# Smriti — market study

The competition, the opportunity, and the direction of personal practice.

23 September 2026

## Where Smriti adds value

**Smriti’s proposed value is continuity: remembering the person well enough to make the next practice more suitable.** That means adapting sequences, cues, pacing, and progression using their history, preferences, goals, and how they feel now.

The market already overlaps all three pillars:

- **Create:** Cue, KramaFlow, and FLOW combine AI generation with editing. [Cue](https://cueyoga.com/) · [KramaFlow](https://www.kramaflow.com/) · [FLOW](https://www.yoga-sequencing.com/ai-yoga-sequence-builder)
- **Remember:** Sequence Wiz connects student records to practice plans. Skill Yoga advertises feedback-adjusted plans; Glo describes personalisation using journals, voice notes, and history. [Sequence Wiz](https://home.sequencewiz.com/organize-your-records/) · [Skill Yoga](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skill-yoga-train-mind-body/id1462051533) · [Glo disclosures](https://www.glo.com/legal/terms-of-use-and-conditions)
- **Guide:** Pliability turns everyday requests into guided sessions. Amrap advertises spoken interaction during workouts; ThirdEye is an emerging yoga camera-and-voice product. [Pliability](https://support.pliability.com/en/articles/15787801-how-does-sessions-stretch-ai-work) · [Amrap](https://www.amrap.ai/) · [ThirdEye project](https://www.xaop.com/projects/thirdeye/)

**The opportunity is meaningful, but the business case remains unproven.** Smriti needs to show that its understanding makes practices more suitable, reduces repeated explanation, and gives people a reason to return and pay. Competitor features alone cannot establish that.

For example, “I feel tired this time” may be temporary. Repeated comments that transitions feel rushed may reveal a lasting preference. Smriti’s intended value is to make that distinction accurately, let the practitioner correct it, and use it appropriately. This is a proposed experience, not a measured outcome.

Both beginners and experienced practitioners can benefit from personal guidance. The test is whether they prefer the resulting practice and find giving feedback worthwhile.

## The closest competition

Our assessment depends on which part of the experience is being compared:

- **Creation and editing — Cue, Tummee, KramaFlow, and FLOW.** Compare usable sequence quality, teaching controls, and how well revisions preserve intent.
- **Personal continuity — Sequence Wiz and Tummee.** Their student records make them relevant beyond sequence planning, although a teacher manages the documented workflow.
- **Practitioner adaptation — Glo, Skill Yoga, and Down Dog.** Prioritise Glo’s disclosed personalisation for inspection; compare Skill Yoga’s advertised feedback adjustments and Down Dog’s retained preferences.
- **Request-to-guided-practice — Pliability.** Its documented custom sessions overlap directly with describing a need and receiving a practice to follow.
- **Responsive teaching — Amrap, ThirdEye, and Kova.** Distinguish Amrap’s adjacent fitness offer from ThirdEye’s beta and Kova’s announced experience.
- **Individual attention — human teachers.** Listening, explanation, and trusted judgment remain important alternatives.

These assessments follow the product evidence linked in the detailed comparisons below. **Smriti needs to demonstrate better continuity in use; memory cannot be treated as an uncontested feature.**

## What other apps are doing

The comparisons distinguish documented features, advertised capabilities, and open questions. They describe the products’ public information; they are not hands-on quality ratings. An undocumented feature is not necessarily absent.

