Why build yoga flashcards from your own material

Most yoga students hear the same terms in every class: asana, pranayama, drishti, and a long list of pose names in Sanskrit. Yoga flashcards are a practical way to learn that vocabulary, and they work best when the cards reflect your own teacher's language and sequence.

Pose names in English and Sanskrit, with the meaning of each word
Alignment cues from your teacher's handout turned into quick recall questions
Breathing terms and their basic technique, such as ujjayi and nadi shodhana
Cards for contraindications and common modifications, so you remember when to adjust

Example beginner yoga flashcards for common poses

What does the Sanskrit word asana mean?A steady, comfortable seat or posture. In modern practice it refers to the physical yoga poses.

What does savasana translate to, and when is it done?Corpse pose, usually done at the end of practice to rest and let the body integrate the work.

What is Tadasana in English?Mountain pose, a standing position with feet grounded, weight even and the spine tall.

What is pranayama?Breath regulation practices, from prana (life energy) and yama (control or extension).

Which muscles does Bhujangasana (cobra) mainly work?The spinal extensors of the back, with the chest and shoulders opening as the upper body lifts.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload your teacher's handout, training manual or photos of a pose chart and get cards that match the wording your class uses.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know fade into longer gaps, so pose names and Sanskrit terms stay with you between classes.

Study anywhere

Review in the browser on your phone or laptop before practice, and export to Anki or PDF on a paid plan.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or image of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the cards

Check the generated fronts and backs, and edit any cue that does not match how your teacher explains the pose.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck with spaced repetition so you revisit each term right before you are likely to forget it.

If you were hoping for a ready-made printable deck, a generic one will rarely match the poses your class actually teaches. Generating cards from your own handouts, class notes or photos of a pose chart gives you a deck that fits the style you practice.

Start with the names and cues that come up most often, then add cards as new poses appear in your sequence. Review a few minutes each day rather than cramming the night before a workshop.

Frequently asked questions

How many yoga flashcards should I make for a beginner class?

Start with the poses and Sanskrit names your teacher uses most often, then add cards as new ones appear in class. A smaller deck you review daily will do more than a large one you never open.

What should the back of a yoga flashcard say?

Keep it to the pose's English and Sanskrit names, one key alignment cue, and a common modification if there is one. Short answers are easier to recall during spaced review.

Can I export yoga flashcards to Anki?

Yes, exporting to Anki is included with the Plus plan, which also covers PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan to try this?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start.
