While these few weeks of social distancing may have actually come as a surprise break for us adults, it can get difficult for kids — used to school, friends and the outdoors — to channel all their energy during house arrest. If you're having trouble thinking up innovative ways to engage the tots, then there's a new, healthy option to explore. Imagine yoga, rhymes and colourful Gond, Madhubani and Warli art all coming together. This is what Prabhadevi-based yoga instructor Rashmi Ramesh's Yoga Guppy flashcards are all about."
Rashmi, who has been teaching yoga for 11 years, says, "Every time I looked for content to make asanas fun, I realised most of the good stuff was from the West. I wanted to make yoga cool for kids so I started ideating on the flashcards two years ago," she says. Illustrated by her friend, Debjani Bhattacharya, each card displays an asana with its name in English and Sanskrit on one side, and a small poem on the other side. "Apart from giving a sense of the postures, the poems are aimed at positive self-affirmation."
