The balance monitoring of yoga using mobile sensing technology

摘要

In the process of yoga practice, keeping one's balance is quite important as excessive sway might cause injuries. Thus, practitioners should select proper actions based on their own basis and physical conditions, while the balance status should be monitored and estimated in time. In this paper, we propose to apply mobile sensing technology in the process of balance monitoring, and to assist practitioners to make proper adjustments so as to prevent conceivable injuries. With its application in real world practice, we believe it will be a great aid and benefit for yoga practitioners, especially the starters and self-practitioners without instructors.
