About the Book
This lovely book is very simple and easy to follow and is both a resource book for adults who want to teach yoga to children and for children to use themselves.
There is a detailed description of how to move into each of the traditional yoga poses and the associated benefits. But most importantly, because children need things to be presented differently, the book also gives suggestions to tailor the poses to make it fun and playful for the kids.
The book is visually pleasing to look at with beautiful artistic photos of the children with the natural Australian beach landscape as the background.
Book Content
The book contains a basic introduction, a selection of warm-up poses and thirty five yoga poses. Additionally there are four practices (sequences of yoga poses put together) for adults to take the children through.
The poses have been categorised into the traditional sequencing of poses, from standing, to balancing, sitting, backbends, twists, inversions and resting poses. Within each category the poses have been arranged in an order that allows children to develop from simple to more advanced yoga poses.
The book is suitable for children aged 3-12 years.
