interval Timer app on iOS and Android.
