Yoga by Numbers
a yoga video iPad app
Problem
Yoga by Numbers is a system for learning and practicing yoga on your own terms and the yoga mat features circles that help with alignment. They reached out to us to make an iPad app that would serve as a companion to the mat and provide accessible video content.
Approach
Since the target audience consists of people who are new to yoga, we focused on personalized recommendations, customization, and learning.

Recommended videos
The main screen of the app shows three recommended yoga sessions for the user that are based on their primary reason for doing yoga, which is selected during onboarding.
App flow
We wrote user stories, then mapped out how the user would go through the app and access different features.
Wireframe sketches
Initial sketches to figure out how to organize video content and levels.
Wireframes
The design process started with low-fidelity wireframes so that we, and the client, could focus on functionality and user experience first.
Activity screen mockup
The user, as well as their healthcare provider, can use the activity screen to see what and when sessions have been completed as well as how the user felt.
Session screen mockup
To provide more information for the user, dictionary and in-depth pose video annotations will appear as the video plays.
