Less mystical than its reputation

Kundalini Yoga combines targeted postures, kriyas, breathwork, meditation and mantra to clear the energy blocks that stress, fear and self-doubt create. Rooted in ancient tradition, and far more accessible than it is usually made to sound.

It is not what you were told
Free of dogma, outdated rules and lineage politics. What is left is a set of techniques that do what they claim.
Energy, not just effort
Breath, bandha and mantra move energy to where it is needed. That is a different lever from stretching or strengthening.
Fifteen minutes counts
One kriya or one meditation is a complete practice. The deck is built for the day you actually have.

All 89, category by category

The card numbers run 1 to 86: card 15 comes as 15A, 15B, 15C and 15D, which is what makes 89 cards.

Main Components
cards 1–15D
Pranayama, kumbhakas, bandhas, mantras and drishti. The building blocks Kundalini practice is assembled from, and the ones every kriya draws on.
Kriyas
cards 16–22
Seven complete sequences, each targeted at a specific outcome and printing the exact card numbers it calls for, in order.
Meditations
cards 23–33
Eleven meditations, some combined with breath, hand gestures and mantra. Stand-alone, or the close of a kriya.
Classical Warm-Up
cards 34–54
The warm-ups in a logical order, up to Sun Salutations. Use the whole sequence as a practice of its own, or take a few to open a session.
More Kundalini-Specific Poses
cards 55–86
The dynamic, rhythmic postures that make this deck Kundalini: movement with a breath pattern or a mantra, unifying body, mind and spirit.

Unlock your energy

89 beautifully illustrated cards: pranayama, bandhas, mantras and drishti, 7 kriyas, 11 meditations, the classical warm-up and the Kundalini-specific poses.

A kriya card tells you which cards to lay out

Kriyas are pre-designed sequences that combine posture, breathwork, mantra and meditation for a specific result. Each of the 7 kriya cards prints the exact card numbers of the practices it calls for, so a full kriya is laid out in seconds.

The front names the kriya and what it is for. The back prints the card numbers to lay out, in order.

No planning, no guessing which practice follows which. Pull the kriya, pull its cards, and practice.

Every card works on one of the five koshas

Yoga describes the self as five nested layers. The deck is built so that a balanced practice touches each of them, rather than only the layer you can see in a mirror.

01
The Physical Body
Annamaya Kosha
reached through warm-ups and postures
02
The Energy Body
Pranamaya Kosha
reached through breathwork and energy flow
03
The Mental Body
Manomaya Kosha
reached through meditations and mantras
04
The Wisdom Body
Vijnanamaya Kosha
reached through techniques for clarity and intuition
05
The Bliss Body
Anandamaya Kosha
reached through what the other four make room for

A non-dogmatic approach

Kundalini Yoga is older than the controversies attached to its modern introduction in the West. This deck keeps the practice and leaves the rest: no dogma, no outdated rules, no lineage to join. Just kriyas, mantras and meditations that work.

No lineage to join
Nothing here asks you to adopt a belief, a wardrobe or a teacher. The practices stand on their own.
Plain language
Sanskrit where it is the real name of a thing, English everywhere else. No mystification for its own sake.
Rooted, not invented
These techniques come from ancient yogic tradition, which is older than the twentieth-century controversies attached to them.

Some benefits you'll get from the Kundalini Deck

01
Energy you can direct
Breathwork, bandhas and drishti that move energy to where it is needed, instead of leaving it stuck.
02
Chakra alignment
Every card names the chakras it addresses, so a sequence can be built around one center at a time.
03
Kriyas, ready to go
Seven complete sequences with their card numbers printed on them. No planning required.
04
Fifteen minutes is enough
A single kriya, pranayama or meditation is a practice. No screen, no class time.
05
Teachable anywhere
Clear cues for every mantra and breath, so you can bring Kundalini into a class that is not one.
06
Clarity that holds
Eleven meditations built on concentration, breath and mantra, for focus that survives the day.

What you leave with

New to Kundalini
Nothing is assumed and nothing is mystified. Every practice is explained on the card in plain language, step by step.
Already practicing or teaching
The kriya reference system and the kosha framing are what most teachers have not met before, and they transfer straight into class.

