Annie Buckley presents an introductory yoga course for children in the format of a boxed deck of 50 colored cards, each indicating a very basic yoga position featuring a diagrammed silhouette (Gorilla, Airplane, Butterfly, Cat, Dancer, Flower, and so on). Purple cards offer beginning breathing instruction, light green ones diagram the most simple poses, and red, darker green, orange, and blue cards get progressively more difficult, while yellow cards apply to working with a partner. Readers initially make a breathing chart indicating what their air intake feels like during the course of the day, with categories such as fast, slow, shallow, and deep. Buckley also introduces simple visualization techniques, like imagining that the body is a wheel, with the belly being the center and the spine and legs as the spokes. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
