A guided yin yoga app for phones. Build a sequence of poses, press play and put the phone down on the mat. A calm voice leads the whole session over soft music: into each pose, a word at the midpoint, a warning before it ends, the change of sides and the way out. Nobody has to open their eyes to check a timer.
A 59-second animated short: a doctor’s day from an overslept alarm through the cath lab, a chai break and the evening clinic, ending with yin yoga on Asana at 22:15. Illustrated and voiced for the film.
Real screens from the app with demo data, narrated by the app’s own voice over its own music.
Yin yoga holds each pose for minutes. Practising alone means either glancing at a timer, which breaks the stillness the practice is for, or following a fixed video that can’t follow your own sequence. A teacher’s voice is what makes a class work, and it doesn’t come home with you.
A library of yin poses with guidance, other names and cautions, maintained by a yoga teacher. A sequence builder where you pick poses, drag them into order and see the total length as you go, with a check for cautions before you save. Then press play: an introduction, each pose’s entry, midpoint and closing cues, side changes and transitions, and a cool-down, all spoken over a soft music loop that dips while the voice speaks. Afterwards there’s a summary, a rating and a note (typed or spoken), and a dashboard of streaks, practice hours, a calendar and badges. Friends see each other’s activity on a gentle leaderboard, never their notes. New accounts get three months free, then a simple monthly or yearly plan.

Live at asana.datacraft.com.pk. All seven phases of the plan were built in October 2026, from playback and accounts to the dashboard, friends, plans and accessibility, and the app was refined after its first real sessions.
Small, focused apps built around how people actually use them, on a phone, in real life, often with the screen off.
