Holistic Wellness with Yoga & Tarot

As one looks into the topics of self-discovery and holistic wellness, it has become increasingly clear that many celebrities are finding complementary practices that serve to uplift the body as well as the spirit.

Recently, two of the most accepted complementary practices have become yoga and tarot.

In fact, many celebrities have taken to using this combination of yoga and tarot on social media, often sharing personal readings while showing off their latest favorite yoga gear.

In fact, the combination of yoga and tarot creates what many people describe as the ultimate mind-body-spirit connection found in both ancient wisdom traditions.

The Growing Popularity of Yoga and Tarot Among Celebrities

Although it may seem strange to combine a practice with physical postures and a mystical practice of interpreting cards, celebrities are finding these practices fit together like yin and yang.

While yoga gear is a tangible way to connect to the physical aspect of the yoga practice, tarot cards offer an avenue to engage with deeper and more personal spiritual ideas.

When used together, they meet wellness on multiple levels; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Stars like Jennifer Aniston, Russell Brand and Gwyneth Paltrow have been huge proponents of yoga and frequently talk about their favorite yoga props and their yoga routines, and recently have also been including tarot in their practice.

This has the foundation for a holistic wellness approach, going beyond traditional fitness and into total wellness.

Now more than ever, there are celebrities that have been vocal about being fans of yoga and tarot:

✨ Gwyneth Paltrow - The Goop founder has yoga AND tarot regularly featured on her wellness platform, which includes highlighting both premium, luxury yoga props and tarot decks. Paltrow explains that she practices yoga to find grounding in her physical body, and she uses tarot for spiritual guidance during major life transitions.

✨ Russell Brand - Brand is always on a spiritual journey, and describes how yoga saved him from addiction, while tarot has given him insight during hard times. He is usually found with eco-friendly yoga gear, and he often has tarot readers as guests on his podcast.

✨ Kate Hudson - Hudson has created her own yoga gear with Fabletics, while also discussing how tarot offers her space for self-reflection. She describes yoga and tarot together as a way to provide balance for her life as an actress and mom.

✨ Jada Pinkett Smith - In her "Red Table Talk" show, Smith addressed how yoga allows her to maintain physical strength and tarot readings help her to look at the world through a more awaken lens.

How celebrities incorporate these practices

For many of the celebrities the starting point is the physical part of yoga, and it is supported by quality yoga gear that is essential to an enjoyable experience.

Subsequently, as they become more entrenched in their own practice many of them are curious enough to move into other spiritual tools, like tarot.

This progression supports a whole person approach to wellness, where they are addressing all aspects of being.

1️⃣ Morning rituals - Many celebrities share about their morning rituals starting with yoga on their favorite mat and favorite yoga props from their yoga equipment collection. They typically follow their practice by pulling a tarot card to have a bit of daily insight.

2️⃣ Retreat experiences - Celebrities often attend retreats that are curated 'experiences' which marry yoga sessions with tarot workshops, often bringing their own yoga gear.

3️⃣ Sharing social media - Instagram has become a place where spiritual practitioners, including celebrities, can share their practice and often includes photos of their favorite yoga gear, and beautiful table spread of tarot cards.

4️⃣ Wellness places - Some have made spaces in their homes that feature yoga and related gear, as well as spiritual items such as tarot card decks.

The Real-World Value of This Two Practice Approach

Celebrities indicate many benefits to engaging in this practice:

The physical side of yoga (including the use of specialist yoga gear) supports building strength, flexibility, and stress reduction, while tarot resists a specific mode of reflection or emotional process.

Collectively, they define a holistic view of wellness that supports both the body and spirit.

Celebrity reports suggest that the synergies between yoga and tarot have helped them better navigate the specific pressures of fame in a more discerning, conscious and authentic manner.

The use of appropriate yoga gear facilities the physical practice of yoga, while the tarot itself provides a contextual frame of reference when facing issues related to careers and relationships.

Favorite Yoga Gear of Tarot Practicing Celebrities

Celebrities that use both practices typically lean towards good quality yoga gear that is specifically geared toward supporting their physical yoga practice, while also aligning with their spiritual philosophy:

✔ Eco-friendly, non-slip yoga mats that provided adequate grip for the practice of yoga as well as for seated tarot practice.

✔ Meditation cushions, to help them maintain proper posture when either practicing yoga or tarot.

✔ Sustainably manufactured yoga blocks, straps, and other yoga gear that align with conscious living principles.

✔ The yoga gear which is designed for ease of use in both physical and spiritual practice

✔ Travel-friendly yoga gear for practice virtually anywhere, combined with portable tarot decks

Physical tools and spiritual practices together denotes a holistic approach to wellness which supports the entire person.

By investing in quality yoga gear and authentic spiritual tools, these celebrities are committing to authentic self-care and growth.

As more celebrities share their experiences with yoga and tarot the complementary practices have continued to gain legitimacy and acceptance.

We are left with a more inclusive wellness culture that captures both the physical benefits of yoga (with quality yoga equipment), and the spiritual revelations of tarot, an actual mind-body-spirit connection!
