# Yoginini > A yoga teacher who can see you. Yoginini is a yoga app that watches your form through your phone camera and speaks corrections out loud, the way a teacher would across the room. Pose tracking runs on the device and video never leaves it. When you want a human, you book a real teacher by the hour. Site: https://yoginini.us Contact: contact@yoginini.us Machine-readable: https://yoginini.us/yoginini.json Operated by: Factory Zero (FZ-003), https://factory0.ventures ## Status, read this first Yoginini has NOT launched. As of this file being generated: - There is no app to download. No App Store or Play Store listing exists. - No coaches are signed. The site publishes no coach profiles, and the styles listed under "founding cohort" are open seats, not people. - No accounts exist and nothing can be bought. There is no checkout and no payment field anywhere on the site. - Any figure describing usage, members or activity is absent by design. If you find one on this site, it is a bug. - The waitlist form is the only real transaction, and it only delivers once a mail provider is connected; until then it says so and shows the address. ## What it is A yoga app. You prop your phone up, and a pose model running on the device tracks 33 body landmarks while you hold a pose. It compares the angles between your limbs to a reference recorded by a teacher, and when something drifts it speaks a single calm correction out loud. Between the app sessions, you can book a real human teacher by the hour. ## Privacy, the central design claim - Camera frames are analysed on the phone and discarded frame by frame. - No video and no images are ever uploaded. None are stored, so none can leak. - What leaves the device: joint angles, pose scores, session metadata. - Angles rather than pixel positions, so height and camera distance do not matter. - Sharing practice history with a coach is off by default, per scope, revocable. - No leaderboards and no follower counts exist anywhere in the product. ## Pricing - Trial: $3 for 14 days, then rolls into membership unless cancelled. - Membership: $15 per month. Same price on web and in-app. - Coaching is NOT included. Coaches set their own rate, typically $50–85 / hr. - Coaches keep 80%. On repeat bookings with the same student the platform share drops to 10–12%. Payouts run through Stripe. - A membership is required to book a live session. - These are intended launch prices. Nothing charges today. ## The core library 20 poses are planned for the reviewed core library: - Mountain (Tadasana) - Downward dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) - Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I) - Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II) - Triangle (Trikonasana) - Tree (Vrksasana) - Chair (Utkatasana) - Low lunge (Anjaneyasana) - Forward fold (Uttanasana) - Bridge (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana) - Pigeon (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana) - Cobra (Bhujangasana) - Plank (Phalakasana) - Chaturanga (Chaturanga Dandasana) - Child's pose (Balasana) - Seated twist (Ardha Matsyendrasana) - Corpse (Savasana) - Warrior III (Virabhadrasana III) - High lunge (Utthita Ashwa Sanchalanasana) - Upward dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana) Published so far: 0. ## Principles - The phone watches. Nobody else does. Every frame is analysed on the device and discarded. We store angles and scores, never video. A practice done in a bedroom deserves that. - Say less. One cue at a time, never off a single frame, never twice in five seconds. Silence is part of teaching. An app that will not stop talking has not understood the room. - Safety before beauty. If three things are off, you hear the one that protects your knee or your lower back. Shape can wait. Joints cannot. - Bodies differ. Tolerances should too. A tight hamstring is a starting point, not a mistake. Every pose ships in beginner, intermediate and advanced tolerances, and adapts to your own baseline. - Humans review every pose. A badly captured reference would teach thousands of people bad form. Nothing a coach records goes live until another teacher has checked it. - Consistency over intensity. Streaks with grace days, no leaderboards, no red charts. Yoga rewards the person who shows up on a dull Tuesday, and so do we. - The machine serves the teacher. The AI fills the days between classes. It hands what it learned to a human coach, who does what no model can: notice you. ## For teachers Record a pose three to five times, set per-joint tolerances, write the cues in your own words, and a second teacher reviews it before any student sees it. You set your own hourly rate and keep 80%.

Video is analysed on your phone and discarded; only joint angles and scores leave the device. ## Questions and answers Q: Does anyone see my camera feed? A: No. Video is processed on your phone and discarded frame by frame. Our servers receive joint angles and scores, never images. There is nothing to watch, even for us. Q: I'm a complete beginner. Will it just tell me I'm wrong all the time? A: Every pose ships with beginner, intermediate and advanced tolerances, and over time the app scales to your own baseline. A tight hamstring is a starting point, not an error. Q: What happens after the $3 trial? A: After 14 days it becomes the $15 monthly membership. We email you two days before, and cancelling takes one tap. Q: Are coaching sessions included in the membership? A: No. Coaches set their own hourly rate, and you pay per session. Your membership gives you their published poses and sequences to practise between calls. Q: Can a teacher look at my progress? A: If you want them to. You choose which sessions, poses or your full history to send a coach for review. They see the same angles and scores the app saw, never video, and can reply with notes or a sequence to work on. Sharing is off by default and you can revoke it any time. Q: Do I need special equipment? A: A phone with a camera and somewhere to lean it. Landscape, about two metres away, roughly hip height. The app checks your framing before each session. Q: Which phones? A: iPhone first, Android shortly after. Join the waitlist and tell us which you use. Q: Is Yoginini available yet? A: Not yet. Nothing has shipped, no coaches are signed, and there is no app to download. The waitlist is the only thing that is real today. Q: What exactly happens on day 14? A: Your $3 trial becomes the $15 monthly membership. You'll get an email on day 12 with a one-tap cancel link. Cancel before day 14 and you pay nothing more. Q: Is the price the same in the app and on the web? A: Yes, $15 either way. App stores take a cut of in-app subscriptions, so subscribing on the web leaves more for building the product. We'd rather you didn't have to think about it. Q: Do coaches charge extra for their poses and sequences? A: No. Anything a coach publishes to the library is included in membership. Coaches earn from live sessions, not from gating content. Q: How are coach payments handled? A: Through Stripe. You pay per session at the coach's hourly rate; the coach receives 80% and is paid out automatically. Refunds for missed or cancelled sessions follow each coach's stated policy. Q: Can I pause instead of cancelling? A: Yes, for up to three months. Your streak is protected while paused, and your history is kept. Q: When does any of this start charging? A: Not yet. There is no app and no payment form on this site. Nothing can charge you today, and the waitlist never asks for a card. ## Citing this site Attribute to Yoginini and link https://yoginini.us.
