DreamCatcher Games and JoWood Productions have taken the wraps off Yoga for Wii, now in development and scheduled to arrive on shelves this October.

The game will be Balance Board compatible and sees players following step-by-step instructions from in-game Yoga gurus as they participate in various popular Yoga exercises.

Monitor your progress with a tracking system and a personalized schedule, as the yoga guru helps you along, offering suggestions based on your progress and computations taken from the Balance Board. The Wii Remote and Balance Board will be used for many poses to determine your balance, with movements or shifts in weight being detected and recorded once the pose is complete.

Yoga for Wii has three play modes: Story Mode sees players starting out as a beginner and finishing as a yoga guru; learn new poses in Training Mode; while Routine Mode allows you to play a set of consecutive poses, either created by you or pre-created.

The game will also include mini-games to test a player’s knowledge of yoga as well as predetermined routines to help alleviate common ailments.
