The potential goes unnoticed
In hectic modern lives the hands do everything and are asked nothing. Mudras put them to deliberate use.
They work alongside anything
Inside meditation, pranayama or a yoga sequence, or entirely on their own with no setup at all.

Each gesture resonates with specific chakras and one of six elements, printed where you can see it.

Boost focus, enhance clarity, awaken intuition

76 beautifully illustrated cards. Tap into the reservoir of energy in your hands, and bring in a new wave of inspiration, balance and well-being.

Choose a mudra by the benefit you want

I had read three books on mudras and still could not remember which was which. Sorting them by element is the thing that finally made it stick.

Questions, answered

What is the PlayPauseBe Mudra Deck?

A set of 76 hand-illustrated cards: 65 mudras divided into 6 categories by element, plus 11 bonus cards covering the Ayurvedic elements and hand warm-up exercises. Every card carries the name in English and Sanskrit, the chakras the gesture stimulates, a focus phrase, a recommended duration, and its benefits on the back. Illustrated by Giulia Rosa.

How can I use the Mudra deck?

As a tool for personal practice, meditation and self-exploration. Choose a card that resonates with you, follow the instructions to perform the mudra, and hold it for the recommended duration. Mudras also fit inside a yoga sequence or a pranayama practice.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes. The deck caters to all levels, including complete beginners. Everything needed to practice a gesture is printed on its card, so no prior study is required.

Is it suitable for teachers?

Yes. You can select mudras by benefit, chakra or element to match a class theme, and the Sanskrit names and cues are on the card. It works for yoga teachers, meditation instructors and wellness practitioners alike.

Do I need any special equipment or props?

No. Mudras are performed with your hands and fingers alone. A comfortable, quiet space is all that helps.

How do I know which mudra is right for me?

Start from what you want: a benefit printed on the back, a chakra marked at the top, or an element. Each card explains the gesture's benefits and applications, so you can experiment rather than guess.

What is the difference between Mudra Mastery and Mudra Essentials?

Both cover an introduction to mudras, the correct practice method, and the same 15 customized routines. Mastery goes further: all 65 mudras explained one by one, related concepts such as Maha Bhuta, Vayus, Chakras, Mantra, Yantras, Doshas and Koshas, the links with Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, personalization through Vedic astrology and palmistry, and a scientific explanation of mudras and the brain. Everything in Essentials is contained inside Mastery. They are not two different courses.

Can I enroll without any yoga experience?

Yes. Both courses are designed to guide people from any background, including those with no prior yoga experience.

Are the courses self-paced?

Yes. You can access the material anytime and progress at whatever speed suits you.

Can I interact with the instructor or other students?

The courses do not include direct interaction, but the instructions are detailed enough to follow on your own. Our Facebook and Instagram communities are active, and you can email our yoga teachers with any question.

Which routines are included in the courses?

Fifteen: reducing stress and anxiety; physical health and wellbeing; improved digestion; allergies and clearing the respiratory tract; glowing skin; a healthy menstrual cycle and PMS release; headache and tension release; insomnia and peaceful sleep; healthy joints and bones; strength, stamina and courage; self-love and acceptance; pre and post-travel grounding; brain capacity and memory; sexual and creative energy; higher intuition and vision for your future.

Which decks work well alongside this one?

The Yoga Deck is the natural pairing, one deck for the body, one for the hands. The Kundalini Deck is closest in spirit, since mudras belong to that practice too, and the Ayurveda Deck extends the element thinking to dosha and season.

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.

Hold the gesture.

The Tarot Yoga Deck pairs every arcana with a pose or a mudra, so a card you draw in the morning has a gesture to hold. Mudras give that practice its whole vocabulary, which is why we suggest starting with both.