01
Direct your own energy
Become aware of where energy sits and how to move it, rather than hoping a class does it for you.
02
Go past the physical
Work the energy, mental and wisdom bodies, not only the one you can see in a mirror.
03
Practice without planning
Seven kriyas that name their own cards, so a complete sequence takes seconds to lay out.
04
Steady your focus
Eleven meditations built on concentration, breath and mantra, for clarity that lasts past the mat.
05
Support your nervous system
Breathwork and bandha techniques that build resilience instead of just burning energy off.
06
Teach something new
A Kundalini segment you can bring into a class that is not one, with cues you can say out loud.

I have taught for a decade and still avoided Kundalini because planning one felt like homework. The kriya cards list their own sequence, so that excuse is gone. I now open two classes a week with one.

I expected incense and jargon. What I got was someone explaining exactly what a bandha does and why. The videos are the reason I kept going past week one.

Questions, answered

What is the PlayPauseBe Kundalini Yoga Deck?

A set of 89 hand-illustrated cards in 5 categories: main components (cards 1–15D: pranayama, kumbhakas, bandhas, mantras and drishti), 7 kriyas (16–22), 11 meditations (23–33), the classical warm-up (34–54) and the Kundalini-specific poses (55–86). Every card carries the practice in English and Sanskrit, visual and written cues, a focus phrase, its benefits and the chakras it addresses. It ships with a printed manual and an in-depth online manual.

How is Kundalini Yoga different from other styles?

Most styles focus on the physical body. Kundalini works on energy flow, chakra alignment and self-awareness, combining posture with breathwork, mantra and meditation to clear the blocks that stress, fear and self-doubt create. The result is a practice aimed at how you think and feel, not only how you move.

What is a kriya, and why do the kriya cards matter?

A kriya is a pre-designed sequence that combines posture, breathwork, mantra and meditation for a specific outcome, such as clarity or inner strength. There are 7 in the deck, and each kriya card prints the exact card numbers of the practices it calls for. You pull the kriya, pull its cards, and the sequence is laid out.

Is this deck suitable for beginners?

Yes. It was built to make Kundalini approachable. Every practice has clear step-by-step instructions, and nothing assumes prior knowledge of the tradition. Experienced practitioners tend to go straight to the kriyas and meditations.

Is this a dogmatic or lineage-based approach?

No. Kundalini Yoga is far older than its modern introduction to the West and the controversies attached to it. This deck keeps the practices and leaves the rest: no dogma, no outdated rules, no lineage to join.

What are the five koshas, and how does the deck use them?

The koshas are the five nested layers yoga uses to describe the self. The deck is built so a balanced practice reaches each one: warm-ups and postures for the physical body, breathwork and energy work for the energy body, meditations and mantras for the mental body, and clarity techniques for the wisdom body.

Do I need the online course to use the deck?

No, the deck stands on its own. The Kundalini Academy adds over 90 video lessons that show every kriya, meditation and pose being done, plus the theory behind them. If you want the YACEP certification, the course is required.

How long does the course take?

It is a 30 hour course, entirely self-paced. Some students finish in a few weeks, others spread it across the year. Access does not expire.

Will I get personal feedback?

On the certified track, yes. You submit the Training Manual assignments and Cynthia reads and answers them herself. This is why the certified intake is limited to 50 participants.

What is the YACEP certification?

The certified version earns 30 hours of continuing education credit, certified by Yoga Alliance, and includes the full Training Manual with assignments plus personal feedback. It is designed for Registered Yoga Teachers meeting their ongoing education requirements.

How much time do I need for a practice?

Fifteen minutes is a complete practice: one kriya, or a pranayama and a meditation. An hour is a deep one. The cards are ordered so you can scale the same system either way.

Can I combine it with other PlayPauseBe decks?

Yes. Use it as a standalone sequence, pair it with the Yin deck, or open and close a Vinyasa flow with a Kundalini pranayama or meditation. All the decks share the same card numbering and combine freely.

How and where do you ship?

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's not for me?

Every order is covered by a 15-day money-back guarantee. If anything arrives defective or damaged through no fault of your own, we replace it free of charge.
