Well written
This is the book to buy if you are trying to get your little ones involved in yoga. There are ten routines presented to enjoy with children between ages almost two and five. A chapter is devoted to how yoga can help you and your child. Very specific examples are given. Caricatures presented in the book explain the benefits of each pose, directions on how to demonstrate the poses, Words to say to your child when asking them to do the poses, how to use yoga poses in everyday life, how to incorporate educational activities into the yoga routine, and reference charts of poses at the end of each chapter. Also included are Super-Duper poses used to bring wandering children back to the yoga practice. I’ve used the book to engage my great granddaughter, who is under two into yoga, and I was pleasantly surprised at the results. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start their child practicing yoga. Everything you will need to know is in this book. You need not have any experience with yoga to use this book.

Love this for my toddler!
My 25-month old LOVES to do yoga – it’s become part of our bedtime routine every night and before naps. She does the moves amazingly well (just from watching me do them), and she names which ones she wants to do each night. We mix together the moves from 2-3 ‘routines’. It’s great for the bedtime routine (whether we’re burning excess energy or doing quiet ones), and it’s been neat to see her enjoy moving her body. She now sometimes stretches into her own poses to see how they feel, just during normal play. I’d recommend this book for anyone – the illustrations are helpful, and the songs and presentation ideas are really helpful for keeping your little one’s attention/interest, too. My toddler can do far more (and better) than I ever would have expected, so don’t wait!

So Fun
Great concept and education on options for yoga with your child. Could be more user friendly with implementation.

This is a really neat book to incorporate into any part of the day – we tend to tap into it right before bed. My daughter has a few favorite poses, and of course enjoys making up her own poses. The book is divided into sections, and sometimes we just do parts of it, individual poses or the whole book. The pictures are a great way for the little ones to follow along.

Toddlers do the best child pose!
2yr grand daughter and I use this when she’s feeling a little cranky, or bored, or it’s rainy and we can’t go run – amazing how the world of breathing well, and stretching deeply can sooth even a tiny spirit! Good directions.

a nice follow up to the first one
i bought this to have the follow up for itsy bitsy yoga for infants. it follows in the spirit of the first book and it does great. it doesn’t say though how to slow down a toddler long enough for yoga but i guess i have to figure that one out. if you liked the first one, you’ll like this one. save yourself the hassle and get the together if you can.

Good for Toddlers, Not so much Preschoolers
This is a great book with really creative ideas to do with those 18 mo – 3 yr olds. I was disappointed that these were not really challenging enough for the 3 1/2 to PreK 5 year olds, since the book said Toddlers AND Preschoolers. As a caregiver I tried a few of these out with some 4 year olds and it didn’t really hold their attention, even when using the suggested challenges in the “Yogi Wogi” section. For the 2 year olds however it was right on, and good fun. If the author came out with a book for the older Preschool student I think I would give it a try.

Really cute book – good for mommy-child bonding
I bought this for my granddaughter and her toddler. I don’t know if she’s using it, but it is a really cute book. I love yoga for basic stretching and getting my body warmed up for exercising or stretching out the kinks when I’ve abused it all day sitting. And it looks a great mommy-child bonding experience.

exercises are difficult to understand, you’ll need to read it many times and practice without your kids before without even thinking about doing this with them

As a childminder I found this book fun and informative. I do yoga myself and wanted to be able to use my experience safely. The children love doing the movements and the information in the book enables you to use yoga to distract children having tantrums and you end up having a real giggle with them.
