Svayam started with a simple frustration: great yoga instruction shouldn't require expensive studio memberships, long commutes, or guessing whether your alignment is correct. Technology can fix all three.
Make world-class yoga instruction accessible to everyone, everywhere — and make teaching yoga a financially sustainable career.
Most yoga platforms are either marketplaces that treat teachers as gig workers, or video libraries with no real feedback loop. Svayam is different: live sessions, AI posture analysis, structured courses, and real earnings — all in one platform.
The principles that guide every product decision we make.
Yoga alignment isn't subjective — a misaligned knee is a misaligned knee. We built AI tools that give students accurate, real-time posture feedback so they improve faster and stay injury-free.
Platforms often treat teachers as a commodity. We built Svayam from the ground up to help great teachers build sustainable, well-paid online practices without fighting a broken marketplace.
World-class yoga instruction shouldn't require living in a major city. We believe anyone, anywhere, should have access to expert, personalised guidance.
Our posture analysis is built on peer-reviewed biomechanics research and MediaPipe's landmark models — not marketing claims. We update it continuously as the science evolves.
