I purchased this book to give to my six year old niece for her birthday coming up this fall. I've been perusing the contents, and I find myself thinking maybe I should get another one for me!

As a trained health education specialist, I really appreciate how the authors have organized the book into a variety of different yoga sequences all with themes, such as poses that kick, poses that get wet, and out of this world poses. It shows that they know that it's important to really engage children on their level while teaching.

And it's not just the names of the themes that are fun. The explanations of the poses are fun too. Many of them offer information of interest to a child, such as how far a lion cub can hear his mama roar! They also offer benefits to each pose that the "teacher" can discuss with the child as the child's interest in this great form of exercise is learned.

I can't wait to pass this book along to my niece, and in the mean time I may take a page from the book and use some of the helpful and simple relaxation exercies and use them while destressing at work!

Your book is a wonderful gift to children, teachers, and families. As a parent of four young children and as a clinical social worker, I see a desperate need for Create a Yoga Practice for Kids. In this very fast paced world, the book
offers a simple and creative way for teachers and families to connect with children, while encouraging exercise and relaxation. It gives children skills that will nurture them through their entire lives.
