Body Poetry: Yoga Cards

A healthy body and mind is important for the development of all children, at all grade levels. Research has shown that yoga has many benefits. Aside from the benefits that yoga has on the physical well-being of children, yoga in school has been shown to reduce behavior problems, test anxiety, and anger. It has also been shown to increase self-regulation and focus. The Body Poetry Yoga Cards are the perfect introduction to yoga. The cards are split into three levels: easy, intermediate, and challenging. On the front of each card is a photograph of a child posed by a bright image similar to the yoga pose, the reverse side has illustrated instructions showing how to achieve the proper body position. The easy to-follow teacher guide includes stretching exercises and follow up activities to integrate yoga into other areas of the curriculum. 16 cards, 8½ x 11".
