We use the Yoga posters and cards everyday at my tutoring center. We use them for brain breaks during a session and my students absolutely love it. So helpful to get out some wiggles and to refocus our minds.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share how your use the yoga posters and yoga cards!
I love that you are using them as brain breaks in your tutoring center.
So fun!

I love that no matter which theme I am curious to teach or looking for new ideas this is the only place to find it in my opinion! The options are so vast!! Their bundle packs are such a bargain!! I use their resources daily due to the excellent illustrations that I use to display during practice for my yogis to view. I also use the yoga decks as a pre-lesson before we begin our practice. Love this site!!!
Hi Diandra
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me and the whole KYS team!
You've made our day! We are so incredibly happy to hear that our yoga resources are useful and that your little yogis are enjoying themselves.
Thank you!

A great "box" of inspiration that is easy for me to translate and go through with my children. Think though that it is a "bit sad" that many of the images are different but the poses are the same in different card packs. ie the lounge is Green Iguana in the Jungle card deck but a cricket in the Garden deck.
Hi Annika
Thank you for sharing your feedback! I'm so happy to hear that the Mindfulness Cards are a great 'box' of inspiration to easily introduce mindfulness to children!
Yes, as with the playfulness and creativity that goes along with children's yoga, we draw from the basic yoga postures and relate them to a number of different keywords so that children can use their imagination to put themselves in different shapes. This is the beauty of children's yoga, that children use their imagination and creativity to move and learn!
Thanks again,
Giselle

Can't wait to get started with these cards! I'm teaching a Yoga/Mindfullness/Art therapy class to my 8th graders next fall. Really excited to incorporate these cards into daily the lessons.
Hi Heather
Thank you for feedback!
I'm looking forward to hearing how your therapy class with the 8th graders go!

I've been ordering pdfs of yoga stories for years. The partner poses was the first time I ordered the physical cards. I will always do that in the future! They're well made and just a little more in price compared to just the PDF. The kids yoga stories are always great! Thank you for creating such great materials!

I’m a retired teacher looking into doing an after school 6 week yoga program with the possibility of creating curriculum for the local public school. I’m enjoying this class and the resources are fabulous. Thank you!
Thank you for the program to help push me over the edge! It was exactly what I needed. The information is so good and now I have it at my finger tips as I work to write the grants. My dreams are BIG!
As an Elementary School Counselor who was eager, but hesitant to introduce yoga & mindfulness into my school, this was THE BEST place to start! The bootcamp (program) broke everything down into simple, manageable steps. I successfully introduced & completed yoga & mindfulness lessons in my school this school year because of it! HUGE SUCCESS!!
I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and the other community members. Giselle is an expert, and she structured this program so well and so simply. The breakdown of each module is very manageable and clear. It truly felt like step-by-step instructions for your own customizable mindfulness plan. I am extremely grateful for this program and all that I got out of it! I will most definitely be attending next time!
I am physiotherapist and yoga instructor who has a fair bit of experience sharing yoga and mindfulness with children. This workshop helped me gather my big pile of whirly ideas and put them down in a logical way to be able to be prepped and organized for multiple classes. Giselle goes above and beyond to provide any guidance needed. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone seeking a simple yet effective format for bringing yoga and mindfulness into their children's lives in a way the works in their environment.
I am truly grateful for the wealth of knowledge this course provided! After taking your class, I was able to persuade my school to allow me to teach yoga classes as an elective for my middle school students. This experience gave me the confidence to teach yoga full-time in daycares, schools, studios, and private settings! Your resources and books have been invaluable in that transition! (I also love using them with my young nieces as a way to get them interested in yoga too!). Teaching yoga full-time has been incredibly rewarding.
My takeaway is that I’m already doing all these yoga and mindfulness activities, but now I need to bring the intentionality behind what we do. It will help me be present with the children. I feel more confident going forward, and now I have a workable plan!
Your resources are a great fit. I want the students to learn strength in their bodies and mind—and experience what it feels like to be calm. I can do this by providing tools, games, and techniques. I’m so excited to build a strong yoga program at my school!
My takeaway is that we’re not doing the yoga activities 'to' them, but rather we are participating in the activities 'with' them. I also never thought of teaching mindfulness through sensory activities. I can see that empowering the teachers because they are probably already doing a lot of mindfulness activities without realizing it!
I struggle to explain it (yoga and mindfulness) and sometimes get push back as to what it is, what it represents. I cant wait to use this with the class I am in as well as, our school to explain it in a way that makes it an important part of everyone's day.
Oh my gosh! You are amazing! Thank you so much. The kids have had such a good time so far with our new program, and these will be wonderful to add. You have a life long customer!
I am reorganizing my curriculum to embrace more mindfulness and yoga for kids practice - your stories are brilliant and the cards wonderful. I thank you as an educator in the profession for over 40+ years. I have a bag of tricks - with favorite teacher resources and you are now among the most esteemed.
I was so impressed with how well organized everything was! I enjoyed and learned so much from all of the course materials, lectures, and assignments. Thanks so much to Giselle and Kids Yoga Stories for giving me the gift of designing a yoga and mindfulness program for my school! I can’t wait to implement my program from the first day of school. Giselle is one of the amazing humans I have met so far.
I went into the whole experience overwhelmed and having no idea where to start my school yoga program. I had a ton of resources, but no exact doable, step-by-step plan—and just thinking about it made me anxious! This was the most practical and organized program. The breakdown of the materials made sense and was easy to follow, and I was able to accomplish everything I set out to do in only five days—with no anxiety!!! It was also affordable, the KYS team replied to all my crazy e-mails in a timely manner, and they gave input/suggestions specifically for my school yoga program (not just general statements—input specific to my program). AMAZING! Who even does that?! I've been a school counselor for over fifteen years, and this was one of the best workshops I've ever attended! I plan on being a lifelong member and supporter of Giselle and Kids Yoga Stories!
I have been teaching children for over 30 years. I love these packs for the visuals and fresh take on yoga play they bring. Sometimes it only take a glance at a Yoga Stories card to spark a new idea.
At the ripe old age of 50 these card help bring out my inner child so I play yoga with laughter and light.
Hi Angela
Thank you for your kind words!
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
I especially love that the yoga games bring out your inner child with laughter and light!
