Still Thinking?
Our journey began in 2020 with a groundbreaking idea – a yoga deck designed specifically for sequencing, a first in the industry. That initial spark on Kickstarter has now ignited a global movement.
Our PlayPauseBe decks, embraced by over 60,000 yogis worldwide, are transforming the way yoga is practiced. From the United States to Japan, we’ve expanded into over 70 countries, becoming an indispensable tool for yoga enthusiasts of all levels, including thousands of instructors.
Our decks aren’t just products; they’re a gateway to an enhanced yoga experience, helping practitioners find greater focus and presence in their self-practice.
Aside from our decks, we have built a thriving community of like-minded yogis, helped our PlayPauseBe’ers go deeper into their practice with comprehensive online courses, and recently launched a monthly publication, FLOGA.
While our initial mission was to empower yogis to add self-practice to their daily lives, we’re now working hard to create innovative products that will help you continuously deepen your experience on the mat whether you are a beginner or advanced yogis.
FAQ
Yes, the Chair Yoga Deck is suitable for all levels and ages, including absolute beginners. You’ll find short cues and visual instructions on the cards, along with longer explanations and contraindications for each pose in the manual.
To help you understand the difficulty level of each pose, we’ve included an intensity icon. So, you can start with the more gentle poses and put the advanced asanas to the side until you become more confident and experienced.
And remember, you always have the support of our teachers (and the experienced yogis in the community!) in our Facebook Group, dedicated to those who want to deepen their practice with the PlayPauseBe decks.
Yes, the deck offers variations that can challenge experienced yogis and deepen anyone’s practice.
Absolutely yes! The PlayPauseBe decks are the most highly recommended teaching tool for yoga teachers around the world. In fact, 32.5% of our customers are yoga instructors who find our innovative reference system insanely helpful for planning their classes.
The Decks are beneficial to both new instructors and those with years of experience because:
- You get TONS of inspiration for your class themes, such as benefits and chakras.
- You can plan your classes in a much faster and more efficient way.
- You can memorise your sequences easily, thanks to the visual content.
- The descriptions on each card help you learn and remember the appropriate queueing and Sanskrit names of every single pose.
If you have the previous PPB deck, you will find the Chair Yoga Deck gives you tons more inspiration and ideas for sequences, so you don’t get “stuck in a rut” teaching the same old flows.
With the chair as a versatile prop, it’s simple to tailor classes for diverse groups, such as office employees or those with limited mobility, making yoga more accessible and inclusive. Embrace the adaptability of chair yoga and watch your teaching spaces expand beyond the studio, into offices and homes, enriching the practice for every student.
Not at all! Our Chair Yoga Deck is designed for use with any sturdy chair you have at home or at the office. While there are chairs made specifically for yoga, they are by no means necessary to enjoy the benefits of chair yoga. Feel free to use what’s available to you and start your practice right away.
Chair yoga modifies traditional poses to be performed while seated, making them more accessible. It’s perfect for those who may find standard poses challenging or for those practicing in confined spaces.
We know that starting a self-yoga practice can initially feel confusing and overwhelming. That’s why we created the PlayPauseBe yoga decks to give you the confidence and competence you need to practice independently.
We have included contraindications for each posture in the manual. If you have any existing injuries or health concerns, we recommend you consult the manual before creating a sequence. This will help you choose the postures that will be most beneficial to you.
Note that unlike the previous decks, we have not included sequencing suggestions on the cards. This is because they would take up too much space for this specific deck. Instead, we have included suggestions in the manual and are working on a system to improve our innovative sequence referencing method further.
Remember that you can always join the PlayPauseBe Facebook group for additional support. Here we have a wonderful community of yogis and yoginis of all levels with whom you can share your sequences for feedback. For any questions or doubts, you can post inside the group and our teachers and the experienced practitioners inside the community will be happy to help!
If you don’t have Facebook, you can reach us at info@playpausebe.com and we’ll reply back as soon as possible.
We ship PlayPauseBe everywhere in the world. Shipping times depend on your location. We have 3 warehouses across the globe:
- Dallas, United States