### Create: sequence planning and editing

| Product | What it offers | Relevance to Smriti |
|---|---|---|
| **Cue** | AI drafts and targeted revisions, manual editing, teaching mode, timing, cues, and post-class reflection. [Product](https://cueyoga.com/) | A close comparison for the complete planning workflow. Automatic use of reflections to adapt an individual’s future practice is unverified. |
| **Tummee** | Extensive pose variations, editable cues, breaths and duration, multi-pose editing, and presentation controls. It also advertises student profiles and progress tracking. [Builder](https://www.tummee.com/yoga-sequence-builder/product-tour/create-new-sequences) · [Features](https://www.tummee.com/yoga-sequence-builder/pricing) | Overlaps both creation and memory. The depth of student records and their connection to later suggestions need testing. |
| **Flow Builder** | Text import, voice-to-sequence, sections, timing, and spoken playback. Pose to Flow advertises camera-based pose capture and alignment feedback. [Product](https://flowbuilder.yoga/) | Voice import is beta; Pose to Flow is alpha. Capture accuracy and use of earlier practice data remain untested. |
| **KramaFlow** | Separates teacher notes from AI notes, previews additions, and preserves manual work during further AI enrichment. [Product](https://www.kramaflow.com/) | A useful reference for controllable edits. Preserving author notes does not establish learning about a practitioner. |
| **FLOW** | Full AI drafts, next-pose suggestions, pose swaps, sides, holds, breaths, and continuously updated class duration. [AI builder](https://www.yoga-sequencing.com/ai-yoga-sequence-builder) | A direct generation-and-editing benchmark. Full drafts require Pro; long-term practitioner adaptation is unverified. |
| **YOGANARY** | Descriptive pose search, generated sequences, editable cue scripts, spoken playback, and practice records. [Developer listing](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/yoganary-2400-yoga-poses/id6756177355) | History goes beyond favourites. Whether it changes later practices is unverified; teaching quality still needs assessment. |
| **Sequence Wiz** | Custom pose drawings, reusable rows, personalised handouts, student records, and a student portal. [Builder](https://home.sequencewiz.com/design-effective-yoga-sequences-with-yoga-sequence-builder/) · [Portal](https://home.sequencewiz.com/student-portal/) | An important reference for connecting a person’s context to their practice. Its documented planning workflow is teacher-managed. |
| **Pocket Yoga Teacher** | Manual sequencing, repeats, pose timing, next-pose suggestions, and narrated rehearsal. [Product](https://www.pocketyoga.com/apps/pocket-yoga-teacher/) | A clear authoring-to-playback workflow. Apple platforms only; editable practice files require the app, while PDFs can be shared more broadly. [Support](https://www.pocketyoga.com/support/pocket-yoga-teacher/) |
| **SVEJAR** | Illustrated variations, mirroring, folders, timing, and a Teachers Hub for sharing and conversation. [Product](https://svejar.com/) | Relevant to turning a teacher’s plan into independent practice. Sharing and conversation do not establish automatic adaptation. |
| **Yoga Class Plan** | Copy-and-edit planning, persistent pose instructions, teaching comments, transition notes, and flexible printing. [Features](https://www.yogaclassplan.com/features/) | A benchmark for repeat planning tasks. Individual plans do not by themselves establish a student-record system or automatic adaptation. |

Flow Builder and FLOW are different products. Pocket Yoga Teacher is also distinct from the consumer Pocket Yoga app.

### Remember: personal records and adaptation

Memory can mean storing records, retaining explicit preferences, changing plans from feedback, or interpreting recurring comments. Smriti centres on interpreting the person’s experience over time; customers may still find the simpler approaches sufficient.

| Product | What it remembers or uses | Effect and open question |
|---|---|---|
| **Sequence Wiz** | Intake, goals, assessments, session notes, and practice plans, with student forms and a portal. [Records](https://home.sequencewiz.com/organize-your-records/) · [Forms](https://home.sequencewiz.com/public-forms/) | Supports the teacher’s next assessment and plan. Automatic interpretation of qualitative feedback is unverified. |
| **Tummee** | Advertised student profiles, progress tracking, and scheduling alongside sequencing. [Features](https://www.tummee.com/yoga-sequence-builder/pricing) | Teachers can use records when planning. An automatic feedback-to-sequence connection is unverified. |
| **Down Dog** | Pose likes/exclusions, history, and favourites. [FAQ](https://www.downdogapp.com/faq) | Likes change pose frequency; exclusions affect supported practices. Smriti must show added value beyond explicit preferences. |
| **Skill Yoga** | Goals, level, availability, assessments, and training feedback. [Developer listing](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skill-yoga-train-mind-body/id1462051533) | Advertises personalised weekly plans adjusted through feedback. Feedback depth and its connection to camera results need inspection. |
| **Glo** | Its terms describe journals, voice notes, goals, feedback, and activity contributing to a member knowledge graph—a connected personal profile. [Section 12](https://www.glo.com/legal/terms-of-use-and-conditions) | Describes personalised recommendations and explanatory text/voice. A disclosure does not verify rollout or the quality of the experience. |
| **Fitbod** | Logged performance, history, equipment, preferences, edits, and recovery estimates. [Algorithm](https://fitbod.me/blog/fitbod-algorithm/) | Changes exercise selection, sets, repetitions, and weights. An adjacent strength-training benchmark for visible adaptation. |
| **GOWOD** | Mobility assessments, weak areas, and progress. [How it works](https://www.gowod.app/how-it-works) | Retesting updates assessment-based routines. Whether qualitative feedback would add enough value is a useful comparison for Smriti. |
| **STRETCHIT** | Goals, level, and post-class feedback. [Recommendations](https://support.stretchitapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010319493-How-shall-I-schedule-my-training) | Feedback informs the next selected class. A suitable existing class may satisfy the same need as a newly generated practice. |
| **Pliability** | Mobility assessments, progress, saved sessions, and present-needs requests. [Assessments](https://pliability.com/mobility-test) · [Sessions](https://support.pliability.com/en/articles/15787801-how-does-sessions-stretch-ai-work) | Offers assessment-based programmes and custom sessions. Whether these share a persistent qualitative profile is unverified. |
| **Kemtai CARE** | Patient performance, adherence, and progress in clinician-prescribed plans. [Product](https://kemtai.com/kemtai_care/) | Advertises care plans that update with progress. Provider-led rehabilitation is an adjacent model, not evidence of consumer yoga demand. |

