100 cards
This deck offers a welcoming introduction to the foundations of yoga, covering everything from its ancient origins and key philosophical texts to the wide variety of styles practiced today. You'll find cards on foundational questions like the history of yoga, the role of Patanjali, and the meaning behind the Yoga Sutras, as well as practical overviews of popular styles such as Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Bikram, Restorative, and Kundalini. It's a great starting point for building a well-rounded understanding of both the theory and the practice.
The cards are designed for beginners and curious learners who want to explore yoga beyond the mat, whether you're just starting a personal practice, considering a teacher training, or simply want to appreciate the traditions that shape modern yoga. No prior experience is needed, and the questions move gradually from big-picture concepts to more specific ideas about ethics, principles, and styles.
Because the material mixes history, philosophy, and practical categories, you'll get the most out of it by reviewing in short, spaced sessions rather than trying to absorb everything at once. As you study, try to notice how the ideas connect — for example, how the ethical guidelines of the Yamas and Niyamas relate to the physical practices described in the different yoga styles. Linking concepts together in this way will help the information stick and give you a clearer picture of yoga as a whole.
