As the final project for my Yoga Teacher Training, Jack and I created an iPhone and iPad app called YogiAssistant. It has a collections of over 100 Yoga poses, which are categorized in 7 general groups, and it enables the Yoga instructors or practitioners to create Yoga practices and share (sync) them with others via Bluetooth.
It is actually quite brilliant, and it only costs the price of a cup of coffee. It is by far the most complete, versatile and practical Yoga app I have ever used. Of course, I am biased. :)
When you take a Yoga private lesson, your instructor will help you sequence some poses as your daily practice based on your personal need. The poses are drawn in stick figures on a piece of paper, so you take it home to practice accordingly. With YogiAssistant, the Yoga instructor can sequence the practice by selecting the poses from the pose library, put them in the right order including how long a pose should be held, then send the practice to the student via the iPhone/iPad bluetooth. The student can play the practice like a webcast and follow it to practice the poses.
Personally I use YogiAssistant to sequence Yoga classes and my own personal practices, and it is handy as it has all of the poses at my finger tip.
It took us 4 months to develop the app, which overlaps with my teacher training. Yes, I'm very tired and still have a neck pain, but this is certainly the bright side of the story.
Here is more information about the app. I hope you'll like it as much as I do!
