- Abstract
Yoga is widely used for improving flexibility, strength, balance, and mental well-being; however, incorrect posture execution can reduce efficacy and increase injury risk. A lightweight, interpretable pose recognition and feedback system is presented that combines MediaPipe Pose landmark extraction with a deep Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) classifier. A curated dataset covering 85 asanas was created and expanded via targeted augmentation to 10,000 examples. The system includes a geometric correction layer that converts landmark configurations into precise alignment suggestions for commodity hardware. Detailed methodology, ablation studies, and deployment guidance are provided to support reproducibility and on-device use. The final model achieves 77.62% accuracy on a stratified test set, with robust performance on distinct poses and remaining confusions among visually similar variants.
