Ever wondered if you’re training correctly when you practice with your favorite YouTube coach? Try Praxis and get a self view (no more missing mirrors at the gym!) with Skeleton Overlays that track your movements and show you your alignments in real time.
?makers this is super helpful! This was the single biggest problem for the YouTube workout videos. Was always worried if my posture was correct or not, and nobody to give feedback :(
Love those green lines tracking the movement 🤖
@adityavsc Spot on, Aditya! Over the last year of building solutions for at-home fitness, we constantly heard from our users how they missed having a teacher tell them more about their form. And voila! With Praxis we give you posture awareness with the green line tracking your movements. In our next release we will be going deeper into posture correction (but shhhh, more on that later!)
@adityavsc Thanks Aditya, Praxis was very much born out of my personal frustrations too.... never knowing if I was doing the right thing with YouTube - sometimes getting injured in the process ...now I am addicted to it - works well for yoga, weight training, resistance band workouts, pilates and my friends tell me even for dance lessons! :)
@valeriykozlov2 spot on, Valeriy, it's doing motion tracking very similar to the good ol' Kinect, but without the need for specialised hardware! We run our computer vision ML on your laptop or phone's camera feed to build a 2D Skeleton structure based of a set of joints (keypoints) like ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and limb orientations.
The app currently works best on a laptop with Chrome browser, and the browser can easily be casted on your connected smart TV (in fact that's how a bunch of our users currently use it). Bigger screens are definitely better here, and we plan to explore building native smart TV in the future.
@radhika_dimri@valeriykozlov2 for now, the users aren't complaining much on casting but surely it's in pipeline to build, thanks for checking out and your ideas, appreciated!
Hi hunters, Radhika from Breathe Happy here. SO excited to launch our AI assistant for YouTube workouts today - introducing PRAXIS!
No more passively following a workout video at home - with just the camera on your laptop, our AI tracks your key joints in the body and shows your your alignment in real time! See yourself practice next to your favourite YouTube coach and power up your workouts 🙌
@alex_terentiev Love your line of thinking, Alex, and thanks for the shoutout! Currently the skeleton is shown on your own video - we ran multiple user tests showing skeletons on both the trainer and your own video, and the majority of our beta users felt seeing two skeletons became a tad bit overwhelming to follow along. Both skeleton structures can look quite varied given multiple camera angles in YouTube videos, difference in level of practitioners etc. We've explored building a comparison models for exactly this next.
Every day some new app or tech comes out and they manage to find all these new ways of using AI to enhance our daily activities, making things a bit better one step at a time. This may very well be one of those apps.
Congratulations on the launch!
Totally agree on the power of AI to make deep positive impact on everyday live @xgrv, glad you see Praxis in that list!

Just tried it out with a Pilates and a Yoga video....amazing user experience and my workout was 10 times better than just following along on youtube. The guide lines are a nice touch too...appeals to the perfectionist in me!
Would love to see this integrated soon with other video platforms!
All the best ?makers
Thanks @natman! Integrating with other video platforms like IG TV and Facebook is in our pipeline - stay tuned 👀
Report
As a new but hungry to improve yogi, I deeply appreciate the importance of proper alignment in my practice. How I wish I had this product when I started doing yoga at home in the beginning of the lockdown! Praxis has now become the starting point of all my online practice. I prefer casting it on my TV and I continually find myself correcting my posture looking at the green overlays. Highly recommended!
