    Absolutely essential for any Yin practitioner! The Yin Deck has helped me understand the subtleties of each pose and how they affect energy flow. My sessions have never been more focused and calming.

    I added the Yin Academy expecting a few videos and got a proper training. The therapeutic prop work alone changed how I hold space for long poses. I teach differently now, and my students stay in the shapes far longer.

    I used to lie in a shape and just wait for it to be over. Having the meridians and a focus phrase on the card gives me something to actually place my attention on, and the poses stopped feeling like waiting.

The Yin Yoga Deck cards laid out in a practice

How does it work?

The Yin Yoga Deck is a beautiful work of art made of 68 cards. Three categories, warm-up, poses and restore, carry you through a complete yin practice, where you can slow down and disconnect from everything.

  • Warm up
  • Poses
  • Restore

Everything you need, on one card

Every yin card is designed to be read from the floor, mid-practice. Beneath each pose a focus phrase sets your attention, so you can settle into the hold and let the card do the guiding.

Yin card 1, Ankle Stretch
Yin card 6, Hip Waves
Yin card 18, Deer Pose
Yin card 47, Sphinx
Yin card 49, Supported Banana
Yin card 59, Supported Reclined Butterfly
Yin card 60, Supported Savasana
Crown Chakra bonus card
Throat Chakra bonus card
Sacral Chakra bonus card

The focus phrase beneath each pose tells you where to place your attention, how to settle the body, where the breath should travel, so a hold of several minutes stays soft and safe.

Along the top, the chakra symbols show which energy centers the pose activates, and in the manual every pose is mapped to the meridian channels it works with.

Lay the cards out, settle in, and stay a while.

All 12 meridians, one deck

Yin yoga works on the meridians, the energy channels of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The 60 postures in the deck cover all 12 meridian channels, and the manual explains the whole system, so you can build sequences that nourish exactly where you need it.

On the back of each asana card you will find the meridians, with the ones relevant for the pose at hand highlighted, so you can build a practice around your health goals.

  • Heart
  • Lung
  • Liver
  • Spleen
  • Kidney
  • Stomach
  • Gall Bladder

  • Small Intestine
  • Large Intestine

The deck also includes 1 illustrated bonus card showing all the meridians and their pathways. Use it together with the full explanations inside the manual for a deeper understanding of these energy channels.

Chakras

On the top of each card we added which chakra the pose activates. For each pose, you can find highlighted the chakras involved.

This way, you can easily create sequences based on a specific chakra theme, or discover a deeper understanding of each pose on an energetic level. The deck also includes 7 illustrated bonus chakra cards, each with a description and an affirmation of that chakra.

Questions, answered

What is the PlayPauseBe Yin Yoga Deck?
The PlayPauseBe Yin Yoga Deck is a set of 68 hand-illustrated cards: 60 yin yoga poses in 3 categories, warm-up, poses and restore, plus 8 bonus cards with chakra and meridian information. Each card shows the pose with its English and Sanskrit name, the chakras it activates and a focus phrase. It ships with a printed booklet and an in-depth online manual.
What is printed on each card?
Each card carries a hand-painted illustration of the pose, its name in English and Sanskrit, the chakras it activates marked along the top, its category, and a short focus phrase that sets your attention and keeps the entry into the pose safe. The 8 bonus cards carry chakra descriptions, affirmations and meridian information.
What are meridians and how does the deck use them?
Meridians are the energy channels of Traditional Chinese Medicine that yin yoga works with. The deck's 60 postures cover all 12 meridian channels, each card indicates the meridians a pose stimulates, and the manual explains the whole system, so you can build sequences that target specific channels.
Can a beginner use the Yin Yoga Deck?
Yes. Yin is one of the most beginner-friendly styles: poses are floor-based, held for minutes and adapted with props. The focus phrases on each card and the manual's detailed descriptions walk you into every pose safely, whatever your experience level.
I teach yoga, is the deck useful for me too?
Yes. Teachers use it to plan yin and restorative classes, build themes around a chakra or meridian, and balance stronger classes with slow practice. The Yin Sequence Guidebook adds 20 ready-made sequences to teach from.
How is the Yin Deck different from the Yoga Deck?
The Yoga Deck holds 82 dynamic Hatha and Vinyasa poses for strong practice; the Yin Deck holds 68 cards of long, slow holds, typically 2 to 5 minutes, mapped to meridians. They share the same illustration style and system, and PlayPauseBe recommends pairing one strong deck with one slow deck for a complete practice.
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.
