Both a game and a teaching tool, this kit combines fun, fitness, and imagination. It includes 24 oversized 5 inch x 7 inch yoga cards with a yoga pose on one side and a short poem describing the pose on the other. There's also a 24 page Teacher's Guide that makes using yoga simple and fun, plus a 40 minute CD with 20 minutes of energizing classical music and 20 minutes of relaxing instruments. The kit provides hours of non-competitive play, and the exercises will help children develop strength, concentration, balance, and flexibility.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good resource for kids and children's yoga teachers, September 24, 2005

I teach yoga to children a few times a week and am always looking for fun and appropriate props and activities - this is a good resource. The Yoga Kit for Kids includes a music CD, that's just "OK"; an activity book, that's better than "OK"; and a deck of large cards featuring children in yoga poses, which is the deck's best feature.

The deck allows children to use their imaginations; they can tell stories and "act" them out using the deck, play "guess-who" games, etc. The cards could be a little more durable, however. Mine are getting a little worn at the edges.

I am a social worker and work with kids. Once this kit was given to a family with a young child age 7 with many behavioral difficulties. While he typically has difficulty following directions and sustaining interest - he LOVED this game and followed along a lot longer than I expected. His sister age 5 also loved it. I recently also put the kit in a toy box of mine and another 3 year old I work with pulled it out right a way and said "lets do this." The 3 year old loves it, is able to follow along, and also likes being the "teacher" and holding out the cards for her mommy and me to do the poses. The cards have a picture on each side and she was able to name each pose- mouse, table, peacock, etc on her own without any help reading (she was able to be teacher only after playing the game 2ce).

All and All - KIDS LOVE THIS GAME!!!!

I highly recommend it.

I am the teacher of 15 2 1/2 to 3 year olds. On Wednesday afternoon, we put on a soothing sounds CD and do yoga in our large group area. The children LOVE it and look forward to it. When my co-teacher suggested it, I couldn't believe that it would keep the attention of 2-year-olds, but it does!!! They aren't all able to do all the positions, but they try. I hold up each card so they can see it, do the position myself, and when I think they are all doing the best they can, we all count to 10. It is a huge hit! I highly recommend it!
