Pose Mirror

Turn on your camera, match the outline, and get live tips like 'drop your left shoulder'.

Who it's forAnyone practising alone at home without a photographer to direct them.

What you'll be able to do

  • See a target pose outline over your camera view
  • Get simple, live corrections on feet, hips, shoulders, hands and chin
  • Hold the pose for three seconds to tick it off
  • Works with a phone propped on a shelf

Step by step

  1. Choose a lesson in the Practice Studio
  2. Tap “Practise with my camera” and allow camera access
  3. Step back until your whole body is in view
  4. Follow the prompts until the outline turns green
  5. Save the frame if you want to compare later

How it will work

Pose detection runs entirely on your device. It compares joint positions only, never your appearance, and no video leaves your phone.

Example prompts

  • Turn your hips about 20° away from the camera
  • Bring your weight onto your back foot
  • Soften your front knee
  • Lift your chin slightly; keep your neck long

Why it matters

Reading a pose and doing it are very different. Instant feedback is how dancers and athletes learn positions, and it turns a lesson into practice.

Honest limits

  • Runs entirely in your browser: video is never uploaded, saved or sent
  • Compares joint positions only. It never rates your face, body or appearance
  • A practice aid, not a substitute for a photographer's direction

Before it goes live

  • Testing with different bodies, heights and camera angles so feedback is fair
  • Accessibility alternatives for anyone who can't use a camera
