Tree Pose Alignment Check
Wondering if your tree pose is aligned? Prop up your phone — GOODREPS watches your knee angle (hip → knee → ankle) live and times the hold only while your form is right, as you work your core, with quads, calves and glutes assisting. Free in your browser today; coming to Google Play and the App Store.

LIVEHOW TO HOLD A PROPER TREE POSE
Setup Face the camera and stand tall on one leg.
- Place the other foot on your inner thigh or calf — never on the knee.
- Press palms together at your chest or overhead.
- Fix your gaze on one point and hold; switch sides.
Same sheet as the ⓘ panel in the app — animated demo included.
THREE STEPS TO A SCORED HOLD
Prop your phone and get in frame
Phone at roughly torso height, stand facing the camera. A quick camera test checks lighting, distance, and angle before you start.
The camera locks a 17-point skeleton on you
GOODREPS measures your knee angle (hip → knee → ankle) against the pose target (~50°) on-device — no wearables. No equipment — a wall within reach is a fine training partner at first.
Settle in — the timer only counts real alignment
The hold timer runs while you’re in the pose. Drift out and it pauses (doesn’t reset) until you find the shape again.
WHAT THE CAMERA WATCHES
- Your lifted-leg position against the pose target (~50°) — measured live at the hip–knee–ankle chain.
- The hold itself — the timer runs only while you're balanced in the pose; wobble out and it pauses (never resets) until you're back.
- The two things that make it a tree — the form cue covers both: "Foot to inner thigh, hips level."
COMMON TREE POSE MISTAKES
Foot parked on the knee
The one hard rule: never press the foot against the side of the knee joint. Above it (inner thigh) or below it (calf) — both are proper trees.
Hip jutting out sideways
The standing hip loves to sag outward. Stack it under your shoulders and keep both hip points facing forward.
Eyes wandering
Balance lives in your gaze. Fix your eyes on one unmoving point at eye level and the wobbles calm down.
Holding your breath to balance
Breath-holding is a tell that you're gripping. Slow, even breaths actually steady the pose.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Pose detection runs in your browser via TensorFlow.js. Camera frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing leaves your phone, and we never see them. Sign-in is optional; skip it and everything stays local.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
What if I can't balance yet?
Start with your toes on the floor and heel against your ankle, or keep a hand on a wall. The timer still runs while you're aligned — balance builds fast with daily holds.
Does it work in a home gym or low light?
Run the built-in camera test first — it checks your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start.
Is my camera feed uploaded anywhere?
No. Pose detection runs entirely on your phone, in your browser. Frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded.
