description Yoga has been a great form of physical activity and one of the promising applications in personal health care. Several studies prove that yoga is used as one of the physical treatments for cancer, musculoskeletal disorder, depression, Parkinson’s disease, and respiratory heart diseases. In yoga, the body should be mechanically aligned with some effort on the muscles, ligaments, and joints for optimal posture. Postural-based yoga increases flexibility, energy, overall brain activity and reduces stress, blood pressure, and back pain. Body Postural Alignment is a very important aspect while performing yogic asanas. Many yogic asanas including uttanasana, kurmasana, ustrasana, and dhanurasana, require bending forward or backward, and if the asanas are performed incorrectly, strain in the joints, ligaments, and backbone can result, which can cause problems with the hip joints. Hence it is vital to monitor the correct yoga poses while performing different asanas. Yoga posture prediction and automatic movement analysis are now possible because of advancements in computer vision algorithms and sensors. This research investigates a thorough analysis of yoga posture identification systems using computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning techniques.
