Show HN: A simple, free yoga practice app for everyone

I have suffered from back problems for many years and the only thing that has really, genuinely helped is Yoga. I built this little app to help remove one more barrier to me practicing everyday.

I hope you get into it, and if you do, you should consider going to some classes. Doing it by yourself in front of a screen is good, but nothing beats the environment of a class with others. It's hard to describe, since you don't really interact with everyone, but there's a certain energy you get - you can stretch a bit farther and relax a bit more deeply. Plus, you may think you're doing things correctly, but a good instructor can spot even the smallest misalignments.

Rather than collate yoga videos with differing levels of accuracy relative to search (the search I just did was pretty inaccurate), why not have some gifs of poses and generate the practice by linking these poses together to mix something based on the user’s chosen level of difficulty, style, and goals?

For my example, I chose “Advanced” and two of the three videos were labelled “Beginner”. The third I did a quick view of and it also looked like a beginner practice. This is an issue generally with yoga videos online - they are predominantly for beginners with somewhat limited Intermediate videos and very rarely Advanced videos. But you could solve this with gifs of different poses linked together on the fly, and generate the exact desired length of practice!

Great! I hope you find find it useful even in a small way. And, as @stronglikedan commented, if you enjoy it, try a in-person class - you get so much more out of it than watching a video :)

take the 'create a new practice' page and put it on the bottom of the homepage.
