"The Art of Consent" Cards
Subtle, double-sided, and intuitive. Designed for non-verbal, conscious communication between teacher and student.
These cards empower students to communicate their needs, honoring both their bodies and their boundaries.
Designed from the dual perspective of teacher and student—created for yoga studios, instructors, and everyone dedicated to fostering a safe and conscious practice space.
Mindful design rooted in:
perceptual psychology,
spatial behavior (proxemics),
symbolism.
Proudly designed and crafted in Poland.
Why introduce the cards?
Design with intention
The cards were born from the intersection of teacher and student experiences, in collaboration with an artist who gave them their form. The visual identity was crafted by Michał Pac, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, who translated the concept of "The Art of Consent" into a clean, symbolic, and harmonious design. Every element has been intentionally designed to support the practical use of the cards and the message they carry.
Local production
From initial concept and printing to final finishing and packaging – our cards are made entirely in Poland (EU). We take pride in supporting local craftsmen and maintaining full transparency throughout the entire process.
Environmentally friendly materials
Every component of our cards – including the paper, inks, and finishes – holds certifications confirming their quality, safety, and responsible sourcing. Within the scope of available technology, we ensure that our materials are as durable and environmentally friendly as possible, without compromising the product's functionality.
Because yoga is an encounter - with the body, with the breath, and with another human being.
Who does The Art of Consent support in their work?
Consent Art Cards were created for all teachers who want to create a more conscious and safe practice space.
This is a tool for people who believe that group yoga practice begins with a mindful relationship—with the body, with the teacher, and with oneself.
The cards are an ideal choice for:
- Yoga Schools
- Modern Yoga, Pilates, and Movement Studios
- Independent Yoga Teachers conducting group classes in various locations and corporate settings.
- Instructors in fitness clubs, wellness centers, and movement schools.
- Organizers and Hosts of retreats and away-workshops.
Who does The Art of Consent support on the mat?
The cards specifically benefit:
- Students in beginner classes — regardless of the style (e.g., Hatha). We all know the profound impact of mindful assistance, especially at the start of the journey. Thanks to the cards, practitioners feel seen, cared for, and safe from the very first minute.
- Conscious choice of assistance — whether tactile or verbal — can either encourage or discourage further practice. Often, this is the decisive moment for their relationship with yoga and whether they return to the mat.
- Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP), individuals experiencing heightened stress, or those after difficult life experiences.
- Groups with diverse levels of advancement and high rotation numbers
- People with limited mobility, seniors, and pregnant women.
A small addition, immense value.
We understand how vital proper assistance is during group practice. The Art of Consent cards introduce an element of conscious choice regarding its form.
Through clear communication - both verbal and symbolic - and a supportive color palette, both student and teacher gain an additional element that facilitates cooperation.

Created from the heart of the practice.
The Art of Consent was born from a genuine encounter -- two women, two stories, and one shared need: to create a space where the body feels safe, and boundaries are treated with true respect.
Magda, returning to yoga after a difficult, traumatic experience, found in Ania something she had sometimes missed in yoga rooms before: a practice embodying ahimsa - the profound principle of non-harming, which in modern yoga is also found in the language of care and conscious choice. Their meeting on the mat sparked a project that both had carried within them for a long time; however, it was a conversation in the sun at Krakow's Kazimierz that made them realize what had been budding in them separately was, from the start, a shared path.
The cards were thus born from the intention of creating the kind of space in which they themselves would want to practice: tender, safe, and modern. They are a small gesture that opens up a great possibility - communication based on trust, freedom of choice, and mindful listening to the body. This tool is rooted in real-life practice, years of experience from both creators, and a personal journey that held everything that translates into The Art of Consent today: empathy, presence, and partnership. The cards carry the intention for group yoga to be, above all, a space where everyone feels seen, safe, and in harmony with themselves.
