Customer Reviews

Great introductory book!

My daughter loves this book. She picks this one every time she gets to choose a bed-time story. She even does the poses during the day and remembers the English and Sanskrit name.

Love It!

My children love the story and love to mimic the moves, they are much better then mommy and daddy imitating the moves first try most times.

My kid was glued to the book

I am a preschool yoga teacher and I have seen a few books, but this one is fabulous! My own 3 year old was glued to the book and after reading it she said "again". I definitely plan on using this book when I teach as a little story time. It also gives you step by step instructions on how to do the poses for any beginners. LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!

my daughter loves it!

Love the illustrations, love the text, love that my 5 yr old daughter is stretching and doing yoga, love love love this book! We got the bendo guy that matches it too! sooo cute!

Great for Beginners!

I was pleasantly surprised at how this book presented basic yoga poses to young children. My two-year-old son loved it since all the poses were related to types of jobs various parents had in the story. (I.E. "Niki says her mommy's a gardener. Sometimes, my daddy's a tree.") Then on the next page a great illustration of the pose and how to do it. Other poses include fish, dog, triangle, airplane, bridge, plow, lion, and of course a pretzel! I cannot say enough about the great pictures in this book...brightly colored and very distinctive! I think this book will have a wide range of readers...toddlers to elementary ages for sure.
