Helpful descriptions, poor pictures,
By
This review is from: The Yoga II Deck: 50 Poses and Meditations for Body, Mind and Spirit (Cards)
I found this deck of cards helpful insofar as i am able to select a set of cards that i want to use for a Yoga workout. But the little hand drawn sketches are not very good. I have books in which the pictures are much clearer, an important thing in Yoga because the minute details of each position matter a good deal. The text, on the other hand, is better, and the cards on various breathing and meditation techniques are good [because they do not require pictures].

Enjoyable and useful, but a bit of an odd mix,
By S. Mann - Published on Amazon.com
I had a very introductory exposure to yoga when I purchased the Prenatal Yoga Deck. I liked it so much, I thought I'd check out the regular yoga decks after my baby was born.I really like the packaging of this item. It's sturdy, small, and can go anywhere with you. The line drawings of the poses give enough of a picture without getting too complex. For the most part, the directions for each pose are easy to follow. I like the ease the deck format allows in developing my own routines. You can use the poses you like and skip the ones you don't (or the poses you can't do), better still it's easy to flip through and find cards that feel appropriate at the time (more soothing or relaxing poses at bed time or times of stress and energizing poses in the morning when I'm trying to wake up). As a new and working mom I don't always have the time for an extensive routine. Getting 20 minutes to myself is a rare thing. I bought _Yoga Mom, Buddah Baby_ by Jyothi Larson, and while I think it's full of great photos and information, I generally don't have time to do the routines. I hate to start a routine if I can't finish it. With the deck, I feel okay just grabbing the cards I have time for. My only complaint is that this is a bit of an odd mix of poses. As this is the Yoga Deck II, I'd expect more complicated poses, which there are. There are also some very easy, very beginner poses but no real intermediate poses. I'm not saying that you shouldn't combine the complexity in your routines, just that as a set the easy poses seem out of place. I also found a couple of the descriptions inconsistent and difficult to follow, which means you may have trouble figuring a pose out if you are completely unfamiliar it. The pigeon was particularly bad in this regard. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Yoga Deck II is great!,
By Anna Ostendorf - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Yoga II Deck: 50 Poses and Meditations for Body, Mind and Spirit (Cards)
The Yoga Deck is really great for a number of reasons...- Unlike a clunky book, the cards are easy to handle and refer to during yoga practice. - Unlike a yoga video/DVD, the cards allow one to go at one's own pace. - It's easy to create a yoga routine tailored to one's particular needs at the moment. - If one only has a few minutes to devote to yoga, it's easy to simply pull one card, or maybe two, and really focus on those specific poses. - The Yoga Deck is compact and easy to transport, and since yoga requires no more than a little space it's excellent for travel. I own both the original Yoga Deck and Yoga Deck II and absolutely love them! 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful

A lot of the Same,
By E. Blaim - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Yoga II Deck: 50 Poses and Meditations for Body, Mind and Spirit (Cards)
I had the first yoga deck and thought I would expand and buy this one, for some more positions. I was quite disappointed when I found that a lot of the cards where actually the same as the first deck.(and a few names that were the same that didn't match up with the position and vis versa, which when trying to combine positions from both is also confusing and a bit annoying.) |
