The library
Nine hundred postures,
one visual language.
Most yoga apps assemble their libraries from whatever imagery they can license, which means the instructor, the framing and the light change from posture to posture. Yours would have to relearn what it is looking at every time. This library was drawn as one body of work.

Organisation
Nine families
Sequences are built from families rather than from a flat alphabetical list, because what a posture does matters more than what it is called.
Standing
Ground, align, build heat. Where a practice finds its base.
Standing balance
One point of contact. Attention becomes the stabiliser.
Seated & forward folds
Cooling, inward. The counterweight to everything that heats.
Twists
Wring and release. Classically, the preparation of the digestive fire.
Backbends
Open the front line. Warming, expansive, easy to overdo.
Hip openers
Slow tissue, slow work. Held long or not at all.
Inversions
Reverse the flow. Approached by degrees, never by ambition.
Core & arm balance
Strength as a means, not a display.
Restorative & supine
Supported, unhurried, closing. The part most people skip.
Detail
What each entry carries
- Sanskrit name, transliterated, with the English name beneath it
- A full-square illustration — nothing cropped through the head or the feet
- The family it belongs to and the direction it moves the body
- Which constitution it settles, and which it can aggravate
- Contraindications stated plainly rather than buried
