YOGA POSE DETECTION AND CORRECTION

Abstract

Yoga is a very beneficial physical activity and has wide applications in personal care. Many studies have shown that yoga can be used as physical therapy for many health problems such as cancer, musculoskeletal diseases, depression, Parkinson's disease, respiratory and heart disease and more. In yoga, it is important to keep the body in good shape; To achieve good posture, a lot of work needs to be done on the muscles, ligaments and joints. Posture-based yoga can improve flexibility, strength, and mental activity and reduce stress, blood pressure, and back pain. Correct posture is important to prevent strain on the joints, ligaments and spine in yoga asanas, especially when bending forward or backward in poses such as uttanasana, kurtasana, ustrasana and dhanurasana. It is important to pay attention to the postural relationship of your body so that you can hold the body correctly while doing different asanas. Advances in computer vision algorithms and sensors have made it possible to predict yoga poses and identify movements. Therefore, practitioners can now use technology to enhance their yoga practice and achieve better results. This article shows a way to analyze yoga poses performed by the user and correct them instantly.
