An intelligent Android application that uses computer vision and machine learning to provide real-time yoga pose detection, personalized workout guidance, and social fitness features.

The inspiration for AI Yoga came from the growing need for accessible, personalized fitness guidance that can be used anywhere, anytime. Traditional yoga classes can be expensive, time-consuming, and often require physical presence. We wanted to create a solution that:

• Makes yoga practice accessible to everyone, regardless of location or schedule
• Provides real-time feedback to help users improve their form and technique
• Combines the benefits of social fitness with AI-powered guidance
• Gamifies the yoga experience to increase motivation and consistency
