What a great resource for a parent of two very independent girls. The lessons in this book will be explored more and certainly cherished for many years to come.

This book is concise with information about developmental phases of children and how to adapt a yoga practice to them. The ideas for family bonding and how to create a good flow are very helpful. I am excited for the possibilities this book can open.

Good book! It has great activities! I really like the mindfulness meditations that the author included, and the props section. The games seem fun, too! This is a really great book and kids will be happy to dive in to yoga!

This seems like a fine book but I held onto it until my kid was old enough so that I can just use my regular yoga book. I will say that in some places this book refers to various poses and only says what chapter they’re in and not what page, which makes for a lot of flipping back and forth.

excellent resource

[Stacey Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent information on engaging children in a yoga practice. Focuses on a home practice and teaching children at home, but can also be used in a small group school setting. Age groups range from toddler to pre-teens.

I'm sure I will refer to this until it falls apart and then I'll get another copy!
