Stream Down Dog data. Straight from the phone.
Down Dog writes each completed practice — activity type and duration — to Apple Health across its Yoga, Pilates, HIIT, Barre, and Meditation apps, and Sahha’s SDK reads them into your app as normalized exercise sessions, alongside every other source.

Identical schema across 500+ sources
Your users connect Down Dog. Sahha does the rest.
This is your user’s side of the story — one screen, once. Sahha ingests every Down Dog signal, normalizes, deduplicates, and delivers it to your service — raw, or as refined intelligence your product can act on.
A Allow "your app"
On-device and permissioned
Down Dog data is read on the user’s own device, only after they grant Apple Health permission — nothing syncs without consent.
One integration, every source
Permission is per data type, not per brand. Anything that writes to Apple Health — Down Dog today, a new watch next year — flows through the same SDK with no extra prompt and no new code.
What Down Dog syncs through Apple Health.
Request only what you need
You choose exactly which of these signals to request from Apple Health — users are only ever prompted for those, which keeps opt-in rates high.
One schema, every source
Down Dog, Apple Watch, and Oura all return the same fields and units.
What crosses the bridge
Completed sessions — activity type and duration pass through Apple Health; some app-exclusive metrics may not.

]Down Dog writes the completed session — activity type and duration — from its Yoga, Pilates, HIIT, Barre, Prenatal Yoga, and Meditation apps. Active energy and heart rate don’t cross (there’s no Apple Watch app), and Meditation sessions file as workouts rather than mindful minutes. Apple Health isn’t supported on iPad, and Down Dog dropped Google Fit without moving to Health Connect — so this is an iOS-only integration.

Get more than just raw data
Sahha turns these signals into biomarkers, scores, archetypes, and insights — the modeling done for you.
Reading Apple Health yourself? Here’s the to-do list.
Everything on the left is yours to write, test, and maintain on iOS. Everything on the right, Sahha already did.
- Integrate Apple Health.
- Handle iOS version differences.
- Add Health Connect separately for Android.
One SDK covers Apple Health, Health Connect, and every cloud source.
- Write the HealthKit queries.
- Request the right permissions.
- Wire up background delivery.
The SDK handles queries, permissions, and background sync.
- Dedupe apps writing the same metric.
- Map dozens of HealthKit types.
- Reconcile against your Android sources.
Deduped, typed, one schema — one stream per user.
- Build a sleep model.
- Build an activity model.
- Hire a data scientist.
Scores, archetypes, and insights — built in.
- Apple changes a HealthKit API.
- You find out in production.
We version the SDK. You never notice.
No Down Dog developer account needed — Sahha reads what Down Dog already writes to Apple Health on iOS.

Sahha reads and delivers
Once permission is granted, the SDK reads Down Dog data from Apple Health in the background, normalizes it to one schema, and streams it to your app by webhook or API.
Most teams read live Down Dog data the same day they add the SDK. The only per-source prerequisite: your user has Down Dog’s Apple Health sync switched on — most source apps enable it by default.
Route it into your stack.
Sahha streams every update to your webhook — and a step-by-step guide takes it the rest of the way into your database, CDP, or messaging tool.
Down Dog integration questions
How does Sahha get Down Dog data?
Down Dog writes each completed practice to Apple Health, and Sahha reads it from there with its mobile SDK, delivering it as a normalized exercise session — no Down Dog API to integrate.
Which Down Dog apps are covered?
Down Dog ships a family of apps — Yoga, Pilates, HIIT, Barre, Prenatal Yoga, and Meditation — and each writes its completed sessions to Apple Health. They arrive as separate exercise sessions typed by activity, so you can tell a HIIT session from a yoga one. (The Running app has been delisted.)
What Down Dog data does Sahha receive?
The activity type and duration of each completed session. Active energy and heart rate don’t cross — Down Dog has no Apple Watch app — and Meditation sessions are filed as workouts rather than mindful minutes. If you need calories or heart rate for those practices, they’ll come from a wearable the user also wears, deduplicated into the same schema.
Does the Down Dog integration work on Android?
No. Down Dog dropped Google Fit and hasn’t moved to Health Connect, so there’s no Android write path today — this is an iOS-only integration. Apple Health also isn’t supported on iPad, so iPad-only practices won’t sync. Your users’ other Android sources still flow through the same Sahha SDK.
Is the Down Dog integration HIPAA and GDPR compliant?
Yes. Sahha is HIPAA and GDPR compliant and SOC 2 certified, and Down Dog data flows through the same compliant pipeline as every other source.
One API for every other source, too.
Add another wearable or app and the schema, webhooks, and scores are identical — no new pipeline to build.
