How to use yoga app?

I have the Garmin Yoga app on my VA3, but don't find any instructions on how to use it.  When I sync with Connect, there is a field in each Yoga activity for "number of positions".  I would expect to have some way of at least marking the beginning of a new position on the watch, similar to beginning a new set in the "Strength" app, but I don't find any such possibility.  The online VA3 manual has an extensive explanation of the Strength app, but the only instructions I found for Yoga don't work. If I select "Yoga" (step 2), there is nothing to "swipe up" (step 3).  In particular, there are no "Workouts" (step 4).

I am running SW version 8.10.  How is the yoga app intended to be used on the VA3?  Where can I find the corresponding instructions?

    Meanwhile I found how to create (or load) a Workout (under "Trainings" in Connect, but how can I get a "Custom Workout" on my watch?

    There are workouts available for "Pilates", but I don't find any app or activity for Pilates.  How can I load these workouts?

    P.S: After creating a Yoga workout in Connect and synchronizing with my VA3, I still have nothing (i.e. no Workouts) when I try to swipe up the watch display after selecting Yoga.

    Hello .  Unfortunately, the vivoactive 3 does not support the Pilates activity profile.  It does support the Yoga activity profile, but not Yoga workouts.  Please see graphic below:

    Thanks for the response.  The answer is correct, as far as it goes, but 

    1. Why then, does the online Owner’s Manual for VA3 specifically mention Yoga and Pilates under “Workouts”?

      “For strength, yoga, or Pilates activities, an instructional animation appears„

    2. What about the first part of my question? The „Strength“ activity can track reps & sets on the VA3 without using Workouts. Is there some way to track number of Yoga positions on the VA3?

    Please see responses (below) to your two questions:

    1. As previously mentioned, the Pilates activity profile and Yoga workouts are not supported by this watch. We apologize for any confusion this owner's manual page has caused and we have created a ticket to have this changed.
    2. To track Yoga positions of a recorded activity, you can add poses in Garmin Connect after saving and syncing the activity:
