Ayurveda is the ancient science of life, the sister science of yoga

While yoga guides you toward awareness and union, Ayurveda teaches you how to work with life itself: your energy, habits, environment, and daily rhythms.

VijnanamayaWisdom & insight

AnandamayaSpirit & soul

Your body and mind change day by day
The practice that served you last week may not be the one today asks for.
Context matters
Seasons, time of day, age and lifestyle all change what a practice does to you.
What feels good is not always what restores balance
Preference and need are different things. Ayurveda tells them apart.

Without Ayurvedic insight, even a good practice can create imbalance

Certain practices nourish you, while others take more than they give
What once felt right now feels subtly misaligned
Even with regular practice, familiar physical or mental patterns keep resurfacing

This isn't a failure of yoga. It's simply a lack of context and personalization. Ayurveda brings that missing layer back.

You don't need to study Ayurveda for years. We found a way to make its wisdom truly practical and immediately accessible.

81 illustrated cards. The first deck of its kind ever created.

No rigid rules. No fragmented teachings. Just clear, integrated guidance you can apply immediately.

Read
Read your current state
Body, energy and mind, as they actually are today rather than as you assume they are.
Recognize
Recognize imbalance early
Catch the pattern before it becomes depletion or burnout.
Choose
Choose what restores harmony
Practices that answer the state you are in, applied immediately.

The Ayurveda Yoga Deck weaves seven strands

01
Bodily constitution (Doshas)
To understand your current bodily and energetic tendency.
02
Layers of the body (Koshas)
To identify which layer needs attention today.
03
Physical postures (Asana)
To support the physical body with the right quality of movement.
04
Breathwork (Pranayama)
To direct and refine prana with precision.
05
Meditation and concentration
Practices to stabilize attention and inner clarity.
06
Yoga philosophy
To apply time-tested wisdom in a practical, non-intellectualised way.
07
Mantra practice
To consciously engage specific vibrational qualities.

→ Into one decision-making system for your practice and daily life.

Eleven categories, one coherent system

Every card carries its name in English and Sanskrit, the kosha it addresses, a focus phrase, and how to apply it on and off the mat.

How is your energy today?

This is the whole method in one move. Name the state you are actually in, and the deck tells you which layer is asking for attention and what to practice.

Vata excessManomaya · mental layer

Air is running the show

Scattered attention and a body that will not settle are vata signatures. The answer is not more movement, it is weight, rhythm and a slower breath.

What the deck hands you

Grounding asana
Slow pranayama
Mantra

No more random practices. No more working against your body.

How to use the deck

01
Check in
Ask yourself: how is my energy today? Do I feel restless, heavy, overheated, depleted or scattered?
02
Identify the imbalance
The deck helps you recognize which dosha or kosha is asking for attention, without overthinking or getting lost in theory.
03
Choose your practice
Select from yoga postures, breathwork, meditation, mantra or supportive rituals designed for your current state.
04
Integrate
Take the intention of your practice beyond the mat, into how you eat, move, rest, work and respond to life.

Practice from resonance, not habit

By bringing together doshas, koshas, asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, and yogic wisdom in one coherent system, the deck trains you to sense which layer of your being needs attention right now.

Over time, this cultivates refined inner listening: the ability to choose practices that align you with the right rhythm, frequency, and direction, on the mat and in life.

Build a short, effective practice in minutes
Avoid over-stimulating or dulling your system
Support physical vitality, mental clarity and emotional steadiness
Practice with purpose, rather than habit

Seamless use with every other PlayPauseBe deck

Rather than replacing your current practice, this deck acts as the Ayurvedic lens through which every other practice becomes more precise, supportive, and intelligent.

As a standalone practice
When you want clear, personalized guidance based on your current energy.
Alongside your other decks
Yin, Restorative, Kundalini or Vinyasa-based practices, chosen wisely.
At the beginning
To set the right intention and direction before you start.
At the end
To integrate and settle the effects of what you just practiced.
Throughout your day
Micro-practices that realign you with balance between other things.

For everyone

→ Beginner
Clear, accessible explanations that make complex concepts easy to grasp and apply immediately.
→ Experienced and teachers
Deeper insights, fresh perspectives, and practical frameworks to integrate Ayurveda more skilfully into personal practice and teaching.

Start where you are. Go as deep as you choose.

The deck helps you choose what to practice. The course teaches you why it works.

A complete toolkit: daily, intuitive practice paired with clear theoretical understanding and expert guidance, without turning Ayurveda into something rigid or overwhelming.

I have taught for twelve years and still guessed at what my body needed on a given morning. Being asked one plain question and handed three cards has changed how I open my own practice.

The koshas were an abstraction to me until they were printed on a card next to something I could actually do. I use it more as a decision tool than a study tool.

I bought it for the certification hours and kept it for the deck. Teaching a class themed by season rather than by pose has been the best change to my schedule this year.

Questions, answered

What is the Ayurveda Yoga Deck?

A set of 81 illustrated cards across 11 categories, and the first deck of its kind. It weaves bodily constitution (doshas), the layers of the body (koshas), asana, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy and mantra into one decision-making system, so you can choose how to practice, when to practice, and why.

Do I need to know anything about Ayurveda to use this deck?

Not at all. The deck is designed to be intuitive and accessible, whether you're completely new to Ayurveda or already familiar with its principles.

Can I use this deck if I don't practice yoga regularly?

Yes. The deck includes breathwork, meditation, mantras and lifestyle guidance that benefit anyone, yoga experience optional.

How long does a practice take?

That's up to you. You can do a single 5-minute practice or build a full 60-minute sequence. The deck adapts to your schedule and needs.

Is this suitable for yoga teachers?

Absolutely. Many teachers use this deck to personalize their own practice and to offer more nuanced, individualized guidance to students.

What makes this different from other yoga card decks?

This is the first deck to integrate the full spectrum of Ayurvedic wisdom, doshas, koshas, asana, pranayama, meditation and mantra, into one coherent system. It's not just poses; it's a complete decision-making framework.

Is there a certification available?

Yes. The certification bundle includes a 20-hour YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education) certification. The training expands on the principles presented in the deck and provides structured learning, integration and practical application.

Who is the YACEP training for?

It is ideal for yoga teachers seeking continuing education hours, as well as dedicated practitioners who want a deeper understanding of Ayurvedic principles and how to apply them confidently in practice and teaching.

Why is this a limited edition?

This is a new format and direction for us. Unlike our other decks, this one is more educational and reflective, focused on understanding energy patterns and Ayurvedic foundations. We are releasing it in a limited batch as a first edition. Future editions may evolve depending on feedback and demand.

Will this deck be reprinted?

This first edition is produced in limited quantity. If future versions are created, they may differ in structure or design based on what we learn from this release.

Will this deck be included in the Floga App?

No. This deck was intentionally designed as a physical, contemplative tool. Its purpose is not primarily to build digital yoga sequences, but to help you pause, reflect and understand your energy and patterns more deeply. The tactile experience of drawing and working with physical cards supports that in a way a digital format would not.

Is this a medical or diagnostic tool?

No. The deck is an educational and self-reflective tool inspired by Ayurvedic principles. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or replace professional medical or Ayurvedic consultation.

Can I combine this deck with other PlayPauseBe decks?

Yes. The Ayurveda Yoga Deck works beautifully alongside our other decks, it can help you decide which style of practice is most supportive on a given day.

Where do you ship from?

Orders ship worldwide from warehouses in Dallas, Glasgow and Venlo. No customs fees for the US, EU or UK. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
