Twenty-four yoga pose cards students can pick up and work through on their own — hold times, rep counts, and cues on every card.

Each card gives one pose: a clear illustration, a hold time, how many times to repeat it, simple instructions, and a tip for doing it well. Boat, Tree, Warrior, Downward Dog, Bridge, Cobra, Pigeon, and seventeen more.

Print them for stations, hand them to small groups, project a card on the screen for the whole class, or send them home with families. They work anywhere a student can stand.

Best used for: station rotations · brain breaks and transitions · calm corners · sub plans · early finishers · indoor recess · family take-home activities

Purpose and Benefits of Yoga Task Cards

Yoga is one of the few things in PE that builds the body and settles the mind at the same time. These cards give students a way to move, stretch, and refocus — with enough structure that they don't need you standing over them.

• Promote Physical Fitness: Poses build flexibility, balance, muscular strength, and endurance.

• Support Self-Regulation: Slow, controlled movement and steady breathing give students a tool they can use to reset when they're frustrated or wound up.

• Work in Any Space: Every pose has a small footprint, so a crowded classroom works as well as an open gym.

• Encourage Independent Practice: Hold times and rep counts are printed right on the card, so students know exactly what to do without being talked through it.

What's Included

24 Yoga Pose Task Cards

• Pose Identification: One pose per card, clearly named.

• Vibrant, Student-Friendly Graphics: Colorful illustrations show the pose from the angle that makes it easiest to copy.

• Hold Times and Rep Counts: Every card specifies how long to hold and how many times to repeat.

• Clear Instructions: Step-by-step directions written for a student to read and follow.

• Tips for Success: A cue on each card for getting the pose right.

PE Movement Activity Log (Word and PDF) — an optional tracking sheet where students record completed poses and reflect on their progress.

Key Features

• Three File Formats: PDF, JPG, and PowerPoint — print them, hand them out, or project them, with no reformatting.

• Two Layouts: Single-card or double-card, depending on how many you're printing.

• Compact and Space-Friendly: Designed for small indoor spaces so every student can participate.

• Movement and Mindfulness Together: Builds flexibility and strength while teaching students to slow down and notice their breathing.

• Independent or Teacher-Led: Structured enough for a student working alone, flexible enough for whole-class instruction.

What You'll Need

• A small space to move — a gym, a classroom corner, or a living room

• A soft surface if you have one — a mat, carpet, or rug adds comfort but isn't required

• A timer or stopwatch for the holds, or just count out loud

• Optional: quiet music to set the tone

How to Use These Task Cards

• Download and Extract: Open the zip file and choose your format — PDF, JPG, or PowerPoint.

• Print or Project: Print a set for stations, hand out individual cards to small groups, or put the PowerPoint on a screen for the whole class.

Who Will Benefit

• PE Teachers: Run them as a station rotation, a warm-up, or the calm-down at the end of class.

• Classroom Teachers: Pull three or four for a brain break when a class needs to reset between subjects.

• Substitutes: Project a card or hand out a stack — no explanation needed.

• Counselors and SEL Leads: Post a few in a calm corner where a student can self-regulate without being talked through it.
