My First Yoga: Animal Poses Paperback – February 21, 2010

If you're looking to get your littlest ones excited about trying yoga for the first time, this is the place to start. This fun picture book shows your toddler how to turn him/herself into a whole menagerie of animals, including a lion, a snake, a monkey, a cow, a cat, and, my daughter's favorite, a flamingo. This book is not a textbook for parents full of reasons about why yoga is good for your child or planned routines to show them. It is a book designed just for your toddler with one pose colorfully illustrated on each page along with a brief explanation you can read to your child, often suggesting fun movements or sounds you can add to the pose. The cute and clear illustrations make the book and the yoga really inviting for toddlers. My 3 year-old will pick this book off the shelf, open it up to one of her favorite animals and just start doing yoga, all on her own! She'll go through all the animals and then start again. We both really enjoy this book and hope to see more books with more poses from the My First Yoga folks!

This book has been an excellent resource for me to use therapeutically with many of the children with whom I work. The illustrations are appealing and easy for the children to imitate. the use of animals to illustrate the poses is a great way to engage young children.

The word "friends" is misspelled as "freinds" in this book. I am surprised and disappointed to find such sloppiness in such a short book with such little text. Is a freind like a frenemy?

My kiddos of KE-3rd grade love the images and stories from the book. I would love to get more images and teaching materials from the company if possible :)

A great intro to yoga for little ones.

What better way to introduce our children to Yoga?Whimsical and entirely wonderful for your toddler or small child.Will use it for all my children.

I bought this book for some ideas to teach toddlers yoga. I found it to be a little short on ideas and not very inspiring. the illustrations are nice though.
