Children's Book of Yoga: Games & Exercises Mimic Plants & Animals & Objects
by Thia Luby
A unique and original new program of yoga especially designed to appeal to children, this book presents six complete, entertaining yoga workouts for children ages three to 12. The exercises and games are based on imitation of animals, natural forms, and interesting manmade objects chosen because of their natural appeal to a child's imagination.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 7-From the full-color cover, to the many interior glossy photographs of children in various yoga positions, this book is appealing to the eye. It is also full of educational recreational activities that combine two things children love-animals and movement. Younger children will especially enjoy imitating the positions and shapes of the various animals, plants, and objects that appear in the large photographs throughout the volume. Beginning with the easiest exercises and progressing to the more difficult, the instructions and descriptions are brief but clear. The physical benefits of the poses are stated and the few positions not recommended for children under six are noted. Various ethnic groups and boys and girls are shown practicing. Both children and adults will appreciate this treasure. Luby makes exercising seem like fun.
