Details:

The word “yoga” is derived from Sanskrit and means to unite, to bring together, to connect. The Strong Nations Yoga Cards connect the ancient practice of yoga with Indigenous teachings. These cards honour our connection to each other, to nature, to spirit, and to this amazing planet we all share.

Handy, user-friendly, and fun, the Strong Nations Yoga Cards illustrate physical and reflective practices with adorable artwork by Bill Helin and Laura Timmermans.

The Cards
The Strong Nations Yoga Cards deck includes 25 double-sided interconnecting cards. Each card is 3.5” x by 4.5” and presents a physical practice on one side and a reflective practice on the other. The endless combinations and versatility of these cards make them ideal for all levels and ages.

The Yoga Practice
24 yoga poses are explained with simplified text and colourful illustrations by Laura Timmermans.

The cards are colour-coded into four aspects of a yoga practice:

• 4 green “Opening Breath” cards
• 8 yellow “Warm-up Pose” cards
• 8 purple “Active Pose” cards
• 4 blue “Closing Pose” cards

Choose an individual card or one of each colour for a shorter yoga practice, or create a sequence of several cards for a longer practice.

The Reflective Practice
The reflective practice, illustrated by Bill Helin, follows the Seven Sacred Teachings and incorporates Indigenous values. These reflections can be used before, during, or after a yoga practice to deepen mindfulness. Choose a single card to guide self-reflection or journal writing, or use with a friend or in a sharing circle.  

The cards are colour-coded into four aspects of a reflective practice:

• 8 yellow “Respect” cards with a focus on respect and love to the world around us
• 4 green “Witness” cards with a focus on humility, courage, and interconnectedness
• 8 purple “Connected” cards with a focus on truth and honesty in all living beings
• 4 blue “Gratitude” cards with a focus on the wisdom that surrounds us
