As must-have for parents and kids yoga teachers alike!
As a yoga teacher working with 3-11-year-olds, this book is my go-to when planning my classes. The activities and games are fun, interactive, and challenging. And, in between the laughing and playing, they are learning powerful tools for relaxation and breathing that helps them navigate the stressful situations that arise in their lives now and as they grow.As a mom of a 9- and 12-year-old, this book is also in our family fun library. Getting to share yoga with my children has deepened our connection and trust. Because we’ve been doing yoga together for a while, my kids are always skeptical of new resources I bring into the house. They instantly took to this book and take turns leading our family practice and taking out the book to use on their own!Thanks, Sara for another fabulous resource!!

Practical, thorough, and fun!
I’m so pleased that I purchased this book! As both a kids’ yoga teacher and a Grade One teacher, I find this book to be grounded in best practice around child development and and age-appropriateness. AND, it’s very user-friendly and fun! I love that I can open up to many sections and choose a game or yoga activity that resonates with my group of yogis. My students are enjoying these activities! This is my third purchase of yoga books from Sara, and it won’t be my last! Excellent resource!

Love Love Love!
Finally a book that helps teaching yoga to kids fun and easy! As a mom I know how children love to learn through playing games. I love how Go Go Yoga for Kids: Yoga Games & Activities includes such a variety of games for different ages and skills. I have already tried a few of the mindfulness games and balance games with my kids. Will definitely be a book that I refer to often for different ideas.

An Amazing Resource for Teaching Kids!
This book is so useful! As a kids yoga teacher, I am always looking for new breathing exercises, games, mindful activities, etc. to do each week so my students donât get bored doing the same things over and over. Itâs so easy to flip through the sections to find new ideas to mix up my class. There are different sections for teaching different ages and even family classes, which makes this a useful resource for classes of all ages!

Sara Weis has written a core book with exceptional expertise based on her many years as a grade school teacher. I can recommend this book 100% to anyone who wants to learn how best to teach children yoga and mindfulness. Not only the children will have fun, the teacher will have great fun teaching them and sharing all they learn from Sara Weis! Great ideas for pacing, enticing the children to participate, marvelous ideas for games and how to structure the lessons. I can only say, “GoGo for it!” and thank you Sara Weis for guiding us through your book.
