There are 4 Kinect Yoga classes in Your Shape and Fitness Evolved, In yoga, it analyzes your limb configuration with a stick figure drawn over
your onscreen image, telling you which parts of your body are in or out of
alignment. When you've got it right, the white lines turn green, checkmarks
accrue and there's glitter and sound effects everywhere up in the HUD. It's a
great feedback mechanism and makes exercising feel more like a game instead of
