Meet the Asana Expansion Deck

  • Add on

    It extends, it does not replace

    The numbering continues from the Yoga Deck rather than restarting at 1, so both decks work as one and nothing you already own goes stale.

  • New only

    No repeats, no repetition cards

    Unlike the Expansion Deck, there are no duplicate poses in here. All 71 asanas are new to the range.

  • Breathe

    Pranayama enters the sequence

    Six breathing cards, each with its own benefits, so a flow can open or close with breath rather than only with asana.

Your first deck does not become redundant

The cards continue from 83, where the Yoga Deck stops. Shuffle the two together and nothing collides, nothing repeats, and nothing you already own goes stale.

Yoga Deck card 81, Fetal Pose Yoga Deck card 82, Namaste Asana Expansion card 83, Seated cat cow Asana Expansion card 84, Balancing table with knee to nose flow

Whatever you practice today, there is something in here you have not tried

  • Can't face another sun salutation?

    Then switch it up with moon salutations instead. Card 87, and it flows as a whole sequence.

  • Getting bored of Warrior 1?

    Then give the humble warrior a go, or the twisted reverse warrior sitting three cards along from it.

  • Mastered your balance in half moon pose?

    Take the intensity up a notch with the revolved half moon, and the airplane pose next to it.

  • Practicing the same flow week after week?

    Shuffle these 71 cards into your Yoga Deck and the number of sequences you can build stops being a limit.

No matter your level of experience, you will find new positions to mix up your warm-up, standing flows, seated sequences and cool-down, with postures drawn from every asana category in the range.

Create infinite fresh flows with brand new asanas

For the first time we made a deck solely of new poses and variations, to use alongside the PPB deck. Most of the shapes in here are the ones you and other PlayPauseBe'ers asked for. Pick what you came for.

Unite your body and mind with pranayamas

Six breathing techniques, each with its own benefit indications printed on the card.

  • De-stressing
  • Heating
  • Calming
  • Focus
  • Nervous system
  • Balance
  • Metabolism
  • Energizing
Kapalbhati and Nadi Shodhana

Six techniques, calming and energizing. Kapalbhati is a heating, cleansing breath that suits an energizing morning flow. Nadi Shodhana balances the nervous system and settles a slow evening practice before sleep.

Each card carries its own benefit indications, so the breathwork can be themed the same way the poses are.

Who this deck is really for

Anyone whose self-practice has started to repeat itself, and anyone who wants breath in the sequence rather than beside it.

  • If you already own the Yoga Deck

    The cards continue from 83, so the two decks are one deck. 153 poses to draw a sequence from, and the referencing system stays intact.

  • If you build your own flows

    New shapes in every category means a warm-up, a standing flow, a seated section and a cool-down that do not repeat last week's.

  • If you want breath in your practice

    Six pranayamas with their own benefit indications, so the breathwork matches the theme of the sequence rather than sitting beside it.

  • If you teach

    Fresh material for class themes, with cueing and Sanskrit printed on every card and eight advanced asanas for your own practice.

Same system. New vocabulary.

How will the Asana Expansion Deck elevate your self-practice?

More sequencing ideas and inspiration than before, and aspects of traditional practice often left out of modern yoga, so what happens on the mat goes deeper.

  • Enjoy 71 NEW yoga poses in your self-practice, spanning across all 9 categories
  • Challenge yourself with new variations of traditional yoga poses like revolved half moon and airplane pose
  • Learn how to control your energy, balance your nervous system and focus your mind through your breath
  • Strengthen the connection between your body and mind and regulate your prana by combining asana with pranayama
  • Relish the increased inspiration and motivation you will feel, and look forward to getting on your mat each day again
Because the numbering carries on from the first deck, I can pull cards from both without re-learning anything. That is the part I did not expect. My teaching moved beyond the studio.

Limited edition?

We would like it to be permanently available, but we cannot guarantee it. As the range grows, some decks are produced as one-off runs proportioned to demand rather than kept in continuous stock.

If it is showing as available, that is the moment to take it.

