Lupine Studios partnered with Soul Yoga to create a cohesive suite of 17 illustrations for their yoga teacher training handbook. Blending anatomical precision with artistic clarity, these visuals support future instructors in understanding muscular engagement, energetic anatomy, and the nuanced details of mudra practice. First developed in 2020, the illustrations continue to be used in each annual training cohort.
Anatomical Illustration for Yoga Education
To support anatomy education within the training program, we developed 10 raster illustrations in Adobe Photoshop highlighting muscular activation in foundational poses. These include Halfway Lift, Plank Pose, Mountain Pose, Rabbit Pose, Half Moon Pose, Horse Pose, and Cat–Cow.
Each image required a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology, as well as consultation with yoga and anatomy professionals to ensure accuracy. Our approach balanced scientific integrity with clear visual hierarchy, emphasizing primary muscle groups without overwhelming the learner. The final artwork was carefully styled to align with existing handbook illustrations, creating a seamless and unified educational resource.
Energy Anatomy & Branded Visual Language
In addition to the muscular anatomy series, we created seven vector illustrations: one focused on energy anatomy and the chakra system, and six depicting specific hand mudras used in practice and meditation.
These illustrations were designed in a rich purple palette to reflect Awake to My Soul’s brand identity. Clean vector linework ensures scalability for print and digital formats, while maintaining clarity and elegance consistent with the tone of the training program.
