Embodied Ethics: Yamas, Niyamas & the Correlating Chakras Yoga Cards

Explore the enduring wisdom of age‑old yoga, purposefully adapted for life today in this fifty‑six‑card deck adventure. Created from the heart for the modern‑day yogi, it invites reflection, curiosity, and everyday practice.

Whether you are a devoted practitioner, just beginning, or simply looking for tools to support self-inquiry and personal growth, this deck offers a yoga toolbox that extends well beyond physical postures. The Embodied Ethics Yoga Cards are designed to create an inclusive, welcoming space where yoga is accessible to every body—honouring all shapes, beliefs, religions, and life circumstances.

 

Word on the Street

Inside, you’ll find 49 cards dedicated to the yogic precepts and related themes, featuring the Yamas and Niyamas—the foundation of sage Patanjali’s eight-limbed path of Aṣṭāṅga yoga. In addition, to guide you along the way, you’ll find 7 Chakra specific Asana cards with yoga postures and breathing techniques intended to open, expand, and unify; mind, body, and heart.

The ten jewels of the Yamas and Niyamas, explored alongside the seven chakras, offer a powerful framework for Svādhyāya (self-study). When this ancient wisdom is brought into a present-day context, it supports us in taking greater ownership of our lives—both on and off the mat and meditation cushion—and guides us along the path of yoga toward Svatantra, the state of self-governance.

There are no coincidences. Open sesame. Draw a card at random. Or explore one of the suggested spreads. Tune in to the teacher within yourself, and allow that innate wisdom to illuminate your deepest intentions and guide you back into alignment—one card at a time.

The Embodied Ethics toolbox for life offers a holistic roadmap toward a collection of ancient and universal truths, all in one tiny box, for quick and easy access to the peace and happiness that was there all along... underneath the hustle and bustle of modern-day life.

For The Keen Enthusiast, Novice, or Practitioner:

Call on the deck in moments of uncertainty, or when a sincere question seeks its answer. When the path feels unclear, or a question burns within, turn to the deck for insight. Or, simply choose one virtue card each day, and pair it with its correlating asana card. Move through the deck from beginning to end over forty‑nine days, creating a steady, embodied practice designed to revitalise the mind, awaken the heart, and infuse your days with clarity and balance.
