Animal Yoga for Preschool | Poem & Yoga Cards

Move like an animal while following a playful poem! “What Animals Do Yoga” pairs a picture poem with 9 animal yoga cards, giving preschoolers a way to listen, stretch, and try the poses together.

Use the teacher and student poem versions with the picture map for a guided circle-time activity, then keep moving with yoga games, challenges, and animal movement cards. Breathwork and sun salutations give you ways to begin with focus before the animal fun starts!
