<P><B>FlexMax</B> originated from the needs of Yoga teachers. Time and again they need images showing body postures (Asanas)
for course scripts, student handouts, yoga class minutes, or publications.
<P>
<P>Shooting photographs is expensive. Producing good drawings is difficult. CDs with lots of Asana images are available on the market,
but as a rule, they don't contain exactly what is needed in a particular context.
<P>FlexMax solves this problem. It is the perfect tool for producing line-drawings of body postures. FlexMax is based on an Asana representation scheme
used by T.K.V. Desikachar and other yoga teachers. This representation scheme combines good readability with easy drawing.
<H3>It's very simple ...</H3>
<P>... to create a posture line drawing using FlexMax:<BR>

You remember that in the past you drew the "Wheel" and stored it as "Chakrasana"?
Just open the FlexMax database and enter "c" in the name column - now you see only those images whose names begin with "c".
All drawings are listed by name and image so that you can recognize them immediately.
