In more recent times we’ve seen people from all around the world making a conscious decision to pursue a more active and healthy lifestyle. While many think that mobile devices prevent this from happening, the launch of Yoga Retreat on iOS devices is showing otherwise. While there’s always been an array of apps to help you achieve weight loss goals or even apps for healthier recipes, this new creation from Gajatri Studios focuses on bringing calm to all aspects of life.
Yoga Retreat sees players opening their very own yoga studio, with the aim of providing various techniques of relaxation to their customers. While it may seem like various city building or shop owning apps that are popular on both iTunes and Google Play, the focus of the game is to relax and take your time helping other to achieve their relaxation goals, which, in turn, encourages players to slow things down in their own world and really take a break.
When you first open your Yoga Resort, customers will appear near the yoga mats, where you will have to instruct them on what positions to complete. While the moves take time to complete, players are rewarded with both coins and XP points when the sequences are finished. It’s not just yoga that’s involved in the game, however, with many other aspects of healthy living incorporated. After completing their yoga session, your customers may choose to participate in some quiet meditation or enjoy a healthy drink. The more activities you complete within your resort, the more coins and XP points you will achieve.
Finnish game developer Gajatri Studios have brought something new to the mobile gaming world, but only time will tell how relaxing (and successful) this new venture will be.
