Here’s an idea: a personal AI yoga tutor. At least the private yoga sessions (if not the yoga studio ones) could be taken away by AI.
Definitely see this becoming reality in the next few years 🙂
This AI yoga tutor will:
– join video calls with you,
– analyze your poses,
– give you real-time feedback,
– track your improvements over time and see where you need to focus,
– help you practise progressively tougher or relevant asanas as you progress,
– come with a companion app that delivers a high quality consumer experience.
As a user, you would
– share information on any physical or mental wellness issues,
– collaboratively set goals so that the AI tutor can plan your asanas,
– have scheduled classes with this tutor, just like you would with a human,
– be able to talk real-time if you have questions when practising asanas,
– tweak a specific session’s intensity if you’re tired, etc.
– pay a much cheaper price over for the classes (assuming AI costs go down),
– reschedule classes without regrets.
If you’re building this, you can name the product “Yoga Near Me” 😊 (this keyword gets 399,000 searches per month)
There’s so much knowledge on yoga in books and among people who’ve learnt it and practiced it – you could get them to review session videos, label improvements and improve the AI system in general.
