Customizing Your Practice

Setting Your Music and Voice

Once you've started a practice, if you tap the screen and pause your practice, you can adjust the music and voice volume by using the Music/Voice mixing slider.

After you have set the Music/Voice ratio that you prefer, then you can use your device to increase or decrease the overall volume.

We offer many categories of music and are constantly adding new options! In the app, you can switch the music style by swiping up the settings view and tapping Music! On the web version, you can scroll through the settings and click the Music option.

You can turn the in-app music off by swiping up the settings view and tapping Music, then tapping None for the music type!

If you'd like to play your own music, you can do so through other apps on your device. However, while the audio cues are turned up to max volume by default on phones and tablets, sometimes this isn't enough to overpower the sound coming from Spotify/iTunes/etc.

In those cases, we recommend either using an external speaker to play music, or using the web version (https://www.downdogapp.com/web) on a laptop or desktop, with your music turned down in the background.

Yoga, Prenatal, Meditation, and HIIT

We currently offer multiple English-speaking voices in these apps. On mobile, you can change the voice you hear by swiping up on the main settings page, and then tapping on Voice. On web, you can scroll through the settings and click the Voice option.

We also offer several non-English speaking voices in these apps. You can change the language by navigating to Settings (on the mobile app, tap the 3 horizontal lines in the bottom right, and on the web app Settings will be on the left sidebar) and then tap Language!

Barre

There's only one voice for now, but we plan to add additional languages and voices in the future.

You can change the language by navigating to Settings (on the mobile app, tap the 3 horizontal lines in the bottom right, and on the web app Settings will be on the left sidebar) and then tap Language!

Tips for Beginner Yogis

Yoga:

There are a few settings you can adjust to slow down your practice - we recommend experimenting with them all!

Transition Speed

Swipe up to see your full settings. Under Timing, tap on Transition Speed and set it to Slowest to allow for the most time transitioning between one pose and another, then tap Select. Please note older practice types do not support this feature.

Hold Lengths

Swipe up to see your full settings. Under Timing, tap on Hold Lengths and set it to Longest to allow for the most time in each pose, then tap Select . Please note older practice types do not support this feature.

Warmup and Cooldown

Set your Warmup and Cooldown to Extended. Please note older practice types do not support these features.

Instruction Level

To get the most instruction and pointers, you can also set your Instruction level to Full.

Practice Types

You might also try setting your practice Type to Gentle or Hatha rather than Vinyasa , to leave out the vinyasa flows/chaturangas. Or if you’re looking to slow things down even more, set your practice Type to Yin, or Restorative!


Prenatal Yoga:

Swipe up in settings view and set your Pace to Slowest to spend the most time in each pose. To get the most instruction and pointers, you can also set your Instruction level to Full Explanation.

HIIT:

You can change the time spent on each exercise. Swipe up in settings view and under Practice, tap on Exercise Length. You can also adjust the rest time in between exercises by tapping on Recovery.

Yoga:

Set Your Level

If you're new to yoga we recommend starting with Level Beginner 1, found under Practice settings.

Choose Your Practice Type

For a softer practice that includes standing poses as well as floor poses, try Practice Type Gentle.

For a restful practice with only floor poses, try Restorative, or Yin, which will allow for the longest holds in the poses.

For a faster, flowing, more energetic practice, try Vinyasa.

If you want to flow less, skip the chaturangas, and let the heat build by holding poses longer, try Hatha.

Instruction Level

Set your Instruction level to Full to receive the most detailed instructions.

Set Your Transition Speed and Hold Length

If you want to slow your practice down further, we recommend adjusting your Transition Speed to Slowest and your Hold Lengths to Longest. Please note older practice types do not support these features.

Extend Your Warmup and Cooldown

For Practice Types of Vinyasa, Hatha, and Gentle, adjust your Warmup and Cooldown to Extended. Please note older practice types do not support these features.

Like and Exclude Poses
For Practice Types of Vinyasa, Hatha, and Gentle, "like" poses and see them more often in your practice, or "dislike" poses and you'll never see them again.


Prenatal Yoga:

If you're new to yoga we recommend starting with Level Beginner 1, which is found by swiping up in settings view and looking under the Practice settings.

