Jai Ganesha!
Today we have just rolled out a complete rebuild of the Spiritual Workout App for iOS!
Android users will be receiving their update next week.
So if you have an Apple device, you should be able to use it today. If you have the previous version already, it might auto-update, or you can go to your app store and search for it to download it or update it manually.
What’s New
A complete rebuild — refreshed look, smoother feel, and several new ways to deepen your daily practice.
- Custom Routines — design your own daily sequence, with the practices and durations of your choosing
- Custom Affirmations — write your own alongside the built-in ones
- Journal — capture insights and reflections after each practice
- A daily reflection from Gurudeva on the home screen
- Practice insights, a 14-day mood chart, and a quiet heatmap of your year
- Multiple color themes to suit your mood and surroundings
- Gentle daily reminders, and an optional Face ID lock for privacy
Fully offline. No ads. No tracking. A refuge to return to each day.
More info from our App Store Description:
While today nearly everyone appreciates the need for daily exercise to stay fit and healthy, many don’t realize the need to maintain a balanced spiritual life through daily practices. The Spiritual Workout is designed for Hindus — and for those who consider themselves Spiritual But Not Religious — who would like to maintain a daily spiritual practice but may not always have much time to give to spiritual well-being.
The app offers a range of practices drawn from the Saiva Hindu tradition:
— Japa: mantra repetition
— Meditation: guided sessions of several lengths, with optional voice guidance
— Affirmations: built-in affirmations to gently reprogram the subconscious mind, plus the ability to add your own
— Aum Chanting: the most fundamental of all mantras
— Pranayama: a simple but powerful breathing practice
— Hatha Yoga: gentle posture sequences
— Ganesha Puja: a complete home worship with step-by-step audio guidance
— Chanting: Learn several complex Sanskrit mantras
— Study: four important Himalayan Academy publications — Path to Siva, Dancing with Siva, Living with Siva, and Merging with Siva — available offline, with bookmarking and adjustable text size
For those new to spiritual practice — or for busier days — the 10 Minute Sadhana combines several practices into one short daily routine. You can also build your own custom sequences, combining any practices in any order, with the durations you choose.
Spiritual Workout works offline, contains no ads, and tracks nothing about you off your device. It is offered as a refuge — a place to return to each day, not a streak to maintain.
Aum Namah Sivaya