### Guide: taking the practice

Playback, spoken conversation, camera assessment, and live teaching are different experiences. Smriti needs to make following the practice comfortable and useful, whichever modes it adopts.

| Product | Guided experience | Relevance to Smriti |
|---|---|---|
| **Pliability Sessions** | Everyday requests become custom sequences assembled from filmed movements, with synchronised video and voice, pose swaps, and feedback. [Support](https://support.pliability.com/en/articles/15787801-how-does-sessions-stretch-ai-work) | Direct overlap with request-to-practice delivery. Cross-practice qualitative memory remains unverified. |
| **Amrap** | Advertises spoken questions, answers, logging, and workout adjustments during strength training. [Product](https://www.amrap.ai/) | Responsive conversation already has an adjacent fitness example. Timing, interruption handling, and reliability need testing. |
| **ThirdEye** | A yoga camera-and-voice project described with dynamic profiles and spoken questions; its public site advertises TestFlight beta. [Project](https://www.xaop.com/projects/thirdeye/) · [Site](https://www.thirdeye.yoga/) | An emerging competitor to watch. Current access, assessment quality, and accumulated memory are unverified. |
| **Kova** | Advertises adaptive yoga/Pilates plans, breath guidance, camera feedback, and memory of how someone felt; invites waitlist signups. [Product](https://www.liftwithkova.app/) | A close announced overlap with Smriti’s vision. The waitlist page does not establish sustained-use quality. |
| **Pocket Yoga** | Illustrated poses with spoken instruction and breathing cues. [Consumer app](https://www.pocketyoga.com/apps/pocket-yoga/) | A delivery reference that does not depend on filming every class. Separate from Pocket Yoga Teacher. |
| **Yogain** | Advertises live/recorded teaching, camera feedback, reports, and plans based on identified gaps. [Product](https://www.yogainwellness.com/) | The mechanism linking reports to future plans needs testing. A displayed session score is not evidence of assessment accuracy. |
| **Simple Soulful** | Markets camera posture feedback, scores, and guided goal programmes. [Product](https://theshilpashetty.com/) | An Indian consumer reference. Camera quality and the effect on later practices remain untested. |
| **MyYogaTeacher** | Live personal and group online teaching. [Service](https://myyogateacher.com/) | A benchmark for listening, adaptation, and explanation. Its human service does not establish demand for an automated substitute. |
| **Yogaia** | Live and recorded classes, with optional camera and two-way messaging in live classes. [FAQ](https://yogaia.com/faq) | A reference for teacher attention. Messaging differs from continuous spoken AI interaction. |

Down Dog provides guided practices with configurable delivery. Skill Yoga also documents a camera-based Movement Coach alongside its training-plan offering. [Down Dog](https://www.downdogapp.com/) · [Skill Yoga Movement Coach](https://skill-yoga.blog/the-movement-coach/).

### Alternatives people may already prefer

**Free content sets a demanding baseline.** ALO Wellness Club, formerly Alo Moves, advertises free instructor-led content. DoYogaWithMe offers free and paid classes; familiar teachers such as Yoga with Kassandra and Yoga with Adriene provide trusted alternatives. [ALO listing](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/alo-wellness-club/id601617403) · [DoYogaWithMe](https://www.doyogawithme.com/) · [Kassandra](https://www.yogawithkassandra.com/) · [Adriene / FWFG](https://fwfg.com/).

