Reviews / Votes
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 *More details
