Level of Detail
In this book, I am showing all the postures with full detail. I sketch out the
position of the hands, feet and the head (by adding a nose pointing in the
direction of the gaze).

e can also sketch a simplified version without these details. ketching
this shorthand version is uicker and it is good enough when we just
want to remember a sequence of poses we are already quite familiar with.
simplified
It’s also possible to mi levels of detail within the same se uence,
and even within the same asana sketch. If we are sketching a familiar
posture with a new variation (for example the hand position), we sketch a
simplified version of the posture and then just add detail for the part that
is new. Mixing the level of detail in this way shifts the visual focus onto the
detailed part, which is great to highlight new or different elements.

practice or look at the sheet from my mat during down a list of posture names, you can visualise
practice when I get a bit lost. These sheets are the ow of the class while you plan it making it
perfect to use for self-practice when you travel, easy to bring the right types of asanas together
