Abstract

Yoga is a mind-body practice combining physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation forimproved health and relaxation. It enhances flexibility, strength, and mental clarity, promoting overall well-being. A system for real time monitoring of body parameters during Yoga practice doesnot exist. Hence we have proposed a prototype for measuring body parameters. The smart yoga matrepresents a novel advancement in fitness technology, aiming to enrich yoga practice by combiningsensor-based monitoring with real-time feedback and digital guidance. By integrating advanced sensors, including pressure sensors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes, the smart yoga mat can detect subtle shifts in position, balance, and body pressure applied at various points on the mat. This smart yoga mat system ultimately offers a new paradigm for fitness and wellness devices by combining real-time body monitoring with user-centric app interfaces and data analysis. The incorporation of cloud storage for session data enables users to access and review theirpractice history across devices, reinforcing continuity and progress in their fitness journey. With applications extending beyond yoga to potentially include other forms of floor-based fitnessactivities, the smart yoga mat is poised to become an indispensable tool for individuals dedicated toimproving their physical health and mindfulness.
