yoga cards are a good idea, ...but not these,
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic Yoga for Everybody: 84 Cards with Accompanying Handbook [With 84 Color-Coded Cards] (Hardcover)
What a great idea! So, I bought the cards and opened the nicely marketed package to find hard to understand illustrations and non-descript type. This product could be helpful for the ultimate beginner, but I would not even recommend it for them. I was very disappointed with the content of the cards and the intangibility of the text. What was the purpose and where is the teaching?

disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic Yoga for Everybody: 84 Cards with Accompanying Handbook [With 84 Color-Coded Cards] (Hardcover)
I read the little book it came with, which I did like, but the cards I did not. Very good idea, but the illistrations are hard to understand. And the directions don't coincide with the pictures. I am going to try Tim Clark's yoga cards, "create your own yoga program."

Make up your own rules to use the cards,
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic Yoga for Everybody: 84 Cards with Accompanying Handbook [With 84 Color-Coded Cards] (Hardcover)
84 cards, each one illustrating an asana (posture), are classified by color and number. For example, the "2" orange cards are side bends, and the "4" greens are back bends. The slim book that accompanies the asana cards instructs the user to select one card from each category in order to design a series. However, this instruction is contradicted a few pages later by a "rule" that says to perform forward bends ("5" blue) after back bends, twists, and side bends. The cards also provide alternate postures, usually involving more movement while in the posture. This was somewhat different than I am used to. (Maybe this is a German thing? ) The chapters in the bok on breathing exercises and mudras (hand positions) are clear and helpful.
