This series is brilliant. The drawings are explanatory and relatable and the practices cover not only yoga shapes, but the heart of yoga as well. The deck is a well-organized, easily understandable tool that can guide any child or group of children through breath, focus, awareness, and connection."

"This is exactly what I need! The deck is anchored on an effective kids yoga curriculum, comprehensive, inclusive, and well-organized. With the detail and accessibility that can only come from an experienced educator and author who loves and lives mindfulness and yoga, each card thoughtfully shares a practice through illustration and explanation. Due to this flexible format, the cards can be used exclusively or paired with a yoga and mindfulness curriculum. The delightful illustrations by Karen Gilmour are representative of children of a range of ethnicities and abilities.
