Design Challenge
Balance
A mobile app design challenge for the yogi lifestyle, from on-the-spot meditation to class finders. This mobile interface connects yogis with on-the-spot practices, meditation guides, a class locator, and ability to track progress. Balance allows yogis to practice anytime, anywhere.
PROJECT GOAL
Provide an "in-your-pocket" solution that met the needs of yogis of all backgrounds, from beginners to seasoned practitioners.
ROLE
My role was experience and visual designer.
Designing for modern class access
Mobile applications for a calming exercise such as yoga seem at surface level unusual, but it’s a common tool for students to access their spiritual and physical needs. This application was a redesign of multiple interfaces I’ve interacted with for fitness, from Apple Health to Mindbody.
The target areas of improvement included:
Accessibility
Ease of use, which emphasis on navigation
Leveling up in practice, all the way up to instruction
Class booking
Simplified UI enhancements supported easy access to any upcoming classes near the user.
Surfacing class resources
Users with a subscription can access a variety of pre-recorded, available flows for instances when they cannot attend a class in person. This supports both an in person and virtual class offering.
