You can choose to do them in the order they are presented, or combine them in whatever order you want. You have the ability to repeat the ones you like, maximizing attention and effort where it is needed most. You also have the ability to take out unnecessary interludes between exercises, making for a continuous, time saving routine.

You can combine the Yoga and Strength Training exercises with the Wii Fit U, here are the Yoga Activities that are included in the Wii  Fit U. Deep Breathing, Triangle, Gate, Chair, Spine Extension, Warrior, Dance, Half Moon, Downward Facing Dog, Grounded V, Sun Salutation, Bridge, Tree, Cobra, Palm Tree, Shoulder Stand, Standing Knee and Spinal Twist.

But the poses and instruction are greatly enhanced over the original Wii Fit,  you can view the trainer's body with a 360 degree view to ensure that you're matching it precisely.

You have the option of viewing your own video image next to the trainer's using the GamePad camera (it doesn't automatically detect whether you're precisely matching the trainer, but you can eyeball whether you are easily enough).


The Yoga poses are traditional ones like "half moon", "downward facing dog", etc. 15 of them are the same as in the original Wii Fit Plus, while 3 are new ones

 I found I got a challenging workout that incorporated sun salutations, strength flows, deep twists and balancing poses - after working out I felt muscle fatigue; as though I had really been through a good yoga workout! If you are looking for something deeply traditional then this might not be for you, but if you are looking for a really good, effective yoga workout that you can change as your goals change, then this is it! It is fun, challenging and keeps you interested!
