Meant for kids, but adults love them too (or at least I do!)
Customer Rating:
I know these are meant for children (or for parents to use with younger children), but this adult beginner yogi intends to make good use of them for herself. I bought both the Yoga Pretzels card deck and Rodney Yee's Yoga Poetry of the Body card deck. Of the two sets, I much prefer Yoga Pretzels. The Yoga Pretzel cards are colorful and joyful to look at and make me feel happy. Directions for the various positions and breath are easy to understand and the questions, quotes and sayings on the cards are appealing and thought provoking without being pretentious or flowery. They just make sense to me. I agree with the other posters who mention that it is too bad that some of the poses have been given new names instead of using generally accepted names and that is why I am giving four stars instead of five. All in all though, I think these cards are absolutely fabulous!
Great for teachers in the classroom
Customer Rating:
Our school ordered a set of Yoga Pretzels cards for each teacher to be used in the classroom. With such great illustrations and an excellent variety of postures, the students and teachers are really enjoying these cards. A great way to get in daily physical activity without leaving the classroom!!!
Great Activity

I really love these cards...over the last few months I have been trying to encourage my 8 yr old son to appreciate and enjoy yoga. For the most part he's been disinterested and resistant until these cards....Last night he actually said...mommy lets do YOGA...It sorts different poses and breathing techniques onto different cards with wonderful affirmations...its amazing. He picks and we play yoga instead of "DOING" it. Also since my son is an animal enthusiast that aspect is more obvious with the card format. Further more each card has step by step instructions and pictures to follow. I am so excited to be able to share this with my son....I strongly recommend them.
Good notecards!

This is a box of cards with poses, games, etc. It is very easy to store in the box and I can take it to my kids yoga class. Sometimes it is fun to have the kids pick a card and we all act out what is on thier card. I think this is a great idea and I hope to get the other versions of these cards.
Thank You Karen
My son is ready to go!

Arrived yesterday and my son has taken over the box. (He's 8). We are going to get started together. I like the descriptions of the breathing and how you should 'feel' when you do the movements/relaxing poses. Since I'm taking a yoga class (i'm a newb) and he's going by the names on the cards, it's a bit confusing when he says, I can do the 'turtle' or I can do the 'rainbow.' But for him I find I like 'rainbow' as opposed to 'corpse pose.' Also, the cards are not the size of a 'deck' of cards. They are larger, more the size of a DVD case. The box is sturdy thick cardboard and has a nice flip top. I'm thinking it will help us take care of them properly. He did go thru each card and at the end has decided he wants the book and the pretzel mat. (Way to go for the marketing plan!!)
These don't seem too 'baby' for someone his age and I think that up to 9, maybe pushing 10 could use them also.
