Guru Yoga Cards is a 50 card deck of 5 colored sequences that are laid out one at a time. The cards are matched using the white dots and your asked to stretch, breathe, and focus. This simple method allows anyone regardless of age or native language the ability to teach themselves yoga.

The practice of yoga or things like yoga such as meditation and tai-chi cultivate what we call mindfulness. Mindfulness has been shown by recent research to improve not only our physical and mental health but also our relationships and communities.

The cards were inspired while Caleb was teaching adults at Arkansas Yoga & Therapy Center and children (K-5) at the Fayetteville Montessori School. The intuitive design of Guru Yoga Cards makes yoga accessible to billions of people through self-education. We believe these cards can expand our community and we need your help to bring it to the world.

So if you've never experienced yoga and are looking for an easy to follow introduction or your a seasoned veteran looking for a way to be kind to yourself in-between classes this is the perfect tool to add to your bag. Your support is helping us change the world.

Namaste,

Caleb & Tearyawna

INSPIRED DESIGN



Montessori Yoga Class lead by Caleb 2013

Guru Yoga Cards was designed while Caleb was teaching as an assistant teacher at Fayetteville Montessori School in Fayetteville, AR. The Montessori curriculum of self-education inspired him to create a way for children to learn yoga without large class sizes. To be honest, he felt like his classes were more like gym classes and didn't feel like it was cultivating mindfulness in children.

What started 5 years ago as matching shapes with stick figure images has now evolved into minimalist designed cards that are not only perfect for children but excellent for anyone interested in learning yoga. With three instructional sentences translated into 8 languages and no distractions the design is truly for anyone regardless of nationality, gender, religion, or socioeconomic status.

Original Concept Designs from 2013

Our love of design and computers along with a passion to change the world has culminated into the creation of a wonderful product that can be used in schools, at work, and of course at home. We believe that Mindfulness can be a tool to change the world and that's why we've created Guru Yoga Cards.

Lets do it together,

Caleb & Tearyawna
