Yoga For Kids

This work features: safe, healthy and fun yoga exercises to help children grow flexible and strong in body and mind; simple movements designed for 3 to 11 year olds of all physical abilities and levels of experience - poses are shown in over 350 colour photographs; a solid reference book for parents, with sound advice on fun, safe teaching principles to pass on knowledge and experience that will stay with children throughout their lives; and classic yoga postures, plus specially-designed poses and games to inspire and encourage children, even the very young and those who are trying for the first time. Yoga teaches self-awareness, and can help to build confidence and promote overall well-being. With techniques and postures to practise on their own or with parents, brothers and sisters, or friends, the book shows children how to make yoga a part of everyday life. And while yoga will help to build supple muscles and flexible joints, it is also about positive thinking, self-confidence and inner calm: hyperactive, non-athletic or shy children will all benefit from the expression of feeling and imagination through movement that yoga brings.
Beautifully presented with full-colour photographs and charming illustrations, this expertly written book introduces children of all ages to the concept and practice of yoga and will help to give them the best possible start in life.
