Product Description A colorful card deck featuring 48 simple yoga and mindfulness practices to help kids work through big emotions on and off the mat.“ Little Yogi Deck will be every parent’s best friend. A much-needed resource to help children cultivate emotional intelligence…” — Tracee Stanley, author of Radiant Rest and Empowered Life Self-Inquiry Oracle Sometimes our emotions are too much to handle, and we need help understanding and processing what we are feeling. The Little Yogi Deck teaches kids how to recognize and navigate these big emotions by introducing yoga and mindfulness as tools they can use to feel calmer and more in control. The deck makes important topics like strengthening attention, increasing self-awareness, and soothing the nervous system fun and easy to understand through poses like “The Wet Noodle,” “Toe-ga,” and “Grasshopper Flow.” The 48 cards are organized into eight color-coded categories—anger, worry, excitement, sadness, joy, jealousy, shame, and peace—to give kids specific practices for the variety of emotions they might be experiencing. Along with a practice, each card also features a vibrant illustration to visually depict the pose or activity. To offer additional support to parents, teachers, and caregivers, the deck includes a booklet explaining the approach for developing emotional intelligence in children through the practices offered. Review “I love, love, love the Little Yogi Deck. It is designed to support children in becoming mindful of their emotional states and teaches ways of expressing those emotions through movement practices. Becoming emotionally articulate is an invaluable life skill. Learning to identify and manage emotions keeps children from becoming overwhelmed and acting out in ways that can be harmful to themselves and others. The deck teaches self-regulation and self-soothing strategies that are fun, engage imagination, and support creativity. Every child should have access to this deck of cards. Every household and school system should make them available. Even though the deck was intended for children, adults can benefit too. I, for one, plan to get a deck for myself.” — Gail Parker, PhD, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, psychologist, yoga therapist, author of Restorative Yoga for Ethnic and Race-Based Stress and Trauma “ Little Yogi Deck will be every parent’s best friend. A much-needed resource to help children cultivate emotional intelligence, it is filled with accessible and fun tools that will create the foundation for radiant health, well-being, and empowerment.” — Tracee Stanley, author of Radiant Rest and Empowered Life Self-Inquiry Oracle “As a mother to a four-year-old, former school teacher, yoga and meditation teacher, and author, I appreciate Crystal McCreary’s Little Yogi Deck on so many levels. This deck is thoughtful, culturally relevant, informed by depth practice and study of yoga, and contains practices that are accessible to little people. The names of the practices and poses are intentional, age appropriate, and still honor the traditional names and origin. The directions are easy to follow and clear. The accompanying images reflect the diversity that our children come in. My son saw the deck and said, ‘Mama I can see myself being a yoga person like that kid. That looks fun!’ while pointing to one of the images. This deck is a must for little people, parents, educators, and yoga teachers everywhere.” — Octavia Raheem, author of Gather “What a great resource for youth and the adults who are caring for them! The Little Yogi Deck is an accessible tool that will help young people build embodied awareness and intelligence, which is a vital life skill to cultivate.” — Hala Khouri, MA, SEP, E-RYT, author of Peace from Anxiety: Get Grounded, Build Resilience, and Stay Connected amidst the Chaos “This beautifully illustrated yoga deck of cards and booklet for children of all colors is a treasure.
