Easily Create Yoga Sequences with Yoga Pose Drawings … Even if you Can’t Draw a Straight Line

 

Yoga Pose DrawingsDownload 108 yoga pose gesture drawings (like yoga stick figures only cooler!) to create your own home practices and class plans. Print out your plan to take to your mat as a guide.

If you’ve been looking for a way to:

  • Create “notes” that you can easily follow when practicing or teaching a class
  • Illustrate yoga postures (even if you aren’t an artist)
  • Create fun, useful, educational materials for your students
  • Get inspired when creating sequences
  • Organize and save your yoga posture sequences
  • Learn the names of yoga poses in English and Sanskrit

… this just might be what you’re looking for.

Step 1: Download 108 Posture Drawings

This downloadable package of 108 yoga pose drawings allows you to easily create yoga sequences and learning materials using your favorite word processing or publishing software.

Step 2: Create Your Yoga Sequence

It’s easy.

After you design a yoga sequence (that’s the hard part), use the individual yoga posture images to create a great visual representation of your series in your favorite software package (such Microsoft Word). Print it out to use as a guide for your own practice or when teaching a class.

Or if you prefer a more low-tech, hands-on approach…

Print out one of the ready-made guides that includes all 108 postures and simply cut out the cards and arrange them on paper using the “scotch tape” method.

Step 3: Practice

Take your printed yoga sequence with you to your mat and use it to guide your practice.

Afterwards, you can easily make any changes to your pose flow, save it and reprint it for future practices or to use as a teaching aid.

Step 4: Learn

As you create sequences with the posture drawings and use them to practice your yoga flows, you will begin to recognize the poses and their Sanskrit names.

You may even wish to laminate a set for use as flash cards to learn Sanskrit and English posture names. The visual cue of the pose illustration plus the pose name written below, is a great way to learn posture names.

Use the yoga posture drawings to create handouts and learning materials for your students.

The Story Behind 108 Yoga Pose Drawings

When I was in yoga teacher training, I was looking for a way to create reference notes that I could use to follow along as I taught my practicum classes. I tried written notes and found it was just too difficult to keep track of where I was.

My instructor suggested trying yoga stick figures and for the next class I taught, I created a series of drawings that illustrated my class plan. With a series of pose images in front of me, it was easy to see at a glance where I was and what was coming next.

It worked so well that I wanted a set of poses that I could use over and over again. I worked with artist Alex McVey to create a set of beautifully illustrated gesture drawings that capture the essence of 108 yoga postures.

How Can Yoga Pose Drawings Help You?

Please note: This set of 108 pose drawings is not meant to teach you how to do the postures. It is best to learn asanas (postures) from a qualified instructor.

But if you are looking for a simple and elegant way to create a home or class practice that you can easily follow, this downloadable package of 108 expressive yoga illustrations may be just what you need to:

  • Get creative. Create your own yoga routines or re-create what you have learned in classes and at conferences from other yoga teachers.
  • Be inspired by these expressive gesture drawings.
  • Learn. Access different learning modalities. See the drawing. Read the name to yourself. Repeat the pose name out loud. Practice the pose!
  • Create educational handouts for your students.
  • Get organized and save time. Use the drawings to document yoga sequences, save them on your computer and print them out. No need to re-create each posture drawing or each sequence the next time you need it.

Yoga Pose Drawings are a great educational resource for yoga students, teachers and professionals. Use them for handouts, for your own yoga sequence designs and practice, class notes and teaching aids. (For specific terms of use, please see our License Agreement.)

3 Yoga Poses from Sun Salutation

Cobra and Downward Dog PosesP.S. In case you’re curious … why 108 poses? The number 108 has spiritual significance across many different cultures and is considered a sacred number in yoga. Malas (meditation beads) have 108 beads plus a guru bead. Yogis sometimes do 108 sun salutations to honor something special (such as spring equinox). So in honor of our home yoga practice and in gratitude for the privilege of teaching, 108 yoga drawings it is!
