I got this set to do yoga with my kids (3 and 7). I have them choose a few cards and put them together to flow for our own little class. We have had a lot of fun with this set of cards since it has a unique set of yoga activities to keep everyone interested and having fun. My older daughter loves doing the partner poses – she will pick all of those out of the deck to do, plus a few others. The cards show you how to do the partner poses step by step, which helps. The partner poses can be challenging to do with an adult and child due to the size difference, but my daughter has enjoyed figuring out how to do them with our size difference. My favorite pose is the double pretzel (easy to do, partner pose, feels great). These cards are larger than other product offerings, which makes them easy for all to see.

Yoga Pretzels has been a fantastic addition to our morning routine! My toddler and I use these cards to do yoga together, and they make it so much fun. The cards are beautifully colored, which keeps my little one engaged, and the variety and creativity of the poses are truly impressive.
The set includes both easy and challenging poses, so there’s something for every skill level, making it perfect for us to grow together in our practice. The clear instructions and playful designs make each session enjoyable and easy to follow.
If you’re looking for a way to bond with your child while introducing them to the joys of yoga, this set is an absolute must-have!

For anyone who is teaching children and family yoga, this deck of cards is a must have. In spite of the name “Yoga Pretzels” the poses are fun and easy to do. Deck includes recommended practices on breath, relaxation and actual poses. Cards are large and made of strong material so they will not bend. The are made of colorful pictures and recommendations for the practice of breath and movement. It is a very clever way to keep children engaged during their practice and still provide them a level of education about their health and well being.
I am really pleased that I could find this material on Amazon. Children and Family Yoga class outlines are difficult to find and it is challenging to continue providing engaging classes without being repetitive. As everyone knows child’s imagination can go wild and one can never come up with enough stories to tell, in and out of yoga classes. Excellent reference material for children yoga teachers that can be used in many combinations for a number of engaging classes.

I used these cards today for the first time to teach kids at a summer day camp. The kids are all different ages and levels. Some like yoga and some complain about it. After warming up with some breathing and sun salutations, I passed out these cards and had them partner up and teach each other the positions on the cards. Then, we went around the circle and they taught their cards to everyone in the group. It was really successful. The partner exercises got us laughing and having fun. There is a good mix of easy to challenging positions, with clear instructions. There are also cards that describe breathing exercises, and games to play. I envision being able to use these cards in different ways to engage kids in yoga. I definitely recommend these for people who teach kids yoga.

These are great quality cards containing yoga asanas and the guidance on how to get into them!
The beauty on these cards is not restricted on its drawings but also the uplifting wording that helps one relate to the posture with their own feelings and thoughts.
This is a great tool for yoga teachers working with kids!
I would also recommend this to parents that want some real quality time with their children. They can play, have fun and learn together, explore their movement and feelings, build self-confidence, and trust & appreciation towards their yoga partners.

Although I’ve been teaching adult yoga for years, my first foray into children’s yoga was for two classrooms of kindergarteners at my childrens’ school. (eek, right?) I planned ahead and purchased Yoga Pretzels, based on the many positive reviews. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of breathing exercises, group exercises, and at the arrangement of the pose cards (they’re broken into standing, seated, twisting, balancing, etc poses) as I shuffled through the deck. I was quickly able to create a sequence of breathing, poses and group activity/discussions that was easily adaptable to the 9 groups I taught, and which was able to catch and keep their varying levels of interest (and appropriate for their varied skill levels). The children appreciated being able to read pose names, and see clear pictures of the final poses, and were genuinely excited each time I revealed a new card.
My own 3 children (ages 4-8) are now enjoying the deck at home, and it’s made for some great conversations, adaptations, and group play. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to have a strong class plan for teaching to children, especially since it’s so easy to add or omit poses depending on the students’ needs or abilities.
