There are millions of yogis all over the world, and each of their yoga lifestyles is different. Some yogis are fitness buffs and their yoga is a form of athletics; some are artists and their yoga is a dance; others follow the more traditional spiritual path, while there are others who practice a more mystical and magical kind of yoga.
 
The mystical yogi has crystal balls, spell books and tarot decks and oracle cards intermingled with their Yoga Sutras and pay close attention to power animals and phases of the moon.
 
Healing or oracle cards are also known as wisdom cards and used as tools for divination, spiritual guidance and insight to help an individual set an intention at the start of their day, or gain a deeper understanding of any given circumstance.
 
Wisdom cards are great for any yogi who’d like to incorporate them in their daily practice or their yoga classes if they teach. Cards of a spiritual nature with inspiring words and imagery can bring a class together to reflect on certain concepts or share their stories, and can be a focal theme to concentrate on during meditation.

Below are 5 wisdom card decks for daily spiritual reflection and healing:
