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.

I LOVE Itsy Bitsy Yoga!!!!

I am SO happy that Helen produced this second Itsy Bitsy Yoga book for toddlers and pre-schoolers! I really love the section for each pose that describes how to incorporate that pose into daily life to make things easier and more fun. I use "crane pose" to get my son's pants, socks and shoes on. "Bridge pose" helps with diaper changes. Sure, sitting down for several minutes of yoga brings great delight to my toddler, but 'yoga on the go' is a lifesaver for mom!

Outstanding!

This is the 2nd book I got from Helen. After looking through her two dvds on baby yoga and her book Yoga for Toddlers, it's fair to admit that Helen is a genius! This book is GREAT for anyone seriously working with small children and who wants to incorporate fun-filled action that is also important to children's health and physical development. This book is ground breaking because I've ever seen anyone incorporate such concepts into a kindergarten or elementary school. And the poses do WORK! These ideas should seriously be considered for kids pre-k and up in any school in any country. I can't wait for the dvd - if there is one on this book! Helen is a genius!

18-month old yogi

I've just begun to use this book, and it is fantastic. My 18-month old son is very active and really enjoys trying out different poses after watching me do a short routine. He especially likes down dog, which is not surprising given that babies like to look at the world from different vantage points. The author gives good advice on how to instruct your child using simple language and keeps the routines brief, which is perfect for us at this point. Overall, we've had a lot of fun and have laughed quite a bit. A fun way to engage with your toddler.
