Yoga Assist Cards: Downward Facing Dog Edition

Embark on a Journey of Enhanced Teaching with Printable Yoga Assist Cards: Downward Facing Dog Edition – for Yoga Teachers, Trainers and trainees, Crafted by Yoga Teaching Artist, George Watts

 

 

Greetings and Namaste!

I’m George Watts (that’s me over there in doodle form), a British Wheel of Yoga teacher and the creator of the Online Yoga Lesson Planner. I’ve been teaching yoga since 2010 and have taught hundreds of yoga classes.

I have a passion for yoga lesson planning and love “yoga assist cards” because they are an invaluable learning resource for yoga teachers, trainers and trainees.

As an experienced yoga teacher, I’ve learned to enjoy the nuanced art of assisting students. Assists can transform a student’s practice from good to great. That’s why I’ve designed these cards – to empower myself and yoga teachers like you to offer yoga “assists” that elevate your students’ experience in the iconic Downward Facing Dog pose.

The “Yoga Assist Cards: Downward Facing Dog Edition” are more than just teaching aids – they are a testament to the symbiotic relationship between student and teacher. With these cards, you can infuse your classes with a new depth of connection and understanding.

 

9 Printable Yoga Assist Cards 

 

Inside this special edition, you’ll discover nine artistically curated cards, each illustrating one of the most effective assists I’ve used in my classes. These are tried and tested techniques that have resonated with both beginners and advanced practitioners alike.

Whether you’re a yoga teacher trainee eager to master the fundamentals or a seasoned instructor looking to refine your skills, these cards are designed to be an indispensable part of your teaching toolkit. Each card is a stepping stone to creating a supportive and transformative space for your students.

The cards are intuitively designed to facilitate easy learning and recall.

You can print them out in multiple sizes (A4, A5, or A6). I recommend using the A6 size to fit four cards on one A4 sheet.

Art Meets Yoga

 

One of the hallmark features of these cards is the artistic sketches that accompany each assist. As a yoga teaching artist, I’ve crafted these illustrations to capture the essence of each “assist” and to aid visual learners in remembering them. Art and yoga share a language of beauty and harmony, which, hopefully, these sketches embody.

Yoga Education

 

As yoga continues to evolve, so too should our methods of instruction. The “Yoga Assist Cards: Downward Facing Dog Edition” are a reflection of this evolution, blending the ancient with the modern, the artistic with the practical.

I’m thrilled to share these cards with you. I hope that they will not only make assists more memorable but also infuse joy into the learning process. Let’s raise the bar for yoga education together, one assist at a time.
