The Go Yogi! Card Set cover

50 fun flash cards for introducing simple yoga poses to children aged 4+

Go Yogi! flash cards are a fun way for kids to learn 50 common yoga poses. From balancing in tree pose to bending into downward dog, using the cards for regular practice will increase fitness, strength and flexibility, enhance breathing and improve wellbeing. Suitable for ages 4+, for individual, pairs and groups.

Learn which way to bend your legs to sit like a lotus, how to balance in boat pose, and spread your arms wide to stand like a warrior!

Children aged 4+ can use these fun flash cards to learn how to do 50 common yoga poses, either alone, in pairs or in groups. Each card shows exactly where each body part needs to go to feel the full benefits of each pose, to improve strength and flexibility, concentration, and achieve greater wellbeing. The cards are colour-coded based on the emotional and physical benefits of the pose, and include the traditional Sanskrit name as well as the English translation. They are perfect for use at school or home and are the ideal way to introduce yoga to young children. The card set also includes a booklet with instructions for use and ideas for adapting poses and using the cards as part of interactive storytelling.

The beautifully simplistic illustrations on these easy to follow cards let the yoga poses speak for themselves. The colour-coded borders, Sanskrit names, and information booklet show the expertise and thought that has gone into creating this colourful deck suitable for anyone interested in getting children or themselves into yoga. -- Ty Newton, Primary School Teacher and Qualified Children’s Yoga Teacher, Bath
This is a very sweet, simple set of cards that offers a nice diverse range of characters and each card has an easy how-to-do-the-pose on the back. These are a great addition to my teaching practice and my students really like them. -- Always Be Dancing
All in all, and I speak from experience as a specialist early years teacher and teacher of yoga to children (and adults), this little box is a real treasure for those wanting to introduce yoga to young children. I thoroughly recommend it. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *
