Empowering Thousands of Yoga Students and Teachers Worldwide
A yoga practitioner and teacher here. I’m super grateful for these cards which make class planning so easy and playful. I ordered them and now I have the asana expansion deck, too.
As I have a few classes a week, I don’t always have time to carefully prepare for all, and I realized I anyway need to adjust the level, modifications, transitions to the those who come, so instead of putting together detailed course plans, I rather use these cards to have some key asanas or themes in mind for the week.
I got this! They’re gorgeous!
Love my PlayPauseBe decks! Beautiful handy DIVERSE. Imagery on the cards, helpful for sequencing
My friend bought me these – both the first deck and the expansion pack and I must say they are truly wonderful. As a newly qualified RYT200 l find them really useful when I first put a new sequence together for a certain theme to then test out flows on the mat and refer back to the cards and beautifully illustrated

I’ve been teaching yoga for a decade, and the PPB decks has been the most valuable addition to my toolkit
I used to be app-reliant, but the PlayPauseBe Yoga Decks have been a revelation. Their comprehensive guidance has enhanced my every session.
The PPB deck has completely transformed the way I structure my classes. It’s a must-have for every yoga teacher.
We’ve introduced the PPB deck in our instructor training, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s intuitive, comprehensive, and incredibly user-friendly.
Extraordinary quality in every deck
All our decks are sustainably manufactured in Europe using durable, moisture-resistant paper stock from Italy. Both the cards and the storage box are built to last, so you can look forward to many years of consistent practice.
Every card is a work of art
Our Italian artist partner, Giulia Rosa, has brought each card to life with unique and beautiful illustrations. The quality aesthetic makes every practice an inspiration and a delight.

the science
Grow the brain by engaging the hands
The human hand contains around 100,000 nerves that occupy a substantial amount of space on the brain crucial for coordination and sensory processing.
The PlayPauseBe decks tap into this potential by serving as a tactile tool that engages the hands and also enhances eye-brain-hand coordination, facilitating accelerated learning and promoting non-linear thinking, creativity and mindfulness. This active engagement in 3D space fosters a level of cognitive connection and development we miss when we follow along with videos or apps.
💡Research from the University of Chicago has shown that students who use their hands and physical objects to learn mathematical concepts, such as geometry and algebra, develop a more robust understanding. These tactile experiences help bridge the gap between abstract concepts and practical understanding.
Enhance creativity and drive
External stimuli like digital screens and classes put us into “pursuit mode,” where our attention is locked on the outside world. Too much time in this mode depletes dopamine levels, making it harder to experience motivation and pleasure in the medium term.
Self-practice with PlayPauseBe helps you enter a mindful state that naturally restores dopamine levels. This state also enhances creativity by engaging a restorative, non-sleep state of diffuse thinking and broad awareness.
💡Research into states of mindfulness has demonstrated both an increase to dopamine levels and a decrease to stress hormones cortisol and norepinephrine.
Create better sequences, faster
Planning a complete sequence in your mind can be hard because you have to rely on limited working memory. Laying out the PlayPauseBe cards while building a new sequence overcomes this limitation and engages non-linear creative thinking — making it faster, easier and more enjoyable to plan each practice.
💡A foundational concept in cognitive psychology is the limitation of working memory, as described by Miller’s Law, which posits that the average person can hold about 7 (plus or minus 2) items in their working memory. Visualizing and planning complex sequences purely mentally can quickly exceed these limits, leading to cognitive overload (Miller, G. A. (1956). “The magical number seven, plus or minus two: Some limits on our capacity for processing information.” Psychological Review)
Accelerate learning with gentle guidance
True learning occurs actively, not passively. While detailed guidance has an important place in growth, especially early on, real progress is made through active recall and exercise of the fundamentals.
With practice, you’ll quickly get to a point where one glance at the next card is all you need to stay on track. The rest of the experience comes from within, as you bring your abilities to the surface, reinforcing and expanding your yoga knowledge and skills.
Eco-friendly Production
The PlayPauseBe cards are made in Europe with the highest quality, sustainable materials available. Our Eco factory is powered by solar energy, uses rainwater in sanitary installations, and recycles all production waste. Our goal is to make sure that we do not grow at the expense of our planet and its climate.
