Summary: What a Gem!
Review: As a fellow Montessori teacher and yoga lover I was delighted with this book. I have strongly believed that yoga and meditation have an important role to play in children's development and this book re-enforced this for me. The pictures are lovely, with the children dressed in similar white clothing so that the focus well and truly remains on the poses. The descriptions are clear and simple so that they can be easily followed. I am looking forward to trying out the poses and meditation exercises with my students as well as passing them on to friends and colleagues in different places. I would firmly recommend the book to anyone involved with children who would like to broaden their children's spiritual awareness.

Summary: Easy to Follow and Fun for the Kids
Review: I am a mother and a child care provider. I have been interested in yoga for a long time and have purchased some books for myself. When one of the children in my care (5 years old) saw one of my books, she wanted to try some of the postures. I decided to look for a book that would be more appropriate for children. After speaking to the parents about it, I began integrating a little yoga practice into our weekly schedule using this book as a guide. The kids love it! Especially the animal postures! It is easy to follow and fun for them to do. They even like the relaxation and meditation parts of the workout, which I had my doubts about at first (the children in my care are quite active!) I would suggest parents read the book before starting to practice with the kids so that they can help them perform the postures better. Then they can read the book to the kids and follow it with them. The postures are great for children and adults. I love this book. It is simple, to-the-point, and fun. I would reccomend it to anyone who has children or works with children. No prior experience with yoga is necessary. As the 5 year old in my care says: It's really, really easy!

Review: I've been doing yoga with my daughter since she was 3 years old, but this book brought our yoga sessions to a whole new level. She loves doing the yoga out of the book and we can now spend up to an hour picking out our favorite exercises. Shakta's stories really motivate children to work hard and have fun. I strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to begin or improve a yoga practice with children.

Summary: Easy Breezy Fun Yoga Book
Review: Out of three Children Yoga books I bought off of Amazon, this was far the best! it gave me a lot of ideas to work with and was able to build up a lot of lessons to teach the children. Children love the chanting meditaions and acting like the animals in the jungle story.

Summary: Great ideas to incorporate into children's yoga practice
Review: This was my first children's yoga purchase which I still use today when teaching young ones. This book gives many different stories to tell as you are teaching children to move their bodies and breath within the poses. A great tool for educators and parents of children preschool through elementary age.
