They are instruction cards for "50 fun yoga activities for kids and grownups." The cards are easy to follow and we've been having fun with them.......
There are nine catagories which include:
Breathe ~ tune in and focus
Game ~ be playful and creative with friends
Balance ~ feel poised, composed, and aligned
Stand ~ become stable, strong, and balanced
Forward Bend ~ reach, release, and flex
Back Bend ~ be supple, open, and trustful
Twist & Stretch ~ twist, turn and extend
Partner ~ have fun working together
Time in ~ unwind, rest and revive
Here are a few examples of the cards..... on the back of each card there are step-by-step instructions (which I failed to show)
It's fun to find different ways to stretch........... and some people forget how difficult it is to hold your own body weight! Who needs a gym when you have poses like Warrior 1?
lol
Isaac tries the Tree pose. Ava's favorite is the Camel pose; which she is amazing at!
The downward dog is one of the most popular, recognized yoga pose.....
Next, Isaac does the Cat...........
Ava chooses the Cobra ........
Isaac with a version of the Triangle and Mountain poses.......
This is an exercise, called the elevator. It poses cooperation, connection, and teamwork :)
Isaac shows the Pretzel!
No matter the change in the seasons, I'm going to continue yoga in our wellness routine........and it's more fun and motivational when the whole family is involved :)

I discovered this poster online; "ABCs of Yoga for Kids" and though it was cute:
That looks like so much fun! And that's amazing how well Ava does the camel. I really struggle with that one!
