The Yoga Poster

Designed by Yogis with decades of experience, The Yoga Poster began as a personal project to consolidate much of the reading, learning, thinking and questioning over the last decade from both teachers and students of yoga. With so many aspects to the practice, it is challenging to remember, let alone explain, how everything fits together without having to dig through books and notepads. The Yoga Poster is a diagram that can be hung on the wall that captures, concisely, all the major aspects of yoga in a way that is pleasing to look at and: • expresses the main philosophical concepts behind yoga,• differentiates and covers the major paths, traditions and styles,• explains the relevance of major historical periods and texts,• describes the particular actions you do and the relevant terminology you hear and• places everything within a cohesive, easy to follow metaphor centered on a stylized banyan tree (a tropical fig tree sacred in yoga literature).
