I reviewed a digital copy, which was a little harder to navigate than the cards, but the information was good. I could see using these with my 3 year old niece to help her learn to manage her emotions and be more self-aware. Very good deck, highly recommend.

As a mother of a very active, rambunctious 4 year old boy, I'm always trying to find ways to keep him active and engaged, while at the same time teaching mindfulness, emotional management, and self-regulation. The Little Yogi Deck was an incredible visual way to keep him interested and involved in beginners Yoga. The illustrations are darling. The instructions are clear, concise and geared toward young children making it a fantastic activity for both children and adults. I would recommend this set to any parent feeling the effects of Covid-19 isolation with their littles. It has been a phenomenal tool for keeping my JKer moving, even while in doors during lockdowns and cold Canadian weather!

I was provided with an electronic copy of Little Yogi Deck by Crystal McCreary by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I appreciate the chance to review these cards and had a wonderful time introducing my son to the principles and poses of Yoga! We look forward to the release of this set and will absolutely be adding it to our collection and utilizing the valuable instruction to improve our physical and mental well-being.

Little Yogi Deck by Crystal McCreary is a book designed for children but is great for all ages!

If you want to learn some simple yoga practices, this book is excellent! Sure, it's marketed for kids but as an adult I found it to be quite helpful. It's simple, useful and really cute. It has easy steps to follow and makes yoga a little less confusing (and/or scary, depending on your interest).

The cards and their little descriptive cue cards are ridiculously helpful. I think this is an excellent resource for parents, kids and anyone interested in learning yoga. The illustrations are kiddish and simple, but it's designed for kids so you can't get too upset about that.

Overall, this book is a marvellous resource!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Shambhala Publications Inc for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to check out this amazing deck!!!

I cannot wait to use these cards with my young clients in therapy!! The positive affirmations that go with each yoga pose and the kid-friendly titles for each pose make these cards great for teaching mindfulness and yoga to children and adolescents. The illustrations are also super cute!!!

I chose LITTLE YOGI DECK looking for easy poses for myself and am so glad I did! It’s actually designed for kids, with 48 cards on managing emotions through yoga and mindfulness. Each card is color coded per emotion (anxiety, joy, anger, etc.), with wise doable actions for coping. A booklet on emotional intelligence is also included for parents. Genius, yes? Yes!

Thanks to the author, Shambhala Publications, and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. 5 of 5 Stars

This deck of yoga poses has adorable colorful illustrations and step by step directions to do each pose. As the mother of 8 and 6-year olds, I appreciate how easy they are to use, especially during this time of remote learning. My kids are familiar with yoga, but this deck offered different poses than usual, along with some familiar ones. It’s also great for helping with feelings. I would recommend this as a gift or if you’re looking for something a little bit different to do with your kids.

This would be a great gift for classrooms or familes wanting to start the practice of yoga or mindfulness. The cards make the quiz, way and accessible for anyone. I can't wait too start giving these myself.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

I have an 8 year old who likes to teacher her younger siblings yoga. As a teacher, I like to teach my students different regulation strategies. These cards will suit both our needs. The pictures and poses are simple enough to follow along and the instructions are great for adding in the extra element of a calming strategy and some mindfulness. These are going to be a hit!

I absolutely loved this little deck for children. I am definitely going to buy this for use at home with my 4 year old daughter. She loves yoga and its a great little activity to focus her heavy expressive personality. It was really nice to do together as well to just stretch and slow down.
