Excellent resource!

This book is an excellent resource for teaching yoga to young children in a controlled, fun and exciting way. I am a preschool teacher and mom and have had just wonderful results! It's a must-have!

YogaKids:Educating the Whole Child Through Yoga

I loved this book! It is an incredible resource for me in teaching children yoga. It is interactive and intelligent. The children love the excercises and enjoy the colorful pages. There is something for everyone here and it is a highly recommended addition to any parent, teacher, or child's facilitation into the world of yoga.

Amazing Holistic Approach for Children

The fullness of this book with its approach of the multiple intelligence holistic view of how we all....not only children...can learn in fun ways is awesome. The book is visually appealing and the information is easily accessed when researching ideas. It does not surprise me that the book meets so many needs in such a creative manner, as my experience with YogaKids has been and continues to be such a creative and encouraging journey. Thank you Marsha for once again inspiring the work that is so helpful to children and society at large.

The best gift for you and your child!

YogaKids, Educating the Whole Child Through Yoga is much more than a yoga book - it is a gift from the leading authority on yoga for children. The book goes well beyond Ms. Wenig's award-winning YogaKids video and is beautifully written with colorful photos, over 50 poses and multiple activities to enrich and expand a child's world. It is a great resource for parents, teachers and caregivers interested in a unique and playful approach to education. What a great way to learn science, anatomy, language, math....by moving our bodies and connecting to the world around us. Ms. Wenig's commitment to educating children is inspired by some of the great educators in the past century including Drs. Maria Montessori and Howard Gardner. Both adults and children will love this book. When I open this book I feel happy!
