Best-selling and award-winning LA-based author and educator Teresa Anne Power brings fun into teaching by using the A, B, C's as a framework for introducing the teachings and techniques of yoga to kids.

In addition to the book, Power and series illustrator Kathleen Rietz also have a series of colorful and beautifully illustrated flash cards, a poster, and a coloring book so kids can be truly hands-on in their pursuit of yoga. -- LA Yoga Magazine

I am loving the Learning Cards.  I use them in my preschool yogaclasses.  The illustrations are beautifully and gracefully drawn, andfor those who like visuals...this is a key element.  If I teach a smallclass, I actually take each card around so the children can see not only the animals, but the pose too!  Often times, I will begin the class bysaying this class will be sponsored by the letters: "R, C, and D"...Thecards become part of games we can play, sounds that we make and even dopartner yoga with them.  Sometimes I even have the children come upfront, sit on my sheepskin and become the "teacher"...to demonstrate the pose.  I guide them through it and they get to be the leader.  It's awin-win for everyone!   The favorite ones are of course down-dog, thetelephone and the "do nothing" pose.  That's usually a hit with theteachers most of all!  Enjoy these incredible cards...I certainly do! -- Siri Krishna Khalsa, preschool yoga teacher.
