Select a pose, then press Play. Front, Side and Back show the same demonstration from different angles. Switching angle keeps your place; selecting another pose starts at zero.
Pause to look closely, drag the timeline, change speed, or select Hold pose to study the middle of the demonstration. Restart returns to the beginning and pauses.
Choose Skeleton, Muscles, Mannequin or Tan figure above the video. Skeleton is the default. Switching character starts the demonstration at zero. They illustrate movement and are not an individual assessment or a precise anatomical simulation. Follow your instructor's adaptations rather than trying to match the figure exactly.
Red identifies expected working groups, amber stabilizers and teal lengthening. The written notes explain roles; they do not measure effort, force or activation. Lengthening does not necessarily mean working.
Download video saves the selected angle as an MP4. The file contains the shared demonstration, not your profile photo or studio branding.

Skeleton and Muscles recordings contain known bone and tissue distortions, especially around the hips in Bridge and Downward Dog. They are illustrative, not anatomically validated. Follow the written guidance and your instructor rather than copying every detail.

General yoga research does not establish a specific health benefit from one pose. The videos are illustrative and have not received independent instructor review.

The Simple figure is a schematic movement illustration.