For a restful practice, we recommend starting out with Restorative, which is all floor work and will allow for the longest holds in the poses.


Meditation:

If you're new to meditation, we recommend keeping your Longest Silence fairly short - the default is 2 minutes, but you can shorten it all the way down to 30 seconds if you'd prefer to have less silence and more guidance. You can also set your Guidance Amount to Most to get the most instruction we offer!


HIIT

Our default settings are a great place to start!

If HIIT is too challenging on Level 1, try Level 0! You can also try spending a shorter time on each exercise. You can adjust this by swiping up in settings view and adjusting your settings under Practice, where you can adjust your Exercise Length. You'll be surprised how big a difference 5 or 10 seconds can make! You can also decrease the length of your overall workout, and increase the length of each Recovery between exercises.

We offer two practice types, Rotation and Progression. Select Progression to move through different parts of the body always in the same order, or choose Rotationto move through different parts of the body but mix up the order across different practices!


Barre:

You can adjust the difficulty by changing the length of your workout. Experienced athletes should start with 15 or 20 minutes, and work their way up if they want an additional challenge. If you're a beginner, you might want to start with just 5 minutes every day or 10 minutes every other day. Keep it up, and you'll be ready for longer workouts in no time!

Because everybody is different, you might try moving up one level and see how that feels. Some days you may want to go down a level, other days you may feel like trying something new! Most importantly, listen to the feedback your body gives you, and move slowly and with control.

The Facebook Community, accessible via the Settings page on the app, is a great resource for getting advice from other people using the app!

Yoga:

Try Yoga Nidra

You can find Yoga Nidra in the Yoga app under practice Type.

Note: Yoga Nidra is audio only - there will be no video.

A lot of people enjoy setting the Music to Nature Sounds, Ambient, Brain Waves or Piano and Strings in the app. Try out a few and see which one you prefer!

If you're new to Yoga Nidra, we recommend listening to it with Instruction Type set to Full Explanation or Default.

You can also use Yoga Nidra to fall asleep.  After selecting Yoga Nidra as your practice Type, go to Boost and tap Sleep!


Prenatal Yoga:

Set your Boost to Breathing! This will give you some breathing exercises at the beginning of your practice, as well as a guided meditation at the end!


Meditation:

We have an entire app dedicated to meditation and breathing! Check it out at Meditation!

If you're new to meditation, to receive the most instruction we offer, swipe up the settings view and set your Guidance Amount to Most, and set your Longest Silence to a short time like 30 seconds or 1 minute.

Yoga Nidra is a deeply relaxing guided meditation. In the main yoga app, you can find it under Practice Type.

Note: Yoga Nidra is audio only - there will be no video.

Yes! There are a few ways to save a practice for offline use. Note this only works on the mobile apps, not web.

Download a practice you've never done before

From your home screen, set all of the settings you'd like to have in a practice, then tap on the Down Arrow near the bottom of your screen. This will take you to your Offline Practice screen.

Note that this will only work for practices in your History that are from the app you are currently using. For example, if you have previously used the Meditation app to do a breathing practice, and you are currently using the Yoga app to view your History, the breathing practice you previously did will appear in your History list. Because this prior practice is from a different app than you are currently viewing, a little blue icon will appear next to this practice reflecting that it is from the Meditation app. You must go to the Meditation app and access your History list from there to have the option of downloading the breathing practice.

View a downloaded practice

From your home screen, tap on the Down Arrow near the bottom of your screen. This will take you to your Offline Practice screen. Any practice you see displayed has been downloaded and is ready to be played without an internet connection!

Troubleshooting

You likely created multiple Down Dog accounts by accident. You should try logging out of the app and logging back in with any other email addresses you may have used. Please note that your subscription works across all of our apps and on all of your devices (including the web version), but you must be signed in with the same email you used to make the purchase. Note that Apple, Google, and PayPal may have sent receipts to the email address you have associated with those services, and not the email address you used to log into Down Dog.

If you subscribed from within the mobile app using Apple iTunes or Google Play, you should try clicking Restore In-App Purchase from the menu of the app. Be sure to do this from within the same app in which you made the original purchase.

