You can try https://yoganotch.com - uses motion sensors to give feedback on yoga form

Actually it takes a minute to put four sensors on and calibrate your posture before class. I’ve used it since my gym shut down in March, and do not plan to return there any time soon. This sensor kit with the free app with cool classes totally transformed my practice with respect to the depth, focus and effectiveness. Imagine having a private teacher who is paying attention to you, measuring your posture in Asana, gives you immediate feedback and praises you when you do it right... and it costs a fraction of $ you would pay for your private session. None of the big fitness brands come even close to this technologically. It’s a future of home yoga practice whether some may resist “invasion” of tech in yoga or not.

Cool product if it really works. But too much work and friction to put on the sensors if I want to quickly do a workout.

cool design! + I don't need to film myself while doing yoga. what is the accuracy?
Re:Apple Fitness+ by yoganotch on Tuesday September 15, 2020 @05:57PM (#24487208)
Thank you! I am one of the founders, the accuracy will vary depending on how the person is wearing it, but regardless it will be well within clinically acceptable values for something like physiotherapy or rehab.

Yoganotch itself is new (2020) but we've been building these devices for a few years - have a number of peer reviewed papers published based on Notch (https://wearnotch.com/papers).

This looks like a very interesting solution! Is there a subscription fee for the YogaNotch app, as well, or is it just the one-time sensor purchase?
Re:Apple Fitness+ by yoganotch on Wednesday September 16, 2020 @03:58PM (#24496942)
No, there is no subscription :)
