The Mini Yoga Card Deck: With 101 Asana Sanskrit Pronunciations
Hello and Namaste!
I’m George Watts (that’s me in doodle form), a BWY Yoga teacher and creator of the Online Yoga Lesson Planner. I’ve taught 800+ yoga classes, and love stretching both bodies and imaginations.
Now, let’s talk mini yoga cards…
Not only do I respect the art of Sanskrit pronunciations, but I also believe practicing with these pint-sized cards adds a sprinkle of magic to your mat.
I tell my students that to join my yoga class, they have to get my Mini Yoga Cards.
I offer the first class for free and say:
“If you want to come to my next class, you need to get the Mini Yoga Cards and bring them along to class. Trust me, playing with these cards in class will get you hooked, and you’ll be practicing at home like a yoga guru. It’s the best gift I can give you!”
I give my students a dedicated 10 minutes at the end of each class to play with their mini yoga cards, turning practice into a game and encouraging them to bring that fun into their daily yoga routines.

With this bonus, I will give you six chair yoga lesson plans straight from my top-secret vault (just kidding, it’s actually from my Online Yoga Lesson Planner).
I’ve crafted these plans for a 6-week chair yoga course I taught in beautiful Wales, UK.
Each plan comes in three tasty versions:
- Short: Perfect for a quick glance in class, like yoga’s version of a snackable tweet.
- Long: An epic saga of chair yoga—perfect for practicing at home or impressing your one-on-one students with your endless wisdom.
- Stream: A video version for those who like their yoga lesson plan being morphed magically into a video stream.
Grab these plans and elevate your chair yoga sessions from “meh” to “wow!”