A deck built for sequencing, and the movement it started

Built with the PlayPauseBe community, from the poses they asked for most. If your practice has started repeating itself, this is the deck that ends that.

    I had reached the point of running the same three sequences on repeat. Shuffling these into my Yoga Deck fixed that in a week. The moon salutation card alone changed what my evening practice looks like.

    New material for class themes, which is what I actually needed. Because the numbering carries on from the first deck I can pull cards from both without re-learning the referencing system. The revolved lunges have gone straight into my Thursday class.

    The pranayama cards are the part I did not expect to use and now use most. Kapalbhati before a morning flow, Nadi Shodhana at night. Having the benefits printed on the card is what made me try them at all.

How to use the deck

  1. Shuffle it in

    Mix the new cards into your Yoga Deck, or lay the deck out on its own. The numbering runs on from 83, so nothing collides.

  2. Work through the categories

    Warm up, standing, balance, backbends, inversions, planks, seated, advanced, slow down. Forward through the deck is a session.

  3. Open or close with breath

    Pick a pranayama card that matches the intention: Kapalbhati for an energizing morning flow, Nadi Shodhana to come down in the evening.

  4. Or skip the planning

    Sequencing suggestions are in the manual, and the Asana Expansion Guidebook adds 15 sequences already built for you.

Questions, answered

Is this deck suitable for beginners?
Yes. The Asana Expansion Deck suits all levels, including absolute beginners. You get short cues and visual instructions on the cards, with longer explanations and contraindications for each pose in the manual. An intensity icon shows the difficulty of every pose, so you can start with the gentle ones and leave the advanced asanas to the side until you feel more confident.
Do I need the Yoga Deck to use this one?
No. The Asana Expansion Deck works on its own as a complete practice, since it spans all nine categories from warm-up to slow-down. It is designed as an add-on though: the numbering continues from the Yoga Deck rather than restarting at 1, so if you own both you are choosing from 153 poses with one referencing system.
How is this different from the Expansion Deck?
The Expansion Deck contains copies of the most-used poses plus intention cards, so you can lay out longer sequences. The Asana Expansion Deck contains no repeats and no repetition cards at all: 71 asanas that are new to the range, plus 6 pranayama cards.
Is this deck suitable for yoga teachers?
Absolutely. 32.5% of our customers are yoga instructors. You get inspiration for class themes through benefits and chakras, faster class planning, sequences that are easy to memorize thanks to the visual content, and the cueing and Sanskrit names on every card. If you already have the first deck, this one keeps you from teaching the same old flows, and there are eight advanced asanas like turtle and flying splits for your own practice.
What are the pranayama cards for?
Six breathing techniques, a mix of calming and energizing, each with its own physical benefits printed on the card: improved digestion, better lung function, lowered blood pressure. If you are theming a sequence around a benefit you can pick the pranayama that matches. Kapalbhati suits an energizing morning flow, Nadi Shodhana a slow evening practice before sleep.
How do I know the sequence I made is right for me?
Contraindications for each posture are included in the manual, so if you have an existing injury or health concern you can check before you sequence. Unlike the first deck, sequencing suggestions live in the manual rather than on the cards, because on this deck they would have taken up space the poses needed.
Is this a limited edition?
We would like it to be permanently available, but we cannot guarantee it. As the range grows, some decks are produced as one-off runs proportioned to demand rather than kept in continuous stock. If it is showing as available, that is the moment to take it.
What is Asana Academy Vol 2?
A comprehensive online course covering every pose in this deck in detail: in-depth instruction of all 71 asanas, variations to make each one harder and modifications to make it more accessible, the common alignment mistakes to avoid, and sequencing tips. PlayPauseBreathe is its counterpart for the breathwork, with video instruction of all 6 pranayamas, yogic cleansing techniques and guided meditations.
Where do you ship from and what does it cost?
Orders ship worldwide from warehouses in Dallas, Glasgow and Venlo. No customs fees for the US, EU or UK. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
What if it is not for me?
15-day money-back guarantee. If anything arrives defective or damaged through no fault of yours, we replace it free of charge.
