Both aim at the same person: an adult who sits a lot, wakes up stiff and wants to move better without a long workout. The difference is how they get you there. Pliability is an app you subscribe to. Move Better is a program you finish.

Where Pliability is the better choice
- You like variety and want a library you can dip into for different body areas.
- You want routines tailored to your goals and the app to keep adjusting them.
- You are fine with a monthly or yearly subscription and will use it for a long time.
Want a program you finish instead of an app you keep? The 7-Day Move Better Reset is 7 short sessions, 10 to 15 minutes a day, and session 1 is free with a free account.
Try session 1 freeSee the full 8-week programWhere Move Better is the better choice
- You have started and stopped mobility routines before and need one clear thing to do each day.
- You do not want to think about what to work on today.
- You want to know when it ends and what you will have built by then.
- You would rather pay once than keep a subscription going.
- You are over 40 and want a program written for stiff mornings and long hours at a desk.
What a program does that an app library does not
You do not decide what to work on
With a library, every morning starts with a choice: which body area, which length, which teacher. Move Better removes that choice. The program is progressive and works through the whole body in order, so you open today's session and press play. The benefit is not more content. It is fewer decisions on the days you least feel like deciding.
It is not personalised, and it is not generic either
Move Better does not build a plan around you. It is designed for general stiffness, the kind that comes from sitting a lot and not moving enough, and it is built from feedback gathered over 1000+ live classes. That is what the sequence and the pacing are based on.
It adapts to your level and you can repeat it
The sessions work for beginners and for people who are already active, and you can do the whole program several times. Because you do the same sessions with a body that has changed, it stays varied.
A tracker and weekly reminders are built in
Inside the program there is a tracker for your stiffness, your energy and your habits, so you can see what is changing, not just what you watched. A weekly reminder helps you remember to come back and keep going.
A teacher, if you want one
The sessions are pre-recorded, but Stéphanie is available on request for online private sessions if you want your form checked or a plan around an injury. See private yoga or get in touch.
What Move Better students say about the rhythm
"Finally getting back into a stretching rhythm after wanting to for years!"
"It’s very good for getting into a rhythm and working on the mobility."
What it costs over a year
A subscription costs about the same every month for as long as you use it, around $180 a year at the listed yearly price. Move Better is our limited-time offer price once, and you keep access. The honest caveat: Pliability gives you far more content to keep using after the first eight weeks, while Move Better is one program with a start and an end, which you can repeat.
What Move Better does not do
It does not build a plan around you, and the sessions are pre-recorded, so nobody watches your form unless you book a private session. If you have pain or an injury, see a physiotherapist first.
Before you start
If you have joint pain, a recent injury, osteoporosis, a heart condition or you have not exercised for a long time, check with your doctor or a physiotherapist before starting a new routine, whichever option you choose.
