  • Abstract:
  • Yoga is an ancient practice that brings harmony to the body, mind, and spirit through physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation. It is practiced worldwide for its many health benefits, including improved flexibility, increased muscle strength, better posture, stress relief, and enhanced mental well-being. Among the various sequences in yoga, Surya Namaskara, or the Sun Salutation, is particularly significant. This dynamic series consists of twelve linked postures performed in a continuous flow, promoting cardiovascular health, muscle strength, spinal flexibility, and respiratory efficiency. Correct execution of each posture in Surya Namaskara is essential for maximizing these benefits and preventing injuries. Misalignment or improper posture can lead to unnecessary strain on joints, muscles, and ligaments, which may reduce both effectiveness and safety. This research analyzes key body points to monitor posture and ensure accurate alignment during Surya Namaskara. It evaluates joint angles in real time and provides corrective feedback to guide practitioners through smooth pose transitions. By offering instant audio feedback and adapting to user movements, the system helps maintain proper form, enhancing the effectiveness and safety of the practice. Therefore, this research emphasizes the importance of real-time posture detection and correction, which play a critical role in helping practitioners achieve proper form and alignment.
