Why should I get PIVOT Yoga? If you've ever wanted to practice yoga at home, or been frustrated by the lack of feedback in your home practice, then PIVOT Yoga is for you. Home practice has so many advantages--it's convenient, economical, and for many of us is simply the only viable way to practice yoga given our crazy schedules. And there's a wealth of home video instruction to choose from. But form matters.
• Clothes. Our truly intelligent clothes are embedded with tiny sensors that can measure your slightest movements. Yet they look and wash like ordinary high-end yoga clothes. • Teachers. Our teachers practice many different kinds of yoga and lead you through the sequence, much as you might expect from any ordinary online video. Like any other class, they point out where to breathe, how to transition, the internal dynamics of poses to focus on, and modifications. • App.
What info do you store about me? In our system, which includes data stored on your device and in our cloud, we do store some things that are essential to providing you the service. Mainly what we store is what we call "metadata" about your practice. That is, we store the angles that each of your major limbs showed during the best moment of each pose, where "best" means closest to the teacher's pose. This, for example, is how we enable the "Now & Then" feature inside the Performance part of the app.
PIVOT Yoga is a natural fit for Hatha, Iyengar, and Vinyasa styles. Frankly, any style that you can do at home and where it would be helpful to have your body visualized on a screen would make sense. Forms of hot yoga, however, are probably not a good fit, mainly because most people simply can't do them at home, and also because our clothes are designed to be used at room temperature Can I use the clothes without the app? You certainly can.
there is one in the pants and one in the shirt. The one in the pants communicates only with the one in the shirt, over quite a short distance, and the one in the shirt communicates with the app, which could be across the room. So in effect, only the shirt is emitting significant energy at all. And even then, it's much less than other typical consumer devices (see Exhibit A below) Exhibit A.

body. In general, follow your teacher's advice during each PIVOT Yoga class, use common sense, take it easy, and you should be fine. There are some kinds of yoga poses--namely, headstands--that have been shown to have more serious physical injury risk. We advise that those be done in the presence of a teacher who can intervene if she sees something developing that could be immediately dangerous. Poses like this aren't a good fit for PIVOT Yoga and won't be featured in classes from our teachers.
avatar will move. That way, you’ll be able to quickly checkthe screen and make sure that you’re keeping up. And of course if you do fall behind, with PIVOT you can simply ask the teacher to pause Step 5 Ask for Feedback When you want feedback on a pose, or even to get a chance to analyze it in more detail, ask your teacher “How’s this look?” We’ll bring au a comparison view and the teacher will tell you how to adjust your pose, one correction at a time.
How to put on your clothes The clothes are worn pretty much like any other yoga clothes. The main difference is that it's good to avoid twisting them when you put them on. See below for more tips.
How to display PIVOT Yoga on your TV Want to show PIVOT Yoga on a larger, easier-to-see screen than your phone? We totally understand. There are two easy ways to do this: 1. Connect your phone with an HDMI dongle to your TV, if it has an HDMI port (Most new ones do). The official Apple HDMI to Lightning connector works well, though less expensive options are plentiful. They even make them with an extra built-in connection to usb for power. 2.
• Resume Playback. When you're ready to get back to the class, either because you asked your teacher to Wait a Sec or because you asked here "How's This Look?" • How's This Look? We're not judging. PIVOT Yoga will never offer feedback unless you ask for it. But if you don't ask for it, by saying "How's This Look", PIVOT Yoga will take you out of the class and into a mode that directly compares your pose to the teacher's. At that point the teacher will automagically suggest an alignment change, if needed.
Calibration mistakes to avoid The most important thing to understand about calibration is that you get out it what you put into it. That is, the more closely you follow the instructions, the more accurate your avatar will be. Some highlights at each step: • Easy Pose. When we advise you to close your eyes and hold your breath, we do so because we've found that the helps most people be completely still. Tempting as it might be, talking out loud here (or even a few "om's") is probably not a good idea.
Can I wash these clothes in the washing machine? Generally, yes, so long as you wash them on the Cold cycle. For most machines, that's less than 80 degrees F (27 degrees Celsius). Certain high-heat wash cycles (say, a "sanitary" cycle or a cycle for bright whites) could cause the clothes to shut down, and at Warm temperatures (over 80 degrees F) there's a chance you could cause some unsightly wrinkling. So we strongly recommend you wash them in cold. Can I put these clothes in the dryer? To be blunt, no.
Troubleshooting Something not working? Voice control doesn't seem to be working. What do I do? First, check your background noise level. If other people are talking while you are issuing a voice command, it's quite possible that PIVOT won't hear you properly. Assuming that's not the problem, the next issue to think about is the quality of your voice registration itself. Before your first class, you must register your voice with PIVOT Yoga.
First, try turning your Wi-Fi off and then on again. Every now and then a little digital kick in the tires helps. If that doesn't work, the next most likely explanation is that that batteries on your clothes have completely run down. The easiest way to test this is to charge your clothes. If you insert the charging cable properly, and plug the charging unit into your wall socket, you should immediately a blinking orange light next to where you the plug goes into the clothes.
