Essence of Yin gently invites you
to slow down, one breath at a time

We invite you to slow down

Essence of Yin is an invitation to slow down and listen inward.
Reconnect with what you feel rather than what you think.

In a world that moves fast, our cards offer moments of pause.
At home, within a yoga studio or as a grounding element

in your coaching or therapy practice.

They invite reflection that begins in the body
and gently reveals what wants attention.

Based on Wu Xing for inner balance

 

The Essence of Yin card deck is inspired by Yin yoga and Taoist philosophy. Each card reflects one of the five elemental energies.

Wood: Growth, direction, inner movement and the courage to begin

Fire: Joy, warmth and the capacity to meet life with an open heart

Earth: Nourishment, stability, grounding and being held in the middle

Metal: Letting go, clarity, boundaries and the wisdom of what remains

Water: Rest, depth, trust and the source of inner resilience

 

Together, these elements mirror natural cycles
Within the body, within emotions and within life itself

Essential oils supports calming down

your nervous system

Every card also offers an essential oil suggestion, chosen to subtly support the theme and elemental energy of the card.

Essential oils are used as an invitation, to sense, to soften and to deepen awareness.

In a practice or session, oils can anchor intention and memory. 
At home, they support personal rituals of reflection and care

Always optional, always gentle, always in service of presence.

Yin (Yoga) helps you to find space and deep relaxation

 

Did you notice the beautifully drawn, body-positive line figures on our cards? You might recognise a Yin yoga posture that supports the meridians: the energy channels in our body. Yin asanas are not a shape to achieve, but a doorway into sensation and awareness.

 

In a yoga studio, the cards can inspire class themes or seasonal focus. In coaching or therapeutic settings, postures can support regulation and presence. At home, they offer a gentle practice to slow down and listen. 

Yin yoga in its essence is not about flexibility,
but about meeting yourself where you are.

Daily affirmations to explore and feel inspired
 

Every card offers a gentle affirmation. Not as a statement to convince yourself of something, merely a reminder to return to what already lives within you. 


The affirmations are soft and spacious. They invite listening rather than effort. Allow affirmations to support self compassion instead of self improvement. Whether used as a theme for a class or as a personal ritual at home, an affirmation can echo quietly throughout the day
