Why it works (yoga × play × learning)

Children learn best when bodies and brains work together. Animal poses + playful rules add meaning, motivation, and memory—so kids don’t just do yoga, they love it. Evidence shows that:

• Yoga supports attention, mood, and self-control in school-age children, with low reports of adverse effects.
• Learning through play builds language, social-emotional skills, and cognitive flexibility—the foundations of lifelong learning.
• Physically active lessons improve on-task behavior and can boost academic outcomes compared with sedentary lessons.
• Movement and gesture deepen understanding and memory when children are learning new concepts.

The Animal Cards turn that research into an easy, high-energy toolkit—ideal for short resets or longer story-driven classes.

Classroom & therapy use

• 3–5 minute brain breaks: Draw one card, embody the animal, breathe like it, name one feeling before/after.
• Centers & stations: Sort by habitat or movement (crawl, fly, swim) and create mini-flows to practice sequencing.
• SEL moments: Pair “big feelings” with regulating animal breaths (e.g., Lion Breath to release tension, Butterfly Breath to soften).
• OT/SLP support: Use visuals + movement for motor planning, crossing midline, vocabulary, and turn-taking.
• Inclusive options: Offer seated/standing versions, walls/chairs for balance, and celebrate approximate shapes—not perfection.
