Corpse Pose Alignment Check
Is your corpse pose actually aligned? Prop your phone up and find out — GoodReps watches your hip angle (shoulder → hip → knee) live and times the hold only while your form is right, as you work your core. Free, in your browser, processed entirely on your device.
▶ Check My Alignment FreeHOW TO HOLD A PROPER CORPSE POSE
Setup Lie flat on your back, side-on to the camera, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Let your feet fall open and your palms turn up.
- Release every muscle — jaw, shoulders, hands.
- Stay still and breathe; the camera keeps the time.
This is the same instruction sheet you’ll find on the ⓘ panel inside the app — with an animated demo next to it.
THREE STEPS TO A SCORED HOLD
Prop your phone and get in frame
Set your phone at roughly torso height and set up side-on to the camera. The built-in camera test confirms your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start.
The AI locks a 17-point skeleton on you
GoodReps measures your hip angle (shoulder → hip → knee) against the pose target (~172°), entirely on your device. No wearables, no mirrors needed. A mat and a few undisturbed minutes.
Settle in — the timer only counts real alignment
The hold timer runs while you’re actually in the pose. Drift out of alignment and it pauses (it doesn’t reset) until you find the shape again.
WHAT THE CAMERA WATCHES
- Your stillness against the pose target (~172°) — lying genuinely flat, measured at the shoulder–hip–knee line.
- The hold itself — the timer runs while you're settled; fidget upright and it pauses (never resets) until you're flat again.
- Nothing else — as the app's own cue puts it: "Completely relax — the timer does the work."
COMMON CORPSE POSE MISTAKES
Skipping it entirely
The most common corpse pose mistake is not doing it. Two flat, quiet minutes after training is where your nervous system banks the work.
Lying down but staying on duty
Clenched fists, held breath, planning dinner. Do one slow scan — jaw, shoulders, hands, legs — and let each one actually drop.
Fidgeting through it
Every adjustment restarts the settling. Get comfortable once — legs apart, palms up — then let the floor do the rest.
Napping instead of resting
Fair risk. If you keep drifting off, try it earlier in the session or keep the eyes softly open.
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
Is corpse pose really an exercise?
It's a recovery practice — deliberate, timed stillness that downshifts your heart rate and breath after work. GoodReps times it like any hold, which is exactly the nudge most of us need to actually do it.
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.
