My Yoga Routine Explained: A Fun Yoga Doodle Cartoon In George’s Yoga Teacher Diary
Greetings, my lovely Yogis, Yoginis, and Yoga teachers. I’m George Watts, a BWY yoga teacher and creator of the online Yoga Lesson Planner.
Shhhh, don’t tell anyone this…
I’m a prolific doodler.
Until recently, I’ve kept most of my Yoga Teacher Doodles locked away in my Doodle Diary.
Doodling has been my secret hobby for years. But I had a hunch that maybe my fellow Yoga teachers, especially new ones, might like to peer into a Yoga Teacher’s Doodle Diary.
I can think of no better way to pry into the mind of a Yoga Teacher than to flip through their diary, especially if that diary is full of doodles.
Here is a doodle from my “yoga diary”…
What My Yoga Routine Is Actually Based On: George’s Doodle
“My noble intention when embarking on a yoga session entails 90-minutes of BLOOD, TOIL, TEARS, and SWEAT on a yoga mat in my garden surrounded by trees, flowers and all things “nature”. The reality is 90-seconds of SOFA YOGA while watching funny cat videos on Youtube.” – George Watts
After that doodle, I doodled this…
In the next section, I cover my “sofa yoga philosophy” in a video…while sitting on my sofa.

The Next Best Thing To Sofa Yoga…Chakra Chair Yoga Card Deck
When I’m not doodling in my Yoga Teacher journal, you can probably catch me in the act of doodling a yoga card deck into reality, like this Chakra Chair Yoga Card Deck.
Chakra Chair Yoga Card Deck
The Chakra Chair Yoga Card Deck is a transformative tool designed for yogis of all levels, especially those seeking a gentle, accessible practice.
This beautifully illustrated 52-card deck combines the wisdom of the chakra system with the ease of chair yoga, offering a unique way to balance your energy centres while staying grounded and supported.
Each card features a chair yoga pose aligned with one of the seven chakras, complete with clear instructions and chakra-focused affirmations. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of the chakras, find a nurturing practice for yourself or your students, or simply explore a creative approach to yoga, this Chakra Chair Yoga Card Deck is the perfect companion.
Ideal for yoga teachers, beginners, and anyone seeking more energy flow in their life. This card deck was so popular that I created the Chakra Chair Yoga Expansion Deck with another 52 chair yoga exercises.
Next up, is my humorous Toilet Yoga Card Deck: Bend Stretch & Flush…

Toilet Yoga Card Deck
Sometimes I get the urge to do something really silly.
When sitting on the toilet one day, I thought it would be fun to have a toilet yoga card deck by the toilet roll. So, I spent the next month creating the Toilet Yoga Card Deck: Bend Stretch & Flush.
Yep, you heard that right.
I’m bringing yoga to the bathroom because why should your body get all zen only when you’re perched on a chair? The loo is where the real magic happens! With this deck, your restroom will become a yogic rest-room.
Each card has been lovingly adapted from my world famous (okay…kinda famous) Chakra Chair Yoga Card Deck. We’ve swapped the chair for a toilet and sprinkled in some toiletry-themed humour, from toilet rolls to plungers, to make your practice flush with fun. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just looking for a new way to kill time during your “me” moments, these cards will guide you to find your inner peace while finding… well, relief.
Next up, is my conclusion.
George’s Conclusion
In conclusion, my fellow yogis, the trick in life is to find ways to not take life too seriously, and that’s doubly true when it comes to doodling in your “Yoga Teacher Diary”, or practising yoga when sitting on the toilet.
I highly recommend that you keep a notebook for all your yoga teaching ideas. I recommend abandoning the “text writing” part of the brain and allowing the “doodling” part to escape and unleash creativity locked within.
And oh yes, I almost forgot…
