Spiritual Workout

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.

A few more touches:

— A daily reflection from Gurudeva Sivaya Subramuniyaswami on the home screen

— Optional mood tracking and a simple journal for reflection after practice

— Gentle daily reminders at the times you set

— Practice insights — current streak, weekly minutes, favorite practices — presented as a quiet record, never as a demand

— Multiple color themes to suit your mood and surroundings

— Optional Face ID or passcode lock for privacy

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.
