Virtual Yoga Teacher With AI Model For Yoga Posture Correction For Good Health

With the advent of preventive and promotive health in the world, driven by the WHO’s Sustainable Development Goal for Healthcare to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all ages it is a necessity to develop Artificial Intelligence driven tools for Yoga. Yoga is the art and science of healthy living and has a history spanning thousands of years. Hence there is genuine need of AI model for Yoga posture correction, to reap the benefits of practice of Yoga. Developing AI models for yoga posture correction has the potential to enhance the experience for yoga followers and acting as a Virtual Yoga teacher. In this study, we are focusing on identification of 10 important yoga poses performed by the user with the help of Pre trained Move Net model and transfer learning. Using such deep learning algorithms, an individual can understand the gap between current and ideal way of performing the specific yoga asana, thus enabling correction in the yoga pose. This process is to be completed in real-time and needs to be interactive necessitating the usage of react.js library. The system analyzes the difference between the actual and ideal yoga pose and landmarks the image of human body while performing the yoga pose with required correction.
