For beginners, the prospect of going to a studio and taking a yoga lesson in a group can feel pretty daunting, but with 'Namasketch' its as simple as watching cartoons. The website uses cute black and white illustrations to show off some of the most basic yoga poses, letting beginners learn from the comfort of their homes.
By no means is Namasketch designed to completely replace lessons from an actual yoga instructor. It only offers ten poses, and those ten are for absolute beginners. However, the site is a great entryway, since it's simple to follow along with thanks to simple yet detailed illustrations depicting the various positions.
Beyond the pose illustrations, the site features narration that provides extra tips and instruction on how to hold each pose correctly.
