Don’t you love it when you buy something because it looks really cute and fun, and it turns out to be even better than you expected? That’s exactly how our whole family feels about the Yoga Pretzels
The set comes with 50 sturdy, laminated cards divided by color into nine categories: Breathe, Games, Balance, Stand, Forward Bend, Back Bend, Twist & Stretch, Partner, and Time In. Here’s a little peek at what the cards look like:
Natalie has great balance and loves doing many of the standing and balancing poses.
And, here’s Delaney doing the Mountain Pose:
They have especially been enjoying the partner cards lately – lots of giggles trying to get their bodies to cooperate!
Natalie and I have been going through the various breathing exercises, talking about which ones might help her relax and calm down. She is my anxious girl, so I find the yoga especially beneficial for her. Of course, these cards are great for grown-ups new to yoga, too – like me!
Happy playing and moving!

Are those animal shaped yoga mats???
Who?What?Where?
Abbril: Yes, they are animal shaped mats! I got them on clearance at Pottery Barn Kids a while back…. (a year maybe??)
How prominent is the spiritual component of yoga w/these cards?
I found yoga for kids on my ON DEMAND about a month ago. My son loves it & we often do it as a family. Those cards look great!
I found the perfect yoga guru in my locality simply by searching by my zip code on http://www.aafter.com. Try it out-its awesome!
We have these too, they are tons of fun. Thanks for sharing, great review!
PS: You’re kiddos are adorable<3

Thanks for the review – I use another kind of yoga cards teaching kids yoga and there are so many games to play with yoga cards. My favorite is an intuition game – take a relaxed breath and cut the deck. The card that comes up is the one for you. Kids like the adventure of it.
That likes like fun! Anything that makes exercise fun is good for me!
Wow, I love the kid yoga cards. What a fantastic Idea. Om.
