The Mark Stephens Yoga Sequencing Deck

Wonderful deck! The pictures are beautiful and nicely done. The information is clear and informative. There is information about the asanas and how to sequence them together for a routine that flows together nicely. It's a great companion to Mark Stephen's "Yoga Sequencing" book. I highly recommend this for yoga teachers and anyone that wants to deepen their practice and create their own yoga routines. It's especially great for visual learners like myself. I bought this for myself and I also gifted it to one of my close friends when she graduated from her 200 hour yoga teacher training. Edit: I I have now bought 3 copies of this deck. I bought a second one since I gave the first to my friend and then gifted the second to my yoga teacher trainer. She LOVED it and so did the other students in my class. At least 2 of them went home and bought it the same night they saw it. I'm not sure why there are any negative reviews about this deck.....the information is easy to read, there is both English and Sanskrit names of the asanas, and the pictures are impeccable. I really don't think a deck can get any more descriptive as this one or there wouldn't be any room on the cards. Once again, this deck is a winner and a very helpful visual aid.

Fantastic! Honestly, I wasn't really paying attention to the dimensions of these Yoga sequencing cards but was pleasantly surprised to see that they were larger than expected. The perfect size for me to lay them out on the ground while working on a flow for practice. Since I am a visual learner, this deck has been invaluable to me. The cards are made of quality card stock with a slightly glossy finish and features photos of asanas of varying levels of ease and difficulty. On the front of the card is the photo of the posture and in it's English and Sanskrit name. On the back side of the card, it provides detailed information on how to open and how to stabilize as well as provides counter poses to each posture. Extremely helpful! Although I have been taking Yoga on and off for about 8 years, now that I am planning on pursuing becoming a Yoga instructor, this takes away some of the intimidation of what to expect when I go for my RYT-200 training. Highly recommend these cards to every level of Yogi out there!

I teach yoga for a living but for my own home practice I like to use this deck to mix it up some on poses I want to work on... the description in my opinion does not even do it justice! The deck is amazing!!! So many cards of yoga poses broke up by color in what body part to work on! Literally genius and prob great for those studying yoga poses! I am 100% a fan of these! I’v had a few yoga card decks and this by far is the best!

Excellent set of asanas that describe what parts of the body are targeted. Also has descriptions for counter poses and good preparatory poses. The deck groups asanas according to standing, core, hips/legs, and inversion postures. It has both English and Sanskrit names. I bought these to help inspire sequencing since I'm a certified yoga teacher and it has been pretty helpful. There are even poses in this deck that I didn't learn in my training so that's awesome! I think it's very useful for someone very familiar with anatomy vocabulary otherwise one would need to look up some of the muscle groups on the cards. Definitely good for the yoga teacher looking for new inspiration but has a solid background with yoga and anatomical terms.

Sturdy materials. Printed and packaged well. Love the sanskrit names and detailed infomation for each pose. I wish the box had a way to stay closed. But these are great for any level.

I wanted to try yoga but didn't want to follow any sort of program or read a long book about charkas or muscle groups. All I need is a list of poses to try with pictures. This is perfect for that.

Disappointing I purchased these yoga cards specifically to help with sequencing, so I expected the pose classifications and terminology to be accurate. Unfortunately, I found errors that make me question the reliability of the product. For example, Vrikshasana (Tree Pose) is incorrectly classified as a backbend. I also found repeated words on the front of some of the cards, which suggests that the content was not properly proofread before publication. These may seem like minor mistakes, but they are not minor in a product that is intended to be used as a yoga sequencing guide. Teachers and students need to be able to trust that the information on the cards is accurate. The concept is good, but the execution needs significant improvement. A product like this should have been carefully reviewed and proofread by experienced yoga teachers before being released. I would not recommend relying on these cards as an accurate sequencing reference in their current form.

I'm really enjoying this deck! Great picture illustrations of the asanas, so much information and easy to comprehend. This is awesome for yoga teacher training and for someone that wants to know the benefits of each asana. I love that it included the booklet and the formal and informal names of the asanas. Example: Adho Mukha Svanasana Downward Facing Dog I'm so glad I found this deck!

I bought these a while ago and used them a lot when preparing my classes. I still refer to them for inspiration and guidance. I find these the best yoga cards compared to other decks.

Great book, could use better spine/ring spine as it is a reference book

Ich bin zertifizierte Yogalehrerin und war auf der Suche nach einem Arbeitsmittel zum besseren Sequenzieren von Yogaklassen. Marc Stephens ist ein großartiger Yogalehrer und Autor von verschiedenen Büchern im Bereich des Yoga. Dies ist ein tolles Kartendeck zur kreativen Erstellung neuer Yogasequenzen. Sehr schön gestaltet, die Asanas sind in Kategorien unterteilt (arm balances, standing poses, etc), die wiederum zur einfacheren Handhabung in unterschiedlichen Farben gekennzeichnet sind. Des weiteren ist neben dem englischen Namen auch der Name in Sanskrit eines jeden Asanas angegeben. Auf der Rückseite der Karten befinden sich kurze Angaben über die Asanas sowie darüber, wie diese in einer Sequenz kombiniert werden können (counterposes, etc.).

Scritto benissimo, ricco di foto, assolutamente da avere

英語とサンスクリット語でアーサナ名があり、後ろのアーサナに関するポイントを見ながら英語の勉強含め良い買い物となりました。 非常に細かいところで、何でこの写真を選んだのかな？と思うところもありますが、多少ヨガをかじっている人にとってはアーサナの理解に影響するものでもなく、問題ないと思います。
