She has been a firm believer of making exercising routine a fun filled experience. Keeping in mind she chalked out the innovative dance yoga form. Madhuri feels that this will entertain as well as help in keeping the user fit. The app will make it convenient for the user to learn and understand dance yoga better.

DWM not just teaches various dance forms but also disseminates knowledge on ancient Indian culture. The app consists of various sections, such as 'Move', 'Power Yoga' and 'Dance Yoga'.

Dance Yoga is a fusion of the Indian classical dance forms with a few yoga asanas. Madhuri has specially conceived sequences which involve bharatanatyam mixed with simple asanas to make it user friendly.
Noted bharatanatyam master Namita Bodaji has helped in designing courses specific to individual requirements.
Madhuri has been well known for leading a strict regime and following a disciplined routine to keep fit. Dancing has been one of the most important ways of keep her mind and body alert. In her hey days, despite being busy with shooting, she would never forget to take out time for yoga.
The dance yoga app, says Madhuri, will help users "stay focused and shapely."
