  Yoga Garden Game
Kids naturally are good at and enjoy yoga. While playing The Yoga Garden™ Game, they use their imaginations by exploring poses named after plants and animals. The objective of The Yoga Garden™ Game is to plant a flower garden before night falls. As players move the bumblebee marker around the board, they learn classic yoga poses as well as have the chance to make up their own. Jennifer Durand created this cooperative game. when her husband imitated the three-legged plastic table that comes with take-out pizza. Their four-year-old son guessed it immediately.

For phone orders please call Carrie at 415-577-3738.  For wholesale Game orders, please call Jennifer at 415-298-1887.

Sample Gamecards


Try a Pose!
A few words of common-sense caution and a bit of fine print: Your body should never be forced into a position that is painful or does not feel right. All exercise has its attendant risks so consult a physician before beginning any exercise program. The creator of this game and this website disclaim any liability or loss in connection with exercises on this page.


FAQ


Are there pictures of poses?
Yes. There are 10 Yoga Pose cards that are a part of The Yoga Garden™ Game. You can see some of them by visiting the About Yoga page of this web site.

How do you win the game?
The Yoga Garden Game is a cooperative game. That means that no one person wins and competition is not a part of the game. Instead, all players together are trying to plant a flower garden before night falls. If the flowers all get planted, everyone wins. If night falls first, well... there's always tomorrow.

Movement Songs CD Cost: $15 + Shipping

Movement Songs CD
The Yoga Garden Movement Songs for Children were inspired by The Yoga Garden children’s’ classes. The songs are designed to be accompanied by simple movements comprised of basic dance steps and yoga poses. It is not necessary to be a dance or yoga teacher to learn and teach these movement songs. They are for everyone to enjoy, and include notes of instruction to make it easy. Always feel free to create your own movements and dances, too. Remember to let the children lead you on their way- they know exactly what to do! For phone or wholesale orders please call Jennifer at 415-298-1887 or email jennifer@theyogagarden.com
