Yoga cards are perfect for introducing yoga to children. These cards are easy to follow with simple visual demonstrations to present the correct form and movement. The demonstrations are either illustrated using cartoons or real children.
The visual demonstrations of these cards serve as the personal yoga instructor to guide your kids through a calming practice anytime and anywhere. These beautifully designed cards are often divided into color-coded themes for easy sequencing of poses. Adults, especially beginners, can also take advantage of these yoga cards.
How Do You Use Yoga Cards For Kids
It’s actually easy to use these cards. You can make a sequence from breathing to more complex moves or pick random cards and let your kids follow them. Typically, the cards are sorted according to a theme in different colors, so it’s easy to create a sequence.
Some fun ways to use these cards are:
1. Put four yoga cards in the corners of your room and let the child pick a card as the music stops
2. In a yoga mat, surround your child with cards and let them pick a card each time the music stops
3. In the rules of Simon Says, pick out a card and cite the pose to be followed by your child
What To Look For On A Good Deck Of Yoga Cards
Illustrations
Look for cute representations that best resonate with your kids. Some kids like cartoon caricatures, while others relate more to actual kids.
Durability
The cards need to be durable to endure the beating from kids. As possible, look for laminated cards because they’re tear-resistant and water-resistant.
Contents
To get maximum results, look at the themes. Make sure that they can address the needs of your kids, like reduce anxiety or build self-esteem.
