Yoga Adjust Consent Cards - Why are they important in a yoga class

In a yoga class, creating a safe, respectful environment is everything. Some students might be ready for a hands-on assist, while others could be dealing with injuries, trauma, or simply prefer not to be touched that day. It can be tricky to gauge what’s best for everyone, which is why the Yoga Hands-On Adjust Consent Cards are such a game-changer.

These cards offer a simple, discreet way for students to let you know their preference for hands-on adjustments—no awkward conversations required. Whether they’re cool with a little extra guidance or would rather keep their practice hands-free, these cards give students the power to communicate their needs, making your classes more inclusive and comfortable for everyone.

What Are These Consent Cards, Anyway?

In short, they’re a super easy way for students to let you know if they’re up for hands-on adjustments during class. Think of it like a little “yes” or “no” sign they can place by their mat—no need to raise their hand or make a big announcement.
Here’s what you’re getting:
**20 double-sided cards** that feel as luxurious as your favorite yoga mat. They’re printed on 350gsm soft-touch laminated paper with a velvety feel that’s almost too smooth to be real.
You can choose between **round or square corners**—because yes, even the little details matter.
Each set comes in an adorable cotton drawstring bag. It's perfect for keeping your cards safe and sound or popping into your yoga bag without losing any of them (trust me, this happens).

Why You (and Your Students) Will Love Them

Let’s be real, yoga is all about creating a space where people feel safe, supported, and respected. With these consent cards, you’re giving your students the freedom to decide what feels right for them, and that’s a game-changer for your classes. Here’s why they’re a must-have:

No More Guesswork
No more trying to guess who’s okay with adjustments and who’s not! Students just place the card by their mat, and boom—you know exactly where they stand. It’s a win for everyone.
Respecting Boundaries, Made Simple
We all have days when we’re just not feeling the hands-on stuff, and that’s totally okay. Whether it’s due to injury, personal boundaries, or just not being in the mood, these cards take the pressure off students to speak up. It’s a quiet way to respect their space and energy.
They Look and Feel Amazing
Okay, I’m a sucker for design, and I’m not gonna lie—these cards are gorgeous. They’re printed on thick, luxurious paper with that soft-touch, velvet finish that just feels so nice. Plus, they’re sturdy, so they won’t start falling apart after a few classes.
Easy to Carry, Easy to Use
The cards come in a handy cotton drawstring bag, so you can easily toss them into your teaching kit or yoga studio stash. If you teach larger classes, no worries—just let me know, and I can create a custom set for you!

How to Use the Yoga Consent Cards

Before class starts, hand out the consent cards to your students and let them know how it works. They can place the card next to their mat with the side showing their preference—one side says they’re open to adjustments, while the other says they’d rather skip it.
You’ll know exactly who’s comfortable with hands-on guidance, and everyone can move through their practice without any awkward moments.

Creating a Safer Yoga Space for Everyone

Yoga should always feel safe and supportive. For some students, even the idea of being touched during a practice can bring up feelings of discomfort. Others might have injuries or physical conditions they don’t want to make a big deal about. These cards help create a space where students feel empowered to communicate their boundaries, without having to say a word.

Plus, it makes your life easier as a teacher. No more trying to remember who’s okay with adjustments from class to class—it’s all right there in front of you!
