Customer Reviews

Amazing yoga for kids!

I pull this out when my girls (5 and 2) are getting loopy or grumpy, and it works everytime. I love the poems and images, and they love trying all the poses (though my 5 year old gets VERY disgruntled with low crow!)... I recommend this to everyone, whether you have any experience with yoga or not.

Lovely!

This is a beautiful book for children and adults alike. The art is wonderful. I've love posters of some of these illustrationts!

Great book!

The librarian read this at story time and the kids loved it. Not every position can be done by all ages but it is sure fun to try. Plus, The book is broken up nicely, poem by poem, position, by position which makes it easy to do. I highly recommend this!
