VirtuaLiron - SIDEQUEST YOGA VR APP
A downloadable Yoga practice in VR
Welcome to our virtual yoga practice. The session we’ve built is suitable for everyone, both beginners and those already on the yoga path. During the practice we want to strengthen our attentiveness. We practice to the exact extent of our abilities at this moment, and from the principle of non-injury, or AHIMSA. During the practice we are attentive to our bodies, especially our breathing, it directs us. Practice is performed unhurriedly, quietly.
Yoga is restraining the fluctuating consciousness, without tension and without strength. If during the VR session you experience dizziness, discomfort or pain, it’s always possible to stop and take off the headset. The session will stop automatically and will resume when the headset is put on again. The more we recruit our awareness during the session, the more the practice will be complete and deeper.
This is a 5 minute demo of the full app. The full VirtuaLiron yoga practice package includes 3 sessions of different length. 30, 60 and 90 minutes. You can choose the form of the teacher from 3 different avatars: A female body avatar where subtle changes in the body colors indicate the breathing sequence. A muscle model avatar where you can see during the practice which muscles are exerting force, and a skeleton avatar that shows the bones structure, engulfed in a transparent body envelope.
The teacher will always be in your field of view, regardless where your head is pointing to. This is a fundamental advantage over practice in the real world. You do not need to exit the posture or the flow of movement in order to see what the teacher is doing. While you practice, your head rotation also determines the angle you will see the teacher from.

Hi. I got some requests from folks who downloaded on the Quest 2 and expected it to run directly... do for those who downloaded the app on a PC, please follow the link below to see how to get it on to the device. Thanks! https://www.androidcentral.com/how-sideload-apps-oculus-quest
I followed the guide and seem to have done everything correctly but Sidequest still sends me to itch then I'm not sure where the downloads are....
Edit: I just got a prompt when trying to dl another game from SideQuest, saying for security 'phone' (I'm using SQ in headset wirelessly) isn't allowing unknown sources. Enabled it to allow & the game installed. Doesn't seem to have made a difference to this Yoga app., but it's an incentive to try again..
Edit 2: Refreshed itch & dl worked finally 😁
Tried a couple oftimes to o a session but keeps crashing... 🤔
hi... what VR equipment are you using ?
Hi. Quest 2
allowing unknown sources should show the app.... There are many users of same config... Maybe a Refresh issue?
its strange...
I got a bit further with it.. managed to do a couple of mins of the actual yoga, till it said to look down.. The movement of the headset seems to be what triggers the crash for me....
Hi, Can you please add a shorter session like 15 minutes. It would also be really nice to be able to pause, fast forward, and rewind. I had a crash part way through, and could not get right back to where I was.
hi Bobby. Those are good suggestions. I will implement them... ive worked on this project in my downtime between work projects, so I'm not sure when I'll have the time to re vist the project. Please have patience... 😇
