What is Yoganotch?

Yoganotch is a personal yoga assistant that gives audio feedback on your yoga form when you are practicing at home.

How does it work?

Yoganotch uses a dedicated smartphone app and dime-size precise wearable sensors that analyze the body’s position in 3D in real-time. You wear four of these sensors and practice yoga, picking one of the diverse video yoga classes from professional yoga teachers available in the Yoganotch app. The app provides voice feedback generated by the yoga-centric applied AI engine.

Yoganotch will give me feedback on yoga form?

Yes! Yoganotch would literally advise you to “square your hips” if it senses that your Warrior I alignment could be improved. Then, if you did correct your posture, Yoganotch would right away praise your effort: “That’s better!”. Practitioners describe Yoganotch as “having an invisible teacher” that accompanies you through your yoga journey.

Who is it for?

Yoganotch works for people of all levels and the feedback is focused on safety and it takes a practitioner’s anatomy into account. Beginners can follow the introductory classes, while advanced yogis benefit from Yoganotch interactive yoga journal, that, for the first time, keeps track of not only what asanas they performed, but also provides rich quantitative analysis in the form of graphs, charts, and numbers that follow the progress in performance. The more you practice with Yoganotch, the more precise personalized feedback is developed, that improves your overall Yoganotch-guided practice.

What do people say about it?

“I have been using Yoganotch for the past few months, and it is simply the best solution for those who want to continue (or begin) their yoga practice under the pandemic lockdown when yoga studio or gym is not available anymore.“ Audrey Emu, Yoganotch practitioner

“I’m thrilled to partner with an innovative company like YogaNotch to bring safer, more efficient yoga into people’s homes. As a Physical Therapist and creator of LYT Yoga, I know how much feedback helps yoga practitioners. This collaboration is the next level of smart yoga”, Lara Heimann, LYT Yoga founder, Yoganotch teacher.

“I can see how this will help my body awareness, muscular activation, postural alignment, neuromuscular education, and my overall practice. As a physical therapist and yoga teacher, I’ve been waiting for something like this”. Jhoanna Rae, Yoganotch practitioner

We announced Yoganotch at CES-2020. Here is what the journalists who saw it said about it: ‘Personal pick’ (Wired), one of CES ‘best tech products’ (Yahoo), and ‘remarkable invention’ (Smithsonian Magazine).

Who made Yoganotch?

Yoganotch is created by Notch Interfaces, a New York company, and it is based on Wearnotch — the company’s clinically precise motion analysis technology, used by thousands of researchers, developers, and athletes from the world’s top universities, Fortune-500 companies, and major league teams. Yoganotch is our first consumer application, that opens up the yoga market to high-tech products that go beyond simple video streaming and help people get access to personalized instruction on how to maintain and improve their physical and mental health in the changing social environment.

Description

Your personal yoga assistant that gives audio feedback on your yoga form, when you practice yoga at home

BEYOND SIMPLE VIDEO CLASSES

Yoganotch takes app-based yoga practice beyond the simple yoga videos. As your personal yoga assistant Yoganotch not only guides you through the practice but also gives you live feedback on your yoga form. For example, Yoganotch would literally advise you to “square your hips” if it senses that your “Warrior I” alignment could be improved, and if you did correct your posture, it would notice that too.

SENSOR-POWERED YOGA

Unlock the full potential of Yoganotch by connecting the Yoganotch app to Notch sensors. Notch sensors or “notches” are tiny high-precision motion sensors that can analyze your body’s position in real-time as you practice yoga. Notch sensors are used by some of the world’s top sports and healthcare organizations.

YOUR PERSONAL YOGA TIMELINE

Observe your personal Yoga Timeline that gets populated every time you practice with Yoganotch. See how you improve from one practice to another and explore the details on a per-asana level.
