"At their core, both yoga and tarot cards are about looking inward. Both invite us to slow down, tune in, and observe what's happening beneath the surface of our daily lives. In yoga, we learn through sensation and movement. In tarot, we learn through archetypes and symbols. Each practice is its own language of self-inquiry. These traditions are less about achieving something external (such as, say, predicting the future) and more about uncovering what's already present."
"In my own practices, I've found that tarot offers an entry point. To lay my mat down, light a candle, pull a card, and let the day loosen its grip. It helps me step back from the constant momentum of doing, deciding, and accomplishing. Yoga then becomes less about fixing or improving and more about feeling. Together, they create a pocket of time where sensation matters more than output and attention replaces urgency."
Both yoga and tarot center on inward observation, inviting slowing down, tuning in, and noticing what lies beneath daily surface activity. Yoga teaches through bodily sensation and movement while tarot teaches through archetypes and symbolic language. Tarot can surface emotions, patterns, or decision points that need attention, and yoga offers breath and movement as ways to work with those insights. Used together, tarot clarifies what to attend to and yoga provides embodied practice, creating a feedback loop in which reflection informs action and embodied experience deepens understanding.
