Highly recommended for the classroom - By: scotreview, 08 Mar 2008 
As a primary teacher I can highly recommend this publication to any colleagues looking for ideas for yoga activities - I've just used them with an 'Golden Time' group of mixed ages (P1 - P7) & are they were a huge success. Despite the range of ages, & a couple of children with mild physical problems, everybody was able to attempt the poses with a good level of success.
The pack is divided into different, colour-coded categories (breathing; standing postures; back bends; forward bends; games; balances; etc). This alllows you to adopt a pick-n-mix approach to put together a session. Each week I choose the sections we are going to work from (I start with breathing & a balance, finish with a 'time-in' activity, & then choose 2 or 3 other categories to make up the middle section) then let volunteers choose a card from each section. This children enjoy feeling that they've designed the session.
The pack is of excellent quality & the cards are durable, colourful & very engaging. One side features an illustration of the pose & on the other clear, simple instructions. I've found them very easy to use, although I have some yoga experience which, while not essential, I think does help.
Brilliant. - By: Mrs. Ann Niamh, 21 Jan 2008 I have been having difficulty finding a child's yoga class in my area so I thought I would try these cards. What a hit they have been! My 6 year old loves the cards. We find the step by step instructions easy to follow & the cards are robust enough to cope with our 2 year old's handling. We haven't done alll of the cards yet - there are lots of them, but those that we have done have been fun & the thoughts prompted by the cards reallly adds to the experience. Well worth a set.
Great fun! - By: Carolyn Savage, 23 Jul 2007 I have never written a review before, but having used these cards on a weekly basis to help me teach yoga classes for the past few months, I felt I had to! They are wonderful. I have been using them with children aged 7-11. They are colour coded to indicate the type of activity (breathing, meditating, stretching, partner positions etc) & incredibly child friendly. One side depicts a colourful illustration of the pose / activity, whilst the other gives step by step instructions (with smalll diagrams) of how to achieve them. Teachers & parents who have seen me using them have frequently asked where they can buy them. All I can say is this: if you would like some inspiration to guide you, this pack will be invaluable. The kids can choose the cards themselves & create their own sessions to some extent, which they love! A great resource!
