The Mini Yoga Card Deck: With 101 Asana Sanskrit Pronunciations
Hello and Namaste!
I’m George Watts (yep, that’s me in doodle form), a BWY Yoga teacher and the mastermind behind the Online Yoga Lesson Planner. I’ve been teaching yogis since 2010, 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 told my students that to join my classes, they had to get these Mini Yoga Cards. I even offer the first class for free and say:
“If you want to come to my next class, you need to get the Mini Yoga Card Deck and bring it 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 cards, turning practice into a game and encouraging them to bring that fun into their daily yoga routines.
9 Reasons To Get My Mini Yoga Card Deck: With 101 Yoga Asana Sanskrit Pronunciations

Designed by a yoga-teaching artist (yep, that’s me), these cards blend anatomical accuracy with just the right amount of zen flair.
Reason 2.
Yoga For All: From Couch Potatoes to Pretzels
Perfect for beginners, pros, and everyone in between. Need a quick stretch between meetings? Grab a card. Craving a full session? Lay them all out and get your flow on.
Reason 3.
Talk the Yoga Talk
Each card schools you on the Sanskrit name and how to say it—so you can impress your friends with your fancy pronunciation.
Reason 4.
Numbered for Your Pleasure
Organised by number for easy selection and sequencing, because who doesn’t love a good system?
Reason 5.

You’ll not only stretch your body but also your mind by learning how to create your own yoga sequences and pronounce the Sanskrit correctly.
Reason 6.

Reason 7.

Reason 8.

Mini Yoga Card Layout
Sometimes the best things really do come in small packages—like diamonds, chocolates, and these mini yoga cards! The card layout packs a punch, fitting 8 cards onto a single A4 sheet of paper. It’s like a yoga class in your pocket… or at least on one very efficient piece of paper.
Each card has the following five features:
- Numbered for easy learning
- Arranged by English name
- Stick-figure with anatomically correct illustration
- Sanskrit for the pose
- Sanskrit pronunciation for the pose

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!”
