PIVOT$Yoga$is$a$natural$fit$for$Hatha,$Iyengar,$and$Vinyasa$styles.$Frankly,$any$style$that$you$can$do$at$
home$and$where$it$would$be$helpful$to$have$your$body$visualized$on$a$screen$would$make$sense.$
Forms$of$hot$yoga,$however,$are$probably$not$a$good$fit,$mainly$because$most$people$simply$can't$do$
them$at$home,$and$also$be cause$our$clothes$are$designed$to$be$used$at$room$temperature$
Can$I$use$the$clothes$without$the$app?$
You$certainly$can.$Most$of$our$early$testers$rave$about$the$fit,$support,$and$feel$of$our$clothes.$And$they$
are$about$half$the$cost$of$what$you'd$pay$at$retail$for$clothes$of$similar$fabrics.$So$pose$proud!$
This$said,$it's$also$true$that$you$can't$use$our$app$without$our$clothes.$That's$because$the$clothes,$app,$
and$teachers$all$are$designed $to$work$exclusively$together.$
Is$PIVOT$Yoga$safe?$
Yes,$it$is.$$
To$discuss$it$thoroughly,$we'd$start$by$saying$that$there$are$three$main$safety$concerns$that$we$think$
yogis$typically$have$in$mind$when$they$think$about$PIVOT$Yoga:$$
1. Electronics$-$Is$it$harmful$to$my$body$to$wear$electronics$while$I'm$doing$yoga?$
2. Batteries$-$Can$the$batteries$in$the$clothes$harm$me?$
3. Physical$Injury$-$Will$I$hurt$myself$trying$to$do$something$PIVOT$Yoga$asks$me$to$do?$
Let's$discuss$these$in$turn.$$
1.)ELECTRONICS$$
In$the$world$of$consumer$electronics,$there$are$two$main$ways$to$measure$the$impact$on$humans.$The$
first$is$the$amount$of$energy$being$wirelessly$emitted$by $the$d e v ic e ,$and$the$second$related$issue$is$the$
rate$at$which$that$emitted$energy$is$absorbed$by$the$body.$$$
Total$power$output$is$measured$in$milliwatts,$which$is$written$"mW".$$Keep$in$mind$that$PIVOT$Yoga$
clothes$consist$of$ordinary$sensors,$which$emit$no$wireless$energy$at$all,$and$then$main$units,$of$which$
