The YogaBase Project

Yoga’s popularity is rising in our culture. But people who have the power of truly integrating its practice into our system and to shift its reputation from esoteric to medically relevant, are often still skeptical. In this project, I am visualizing effect cascades on the body that are induced by yoga poses by designing a referenced database-type platform for scientists, physicians, yoga teachers and potential patients in the broad public.

What may a visual concept for the depiction and mediation of cause-and-effect cascades look like on different levels of detail? What may a color concept and a sitemap structure for the platform look like?

This tool shall help scientists identify research gaps, physicians discover complementary treatment possibilities, yoga teachers design ailment-specific classes, and provide patients or anyone interested with information on how to improve life through the practice of targeted yoga poses.

In shoulder stand, Sarvangasana, the autonomic nervous system is activated in a way that regulates the heartbeat toward relaxation. I used this phenomenon as an example cause-and-effect cascade for the visualizations in this project.
