Problem
Traditional yoga practice relies on subjective feeling and instructor adjustment, making it difficult for practitioners to understand their own alignment and balance. Solo and online yoga sessions lack the real-time feedback needed to correct posture safely, while instructors struggle to monitor student progress and provide personalized guidance at scale.
Solution
yocto develops the yoctoMat, an IoT yoga mat embedded with pressure sensors that visualizes the user's center of gravity in real time, enabling practitioners to understand their body's balance and improve alignment. The mat connects to the yoctoApp, which offers personalized lessons, tracks practice history, and provides AI-driven pose analysis using smartphone cameras. For instructors, the app digitizes studio operations by allowing flexible editing of lesson sequences and management of student information, with the ability to view students' center of gravity during sessions. The system supports safe solo practice, enhances in-studio instruction, and extends the reach of online yoga lessons by providing data-driven feedback that was previously unavailable.
Target Audience
Primary customers are individual yoga practitioners seeking deeper self-awareness and safe home practice, as well as yoga studios and instructors who need digital tools to enhance teaching quality and manage student progress. The yoctoStabiFit app also targets healthcare facilities, elderly care institutions, and fitness clubs for fall-risk and mobility assessment.
