Free Yoga Asana Stick Figures

During my diploma with the British Wheel of Yoga, I decided to try and create a database of yoga asanas in stick figure format for use when lesson planning. These are not anatomically accurate illustrations but offer a useful aide memoir as they also include the Sanskrit and English names. I have added some variations for popular asanas along with preparatory postures and modifications. The list is by no means complete but there are 237 images to use. Please feel free to copy and paste for lesson planning purposes only - not for commercial use.

If you would prefer to download a document with all the asanas catagorized into forward bend, back bend, twists etc.(to save copy and pasting 237 times!), please visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freeyogaasanastickfigures/

once you sign up, the document will be sent automatically - any problems email justine@yogawirral.co.uk
