Why Yoga Stick Figures?

The beauty of yoga stick figures is that they are a quick and fun way to visually illustrate what the yoga poses look like. This can help people to remember the poses better. Yoga stick figures are a great visual compliment to verbal explanations and can greatly help support understanding of the mechanics of the asanas. Yoga Stick Figures are great to use for your Yoga Class Lesson Planning.

Despite their simplicity, yoga stick figures can be very expressive and a lot more fun than just a photo of the yoga pose.

However, not everyone enjoys drawing, so after many requests I now offer my downloadable yoga stick figure collections for instant download for you to use for any non-commercial use that you want. (See Terms of Use below).

Who are these downloadable yoga stick figures for?

These downloadable yoga stick figures are for anyone who is teaching, studying, learning to teach or practicing yoga and who wants yoga stick figure images to use on their computers and devices. They can be used for any personal use, from creating Yoga Class Lesson Plans and Sequence Sheets, to making your own yoga flash cards, birthday cards for friends or personal t-shirt designs etc. For inspiration see the lists of ideas for using the downloadable yoga stick figures on the Yoga Stick Figure webpage.

A cheap, fast way to make your own Yoga Class Lesson Plans and Sequence Sheets. Great for those who have trouble drawing or who are looking for a good reference on how to draw yoga stick figures.

What is included in the download

All the yoga stick figure images are supplied at a high resolution of 300 dpi and saved as both.jpgs and transparent .png files. These images can be placed directly into MicroSoft Word, Canva, Apple Pages or other page layout software on your computer or tablet, or can even be opened in Photoshop, for you to use as you wish.

The image downloads now include 3 sizes: an extra small size (XSML) which is designed for you to place at 100% into your Yoga Class Lesson Planning templates into a Word Processing document (such as MicroSoft Word) or even a Page Layout program. Two free Yoga Class Lesson Planning Templates are included in SETS 3, 4 & 5, and can also be purchased separately from the Store. There are also seperate folders of images for print or web design use – a small (SML) and a large (LRG). The small size (SML) is ideal for Web and Social Media use The large (LRG) size is best used for print artwork ideas that you might want to professionally print, such as making your own yoga gift cards, yoga flash cards or any promotional material for your yoga studio or personal use.

To make finding the correct yoga stick figure easy for you, each image is named with the asana name and file type and are saved into folders according to the asanas category or form, for example Samasthiti or Backbends, Forward bends etc.

Terms of use for your yoga stick figure image downloads

By default a General Licence for use of our downloadable yoga stick figures is granted for non-commercial personal use only. However, don't let that frighten you! All that really means is that the only thing you CANNOT do is resell them (or sell anything you make from them) or share or re-distribute the images to others. You CAN still create Yoga Class Lesson Plans and handouts with them to give to your students and clients. You CAN also create material such as yoga teacher manuals and give them (not sell) to your students. In fact, you can create yoga posters, flyers, web banners, logos, and even yoga flash cards or anything else you can think of to use the yoga stick figures for, as long as you are NOT selling them commercially.

If you intend to use the yoga stick figures for commercial work, which includes anything you want to sell or use for large advertising campaigns etc, using one or more of the images, then you will need to purchase an Extended Licence. The Extended Licence is for the sole use of the purchaser only, and does not buy the right to distribute and/or share the images with others. To buy an Extended Licence just click the radio button option at checkout to add the extra cost to your purchase.
