N2 - Exercise with yoga postures is very popular nowadays because yoga exercises can help to increase flexibility and muscle strength and improve the respiratory system. However, the correctness of the yoga postures is difficult to check, and thus practitioners may not be able to benefit from the exercises fully. This paper presents a yoga posture recognition system to verify the correctness of the lower muscle movements while practicing yoga. The study included ten subjects, five males and five females. Data were collected during five yoga postures. This paper focuses on the use of Electromyography signals for analyzing the motion of four lower-limb muscles of both legs. Recognition was performed with three machine learning algorithms. The results showed that the Random Forest Decision Tree algorithm has the highest accuracy in recognizing yoga postures in comparison with other algorithms and that the yoga posture recognition model is accurate at 87.43 percent.
