About
My Yoga Studio is an app concept designed for a chain of fitness studios offering yoga classes across multiple locations in London. It aims to assist users in evaluating class suitability and monitoring their progress over time.
Goal
Design an app to inspire users in their yoga journey and educate them about various types of yoga.
My role
Explore several design concepts to define the visual direction and craft a motivating end-to-end experience.
First things first
The user experience of My Yoga Studio prioritises simplicity and gamification. This ensures that users can easily navigate the app while enjoying a sense of accomplishment and engagement. Account creation is a crucial initial step, enabling users to seamlessly monitor their progress and schedule classes. Inspired by yoga's serene atmosphere, the interface is predominantly green, aiming to create a calm and peaceful experience for users as they engage with the app.
Zen zone awaits
The app is structured into four main sections, accessible via the bottom navigation bar. The Home tab provides an overview of the user's progress and upcoming classes, prioritising essential information. Gamification elements are integrated into proficiency levels and achievements to enhance user engagement and motivation. By rewarding progress, these features aim to boost satisfaction, encourage regular usage, and foster a sense of accomplishment in the yoga journey.
Bookings made easy
The Classes tab facilitates browsing, booking, and rescheduling of classes. Each type of yoga has its dedicated screen, assisting users in selecting the most suitable class based on its benefits, difficulty level, and duration. Images are utilised to depict the class experience, enabling users to envision themselves in the session. For added flexibility, users can easily reschedule or cancel bookings.
Where in the world
Customers can locate classes through the Studios tab, which utilises location services to display nearby studios. Additionally, a search bar allows users to find studios in other areas, such as those near their workplace, for added convenience. Upon selecting a studio, users can view information about opening hours, types of classes offered, and a summary of availability for the upcoming week.
Motivation and wellbeing
The Profile section provides users with insights into their progress, including proficiency level, achievements, and activity. Integrating gamification elements aims to motivate and engage users, ultimately enhancing their wellbeing. To provide context to this progress, it is essential to visually link it with the number of days yoga was practiced, establishing a clear perspective on users' achievements.
