Art of Asana

Art of Asana: An Illustrated Workbook for Learning and Teaching Yoga is a comprehensive, hands-on resource designed for yoga students, teacher trainees, and teachers seeking a deeper, more embodied understanding of yoga asana.

Organized by pose category and color-coded for easy reference, this 264-page workbook presents yoga postures using both their English and traditional Sanskrit names, complete with pronunciation guides, hand-drawn illustrations, and clear step-by-step instructions. Each pose includes teaching cues, benefits, contraindications, and practical insights to support safe, confident practice and effective teaching.

Designed as more than a reference guide, Art of Asana encourages reflection and self-inquiry. Dedicated journaling space accompanies each pose, inviting practitioners to explore personal experience and awareness. Beginner tips, visualizations, historical and philosophical context, calls to action, and thoughtful prompts help bridge physical practice with deeper understanding.

Created in response to a need identified during yoga teacher training, this book blends structure with creativity and study with self-discovery. Ideal for yoga teacher training programs, continuing education, or independent study, Art of Asana supports a more intentional, informed, and personal approach to yoga practice and teaching.
