Great Info for Yoga Teachers

I just started teaching toddlers and everything in the book works so well. I have learned so much and my kids are having so much fun! This book is very comprehensive. Jody is passionate about her work with kids! She is a real pro and her work with music and movement is a delight!

nextgenerationyoga.com is a magical world

Jodi Komitor is a brilliant woman and a kidz yogini par excellence. The children and parents who visit her studion in manahattan are transformed. I even saw Krishna Das there putting kids into gleeful rapture at a kids' kirtan one afternoon. She is a special woman and a great author. This book is a gold mine of exercises and instruction. If you have a child, and you believe in yoga,you should get this book. Jodi's love for children and yoga comes through every page.

great book

i teach yoga to children and this is an awesome book, not only for reference when planning my lessons, but for my own practice as well. one of the best childrens yoga books out there.

Yoga, it IS fun!

I thought yoga would be boring, but it isn't! I read the whole book and did each of the exercises with my kids. My back is stronger than ever and my kids want to practice every day. If you have a little floor space and a little time, you can can master yoga with this book. I think it is good for hyper kids too. They learn that exercise can be a calming experience. All in all, the kids like it even more than I do!

A wonderful guide

I not only have read this book to gain the knowledge i needed to know about yoga for kids, but i have since put it to use with my 5 year old and what terrific results i've seen. My son is very over active and sometimes is uncontrolable. Through the things we've learned in this book, he is sleeping better, eating better, and is more content to relax than ever before. I highly reccommend this book to every parent who wants excellent results in the beauty of yoga.
