Samsung has announced that it is bringing an interactive yoga experience to its smart TVs in India. For this, the company has exclusively partnered with YogiFi, which makes smart yoga mats. All smart TVs from Samsung's 2023 lineup will have YogiFi integration built-in, which means users can practice yoga with the help of the AI-enabled smart yoga mat and a compatible Samsung TV.
The YogiFi app will be available on all smart TVs in India that Samsung launched this year. The app offers rich yoga content, feedback for posture correction, guided classes, personalized sessions, and wellness monitoring when it is paired with a smart yoga mat from YogiFi. All users, ranging from beginners to experts, can get better through posture correction feedback. The YogiFi app will be available on Crystal 4K UHD TVs, QLED TVs, Neo QLED TVs, and OLED TVs.
Samsung says that the YogiFi app for its smart TVs features three levels of 21-day programs: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. All these programs are carefully crafted with relevant yoga asanas. The smart yoga mat has various sensors to detect your position and posture. And when the posture is incorrect, it provides instant feedback via the big screen on the paired Samsung TV. Samsung R&D Institute India in Delhi collaborated closely with YogiFi to bring the new health and wellness app to these smart TVs, and it is a part of the South Korean firm's Make for India initiative.
Dipesh Shah, Head of India Consumer Experience Team at Samsung, said, “At Samsung, we understand consumers’ desire for holistic health and fitness. Our partnership with YogiFi to make yoga more accessible for consumers is a part of our vision to bring calm to the connected world so that devices and innovation can enable better, more personal, and more intuitive multi-device experiences. Consumers can now practice yoga ‘the tech way’ on Samsung TVs at their home, benefiting from instant feedback.”
