Just wondering if there is a deck out there that uses yoga poses in its cards. I noticed the Gaian deck has a woman doing "the tree" upside down as the Hanged Man. Do you know of any others?

The only cards I know of utilizing yoga poses are these: http://www.bodymindyoga.com/yogacards.html
There are 25 cards and their purpose is not divination, but I don't see why they couldn't be used in that way if one has an understanding of what each asana aims to do.

The site at http://peagreen.safeshopper.com/60/cat60.htm?107 shows five yoga cards.
Possible card correspondences to tarot:- Moonrise: The Moon card
- Tree Pose: Hanged Man
- Tree Warrior: Strength
- Atlas: The World
- Tumbler: The Fool

- The Hanging Man in many decks
(e.g., Marseilles) could bring to mind a yogi.
- RWS 4 of Cups & Osho Zen Tarot deck 4 of Water
(Turning In)
Yoga Meditation / Lotus Position

Thanks Rusty Neon and Astraea. I love yoga, and can't help but make connections between some of the poses and the cards. I guess many of us who have other hobbies/pursuits we love can't help but connect the cards to them sometimes!
I use the Yoga Deck, the Yoga Deck II, the OM Deck, and Yoga: the Poetry of the Body Deck when practicing. I've never thought of using the cards like I do the tarot!