If you subscribed via PayPal and you don't have access to your subscription, your payment most likely did not succeed. You can check this from within your PayPal account, or by visiting the Settings of the app where you will see a subscription that only lasts a few days. If this is the case, you were not actually charged and you can attempt to make the purchase again by visiting our website. You may have more success paying with a credit card directly rather than using PayPal.

Here are some steps you can take to try and get sound out of the app:

• Have you made sure that your device itself isn't muted? You can check this by playing music or audio through a different app.
• Have you checked that the in-app volume is on? Once you've started a practice, you can adjust the balance between music and voice volume by pausing your practice, then adjusting the slider near the bottom of the screen. To hear both music and voice, make sure it's adjusted near the middle!
• Have you tried closing & reopening the app?
• Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?
• Have you tried using the web version of Down Dog (https://www.downdogapp.com/web) to see if you have the same issue?

Here are a few things you can try:

1. Uninstall and reinstall the app

2. Switch to lower quality video. Start a practice, then pause it. Tap on the Gear icon in the upper right corner. Tap Video Quality. You should see options for higher and lower quality video. This setting is only available on the yoga apps.

3. Web only: Try a different browser. Down Dog works best with Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.

If your entire practice is flipped, check to make sure you don't have the mirroring function turned on! Here’s how to check!

On the mobile app:
1. Start a practice
2. At the top right of your screen, tap the Gear icon. Toggle Mirror Video to on or off to flip the display

On the web app:
1. Start a practice
2. At the bottom right of your screen, click the third icon from the left to flip the display

You can change between different visual types! Start a practice, then pause it. Tap on the Gear icon in the upper right corner. Tap Video Quality. You should see options for higher and lower quality video. This setting is only available on the yoga apps.

If your CAST BUTTON is not showing up:

1. Start a practice, then pause. Do you see the cast button (top right corner for Android/iOS; bottom right corner for the web app)? We only show the cast button during a practice.

2. Try casting something else (e.g. YouTube) from the same device. Do you see a cast button then? If not, make sure your chromecast-enabled device (such as a TV) is turned on and is on the same WiFi network as your computer or your Android/iOS device. If you're on a computer, make sure you're using Chrome.

3. Try casting from a different device. If you were using Android/iOS, try casting from the web app on your computer, and vice versa.

4. Try turning off battery optimization for the Down Dog app(s) on your phone. This will let the app keep communicating with your Chromecast device, instead of going into power saving mode after a few minutes of inactivity.


If you're "CONNECTED" but the video doesn't play:

First, make sure that you're waiting long enough for Down Dog to load on your TV. Loading can take up to 60 seconds. During this time your TV will initially show a yellow "loading" bar across the bottom, then fade to black. Your TV will show the video once it has finished loading.

If your TV screen is still black after 60 seconds, or if the words "Down Dog" appear in the middle of a black screen, exit your practice and try again. You can restart the same practice from the History tab (the clock icon at the bottom of your screen for Android/iOS; in the left sidebar for web).


If your cast DISCONNECTS after a few minutes of playback:

1. Check your WiFi signal strength. If your Chromecast or phone/computer has a weak signal, you can improve the signal strength using a WiFi extender or by moving it closer to your router.

2. Turn off battery optimization for the Down Dog app(s) on your phone. This will let the app keep communicating with your Chromecast device, instead of going into power saving mode after a few minutes of inactivity.

3. If that doesn't fix the issue, you can also try restarting your router.

4. Finally, try editing your phone's stored wifi connection settings to use a static IP address.

Yoga Nidra is audio only - there will be no video!

Yoga Nidra is a deeply relaxing guided meditation. You can find it under practice Type, scroll all the way to the bottom. A lot of people enjoy setting the Music to Nature Sounds, Ambient, Brainwaves or Piano & Strings in the app ... try out a few and see which one you prefer!

If you're new to Yoga Nidra, we recommend listening to it with Instruction Type set to Full Explanation or Default.

You can also use Yoga Nidra to fall asleep.  After selecting Yoga Nidra as your practice Type, go to Boost and tap Sleep!
