Children’s Book of Yoga
My older grandson really got into this……thoroughly enjoyed mimicking plants and animals. Good book. Am waiting for his younger brother to be old enuf to try this out on him.

Great Yoga Book for Children
This is very well illustrated & easy for children to follow the yoga instructions & positions. It is nice to teach yoga to children at a young age.

Seven-year-old yoga kid loves it!
My daughter loves it. She immediately sat down and started identifying the poses she knew and ones she wanted to try. We are very satisfied.

The official yoga book for kids
I bought a whole slew of yoga for kids books and this is by far the best one. All of the others repeat the information from this book, but in a less clear way and without the great pictures. This is the one to get.

Five Stars
Great!!

Nothing spectacular
I can only give it 2 stars because most of the poses listed are regular poses with just a name change. Any instructor can make up his/her own animal names for most of the poses. I bought it used and am glad I didn’t pay full retail.

I’m not a certified yoga professional, just someone who has been doing yoga on-and-off over the last 10 years or so and am at an intermediate level. My oldest daughter, 7, has just started doing ballet as she developed an interest in it in the past year after watching the new Angelina Ballerina. As she has never been keen on exerting herself physically, she suddenly found her body to be quite stiff at doing dance. So I suggested she do regular stretching exercises at home once a day, for short periods, to encourage more general flexibility. I was looking around for stretching exercises to get her to do… at first, we did the usual PE type stretching, but they just seemed a bit dull and boring (well, to me anyway…) So I got this book and started teaching her using the book as a guide. As I said before, I have had experience of yoga so a few poses in the book weren’t at all new to me, but this book actually has quite a few exercises which, on appearance, do not resemble classical yoga poses at all. I tried them too as I did them alongside my daughter, and found them to be very good for general bodily fitness and stretch as well as the MOST IMPORTANT thing : FUN! Yes, my daughter loves these little yoga sessions I have with her once a day. I even got my other daughter (who’s only 3) to join in, and its often a barrel of laughs! The author who wrote this book (who is a very good-looking, young-looking grandmother by the way!) who is also a yoga instructor in California, is genius. Its clear she is familiar with classical yoga but classical yoga can be too dry and difficult to teach to young children so she’s come up with these really fun moves that kids enjoy, which work to utilise those muscles and stretch them, yet at the same time, really work up a real interest in doing yoga amongst young children. The book is well-illustrated and the instructions are clear. It also touches on the philosophy behind yoga and the right attitude for yoga. Its not like those gym classes which purport to do yoga but really its like a more exotic form of aerobics class, which isn’t what yoga is really about, I feel. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to teach yoga to children.
