Introduce yoga to children with large, beautiful, fun cards! Yoga is a perfect exercise for young children because it improves physical health and mental discipline. The cards are split into three levels: easy, intermediate, and challenging. On the front is a photograph of a child surrounded by a bright graphic image. On the reverse are illustrated instructions detailing how to position the body correctly to create the pose. The teacher guide includes breathing and stretching exercises and follow up activities to integrate yoga into other areas of the curriculum. These yoga cards can be used with individuals or in a group - they are large enough to show to a whole class. They are a great tool for individuals with Autism as they have a chance to practice their gross motor skills and build muscle strength.

Matthew U. ★★★★★

The three levels make it easy to start my 6-year-old on the simpler poses before moving up. The cards are big and sturdy enough that she can spread them out on the floor and pick her own sequence.

Henry E. ★★★★★

My 4-year-old asks for "the animal cards" every night before bed, and the three levels mean his older sister can join in without getting bored. The illustrations are lovely enough that I've caught myself flipping through them alone.

Sebastian ★★★★★

My kids fight over who gets to pick the next pose every morning before school. The three difficulty levels are perfect for keeping my 4-year-old and 8-year-old both challenged without getting frustrated. Even I've found myself doing a few of these stretches with them after breakfast.
