Questions & Answers
1. How can this app be used in yoga practice?
We suggest trying the following scenario:
Get recommendations from your yoga instructor on the correct execution of the poses you're interested in. Ask your instructor to review and, if necessary, adjust your pose, then take a photo of it. Add this photo as a reference image to the pose library in the app. When practicing at home, use the app's camera feature to replicate the pose exactly as your instructor set it for you.

You can use the app's camera functionality on your phone, which allows you to:

3. What recommendations would you give for using this app?
By following these recommendations, you will ensure the most accurate analysis of your poses and receive more effective personalized advice for improving your practice. This will help you progress faster and achieve better results in your yoga sessions.
Additional Tips:
- Camera Stability: Use a tripod or a stable surface to set up your phone, avoiding image blurring caused by movement.
- Clothing: Wear form-fitting or contrasting clothing that clearly outlines your body, helping the app analyze your pose more accurately.
- Background: Choose a simple, uniform background without unnecessary details to ensure the app can easily distinguish you from your surroundings.
- Avoid Shadows: Ensure that harsh shadows do not fall on your body, as they may distort the perception of your pose.
- Body Position: Fully assume the pose and hold it steady for a few seconds to ensure a quality capture.
Comparison with the Reference Pose:
- Similar Angles: Try to position the phone so that the angle of your pose matches the angle of the reference pose as closely as possible. This will facilitate accurate comparison and analysis.
- Camera Placement: Place the camera at a level corresponding to the reference pose (e.g., waist, chest, or eye level), depending on the angle shown in the reference image.
- Distance from the Camera: Stand at a distance where your entire figure fits within the frame, ensuring that your body proportions match those in the reference image.
General Recommendations:
- Good Lighting: Ensure that the room where you practice is well-lit. Natural daylight or bright artificial lighting will help the app better analyze your pose.
- Clear Visibility of the Pose: Before capturing a photo, make sure your entire pose is visible in the frame from head to toe. Avoid obstacles or objects that might block parts of your body.
- Image Quality: Use a high-resolution camera and ensure the image is not blurry. A clean camera lens will also enhance the quality of the photo.
4. Can the app replace a personal yoga instructor?
The app is intended to enhance your yoga practice by offering personalized recommendations. However, it is not a substitute for the guidance of an experienced instructor, particularly for beginners or when practicing advanced poses. We suggest using the app alongside sessions led by a professional for the best results.
5. Who is responsible for deciding whether to follow or not follow the corrections and recommendations provided by the app?
According to the terms of use of our app, you are fully responsible for deciding whether to follow or not follow the corrections and recommendations provided by the app. The app offers advice based on the analysis of your poses using artificial intelligence technologies. However, the final decision to accept these recommendations is yours.
We emphasize the importance of mindful app usage, considering its technological limitations. Use it to support your practice, but always rely on professional guidance and your own intuition to ensure safety and effectiveness. Your health and safety are your personal responsibility, and you should make informed decisions based on your individual needs and, if necessary, consult a professional yoga instructor or a doctor.

6. Why might the app make errors in recognizing body parts and their alignment?
The current level of artificial intelligence technology development does not completely eliminate errors in recognizing key body parts and their alignment. Factors such as lighting, camera angle, clothing, and individual body features can significantly affect the accuracy of the analysis.
