The cards are divided to 11 essential asana classifications.
The Dipika Yoga Cards are an invaluable aid for memorizing āsana and viewing sequences clearly both for self-practice and class participation.
Knowledge of the āsana names is an integral part of Iyengar yoga. It is essential for teachers and enables full participation of students. In general, knowing the meaning and origin of an āsana name enriches the experience of practicing yoga.
By using Dipika Yoga Cards, the names can quickly be committed to memory and improve understanding of how the poses interlink. They could be used for developing a skillful personal practice or a lesson plan.
The cards may also be used to view the evolution of a single pose as a course advances. Selecting cards of the same color and close plate numbers enables the viewer to see the vital preparation needed before a final pose. This helps gain an understanding of why some poses are classified in groups that may seem unrelated.
Selecting cards from the range of classifications in the advised order enables the building of a suitable sequence. The importance of correct sequencing is not to be underestimated. It applies to any process of transformation within the practitioner, be it physical, mental or spiritual.
The cards can be used for memory games, self-testing and a quick reference for further inquiry in “Light On Yoga” or “Yoga A Gem For Women”.
