While the cards can be used spontaneously, we suggest using them for planning group experiences.

While the use of playing cards and tarot decks dates back hundreds of years, using a deck of cards in yoga or meditation practice is a comparatively new practice. Use card decks in your yoga practice for inspiration, divination, instruction, and playfulness. If you teach yoga, having your students choose a card from a deck can create an opportunity for deepening contemplation and introspection. Additionally, students can use cards as cues for whether or not they want hands-on assists. In a home practice, cards can serve as an intention and guide for the practice and rest of the day. You can also draw a series of cards for the entire week to refine and plan your intentions, yoga sequences, or instruction.View All Sponsors ➞Yoga Books on Sale
