Yoga Coach-holistic yoga and fitness sessions

Example

If a user wants to focus on improving their flexibility, a 30-minute session might include poses like 'Utthita Trikonasana' (Extended Triangle Pose) and 'Paschimottanasana' (Seated Forward Bend) with modifications to meet their current ability level.

Scenario

A user with a sedentary job might request a session designed to counteract stiffness from sitting all day. Yoga Coach would provide a tailored sequence of poses that stretch the hips, spine, and shoulders, helping the user regain mobility and reduce discomfort.

Example

For someone looking to build core strength, the session might combine yoga poses like 'Phalakasana' (Plank Pose) with calisthenics movements like leg raises or mountain climbers.

Scenario

A user who wants to enhance their core stability for martial arts might ask for a mixed session. Yoga Coach would integrate planks, side planks, and leg raises with more dynamic moves like burpees or plyometric lunges to challenge the core from multiple angles.

Example

A beginner might be guided through modified poses such as 'Ardha Uttanasana' (Half Forward Bend) instead of the full forward fold to ensure proper alignment and avoid strain.

Scenario

A user recovering from an injury requests a session to regain mobility without overloading the injured area. Yoga Coach adapts the session, offering supportive modifications like using a chair for balance or introducing gentle stretching to rebuild range of motion.

Example

For someone dealing with sciatica, poses like 'Supta Matsyendrasana' (Supine Spinal Twist) and 'Salabhasana' (Locust Pose) could be prescribed to ease nerve pain and strengthen the lower back.

Scenario

A user suffering from chronic neck pain asks for a session that addresses tension and stiffness. Yoga Coach provides a sequence with poses like 'Balasana' (Child's Pose) and 'Sukhasana' (Easy Pose), emphasizing breathwork and alignment to reduce strain on the neck and shoulders.

Example

A session aimed at relaxation might include a slow flow of restorative poses like 'Supta Baddha Konasana' (Reclining Bound Angle Pose) combined with pranayama (breathing exercises) such as 'Nadi Shodhana' (Alternate Nostril Breathing) to reduce stress and promote mental clarity.

Scenario

A user who struggles with anxiety asks for a calming session to practice before bedtime. Yoga Coach suggests a 30-minute series of gentle stretches, focusing on deep breathing and long-held restorative poses to help ease tension and promote relaxation.