**Consistency and convenience also compete.** Habuild markets live practice, community, personalised plans, and check-ins. Asana Rebel advertises goal-based weekly planning; Yoga-Go, Yoga Wake Up, and Bend offer accessible ways to begin. Smriti’s added personalisation must justify the effort of maintaining a profile and providing feedback. [Habuild](https://habuild.in/online-yoga/daily-online-yoga-classes) · [Asana Rebel](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/asana-rebel-get-in-shape/id1067860796) · [Yoga-Go](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/yoga-go-tai-chi-pilates/id1361619409) · [Yoga Wake Up](https://www.yogawakeup.com/) · [Bend](https://bend.com/routines).

General-purpose AI and a personal practice journal also belong in the comparison. Their ability to meet the same practitioner needs should be tested rather than assumed away.

## Where the market is heading

### Generation is becoming an editable workflow

Cue, KramaFlow, and FLOW combine AI help with review and manual control. **Our reading:** usefulness includes preserving intent and making revisions easy, as well as producing a first draft. [Cue](https://cueyoga.com/) · [KramaFlow](https://www.kramaflow.com/) · [FLOW](https://www.yoga-sequencing.com/ai-yoga-sequence-builder).

### Personalisation is extending beyond a setup questionnaire

Skill Yoga advertises feedback-adjusted plans; Glo discloses personal information used for recommendations and explanations. **Our reading:** Smriti should compete on the quality and usefulness of adaptation. Glo’s actual member experience remains to be verified. [Skill Yoga listing](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skill-yoga-train-mind-body/id1462051533) · [Glo disclosures](https://www.glo.com/legal/terms-of-use-and-conditions).

### Requests increasingly connect to delivery

Pliability documents custom guided sessions; Amrap markets conversation during workouts. **Our reading:** generating a plan and helping someone follow it are converging, while reliable conversation remains a separate quality challenge. [Pliability](https://support.pliability.com/en/articles/15787801-how-does-sessions-stretch-ai-work) · [Amrap](https://www.amrap.ai/).

### Human content and AI can work together

Pliability assembles filmed movements around a request. Glo describes AI contextualising human-created instruction. **Our reading:** a large video library can support personalisation; it does not prevent it. [Pliability support](https://support.pliability.com/en/articles/15787801-how-does-sessions-stretch-ai-work) · [Glo terms](https://www.glo.com/legal/terms-of-use-and-conditions).

## Cases worth studying

### Cue: reflection is already part of the workflow

Cue links planning, teaching, and post-class reflection. [Product](https://cueyoga.com/).

**Lesson for Smriti:** show how remembered feedback changes later practice, beyond keeping a useful note.

### Sequence Wiz: continuity includes practitioner participation

Student forms and a portal complement teacher-managed records and plans. [Forms](https://home.sequencewiz.com/public-forms/) · [Portal](https://home.sequencewiz.com/student-portal/).

**Lesson for Smriti:** people should be able to contribute to and understand the information shaping their practice. Storing more context is not enough.

### STRETCHIT: selecting the right class can solve the problem

Its Personal Recommendations feature uses class feedback to choose what comes next. [Support](https://support.stretchitapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010319493-How-shall-I-schedule-my-training).

**Lesson for Smriti:** judge the suitability of the resulting practice. Fresh generation must earn its value against good selection.

### Zenia and Onyx: acquired technology is not proof of customer demand

Zing Coach announced the acquisition of Zenia’s technology, team, and licences in February 2024. Cure.fit announced its acquisition of Onyx’s camera-based fitness technology in January 2021. [Zing announcement](https://www.prweb.com/releases/zing-coach-acquires-interactive-workout-pioneer-zenia-to-increase-personalization-and-responsivity-within-its-ai-driven-fitness-app-302061746.html) · [Cure.fit announcement](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/curefit-acquires-digital-fitness-company-onyx-aims-to-accelerate-international-offering-301212500.html).

**Lesson for Smriti:** movement-analysis technology can be useful within a broader product. These acquisitions do not prove that camera-led yoga succeeds or fails, or that practitioners will pay for Smriti’s memory.

### Runna and Strava: coaching can complement a larger platform

Strava acquired Runna and introduced a combined subscription in July 2025, linking personalised running plans with its wider platform. [Strava announcement](https://press.strava.com/fr/articles/strava-runna-launch-combined-subscription-bundle).

**Lesson for Smriti:** focused coaching can have strategic value. Yoga’s customer demand and business economics still need their own evidence.
