If you’re a yoga instructor, you know the late-night scramble. It’s 10 PM, your eyes are blurry, and you’re staring at a blank notebook, trying to dream up a Vinyasa flow for your 6 AM class that feels fresh, intelligent, and not exactly the same as last Tuesday's. My own collection of Moleskine notebooks, filled with cryptic stick figures and coffee stains, is a testament to this struggle. For years, this was just part of the grind.
So, when I first heard about My Yogi, an AI-powered yoga sequence builder, my inner purist scoffed. AI? To create something as intuitive and human as a yoga sequence? It felt... wrong. Like asking a robot to write a love poem. But my inner tech nerd, the one who geeks out over traffic generation and new CPC tools, was intrigued. Could a piece of software really understand the art of the flow? I had to find out.
So, What Exactly Is This My Yogi Thing?
At its core, My Yogi is a digital command center for your yoga sequences. Think of it as a super-smart filing cabinet that doesn’t just store your flows but actively helps you create new ones. It’s designed for yoga instructors and dedicated practitioners who want to streamline the often-tedious process of class planning. It promises to help you build, save, organize, and even get inspiration for your flows, all in one clean interface. But the real headline-grabber, the feature that makes everyone raise an eyebrow, is its use of AI.

A Closer Look at the My Yogi Features
Okay, let's get into the nitty-gritty. A tool is only as good as what it can actually do. Here’s a breakdown of what’s under the hood.
The AI Sequence Generator: Your New Brainstorming Buddy
This is the main event. You can give the My Yogi AI a few parameters—like class style, difficulty, and duration—and it will generate a sequence for you. Now, my initial fear was that it would spit out generic, soulless flows. And while it’s not going to replace the intuitive genius of a teacher who’s been on the mat for 20 years, I was pleasantly surprised. I found it’s less of a “creator” and more of a… catalyst. It’s the perfect cure for writer’s block. Sometimes, it would suggest a transition I hadn't thought of, or start a sequence in a way that sparked a whole new idea. It’s like having a junior instructor to bounce ideas off of—it gets the ball rolling, and then you, the lead teacher, refine it into something special.
Detailed Pose Notes That Go Beyond the Asana
This feature is a godsend. For every pose in your sequence, you can add detailed notes. This isn’t just about remembering the Sanskrit name. This is where you put your secret sauce: your favorite cues, modifications for different body types, or reminders to focus on a specific anatomical detail. I once taught a class where I completely blanked on a good cue for helping a student with tight shoulders in Gomukhasana. Having those notes right there, attached to the pose, would have been a lifesaver. It transforms a simple list of poses into a rich, detailed lesson plan.
From Screen to Studio with Print-Ready Sequences
I’m going to be vulnerable here: my in-class notes are usually a mess. A sweaty, crumpled piece of paper that I’m squinting at from the front of the room. It’s not a good look. My Yogi lets you print your sequences in a clean, professional, easy-to-read format. It sounds like a small thing, but it’s huge for your professionalism and peace of mind. You walk into the studio feeling prepared and confident, not fumbling with a messy notebook. Its a simple feature that makes a world of difference in your day-to-day teaching life.
Effortless Management to Tame the Chaos
Remember that stack of notebooks I mentioned? Finding that “perfect hip-opening flow from last spring” can feel like an archaeological dig. My Yogi solves this by letting you save and organize everything digitally. You can tag sequences by style, peak pose, or theme, making them instantly searchable. Over time, you build a personal, searchable library of your best work. No more lost inspiration.
What I Genuinely Loved About It
After playing around with My Yogi for a while, a few things really stood out. The biggest win for me is the time saved. That hour of head-scratching and doodling stick figures can now be a 15-minute session of refining an AI-generated idea. That's more time for my own practice, for reading up on anatomy, or you know, sleeping. The blend of AI-suggestion and personal customization is the sweet spot. I never felt like the tool was taking over; it just felt like it was clearing the clutter so I could focus on the creative part. The print-outs are just the cherry on top, making me feel way more put-together than I usually am.
A Few Small Grumbles
No tool is perfect, right? While I’m mostly positive about My Yogi, there are a couple of things to be aware of. For someone who isn’t super tech-savvy, there might be a small learning curve to get the hang of all the features. Also, there’s the philosophical debate: if you rely too heavily on the AI, could it make your sequencing a bit… lazy? I think it’s a valid concern. The tool is powerful, but you have to be the one in the driver's seat. It's a supplement, not a substitute, for your own knowledge and creativity. And depending on their business model, some of the best features might be locked behind a subscription, which is pretty standard for SaaS platforms these days.
So, What's the Price Tag?
This is the big question, isn't it? As of my review, specific pricing information wasn't front and center. Many new platforms like this start with a beta or introductory phase, so the pricing structure can change. My best advice is to head directly to their official website to get the most current details on any free trials, subscription tiers or lifetime deals they might be offering. I’d expect a model similar to other professional software, likely with a free version with limited features and a few paid tiers for power users.
Frequently Asked Questions About My Yogi
Is My Yogi good for students and personal practice?
Absolutely. While it's clearly designed with instructors in mind, anyone serious about their home practice could benefit. It’s a great way to build your own flows, track your progress, and learn how to sequence poses intelligently instead of just randomly picking them.
Does the AI create a full, 60-minute class ready to go?
Yes, it can generate a full sequence. However, I’d strongly recommend you view it as a high-quality first draft. A great yoga class has a heart and a theme that only a human teacher can provide. Use the AI-generated sequence as your foundation, then layer in your own personality, pacing, and focus.
Can I add my own custom poses or notes?
Yes, and this is one of its best features. The ability to add detailed pose notes, cues, and modifications is what allows you to make the sequences truly your own. You're not just stuck with a generic library.
How is this better than a simple notebook or a Google Doc?
Organization and intelligence. A notebook isn't searchable, and a Google Doc can get clunky. My Yogi is a purpose-built database. You can tag flows, easily find a specific sequence from six months ago, get AI-powered inspiration, and print clean copies all from one place. It’s the difference between a shoebox of receipts and a proper accounting software.
Is My Yogi available as a mobile app?
Most modern platforms are designed with mobile access in mind, either through a dedicated app or a responsive website. This allows for on-the-go planning, which is a huge plus for busy instructors. You'll want to check their site for specific iOS or Android availability.
The Final Word on My Yogi
I came in a skeptic and I'm walking away a convert. Well, maybe a cautious convert. My Yogi isn't going to magically make you a better yoga teacher. The real magic of teaching happens in the room, in the connection you build with your students. But what this tool can do is remove a significant point of friction from your workflow. It automates the boring stuff, sparks creativity when you're feeling stuck, and helps you show up more prepared and professional.
It’s a smart assistant that frees up your mental energy to focus on what truly matters. And in this busy world, that’s a gift. If you’re a teacher drowning in notebooks and late-night planning sessions, I’d say it’s absolutely worth a look. You might just be surprised.
