Inputs

Provide the following 3 values to run the Yoga Pose Timer:

  • Number of Poses [number] (required)
  • Hold Time per Pose (sec) [number] — default 30
  • Transition Time (sec) [number] — default 10

What it calculates

  • Active Time (min)

Worked example

For the sample inputs below:

  • Transition Time (sec): 10

the Yoga Pose Timer produces:

  • Total Duration: 3 min

How it works

The result is derived through the following steps:
