I LOVE this book! The language is spot-on for girls--there's no "dumbing down" here, yet the core teachings of yoga aren't glossed over either. The package is tons of fun, with amazing, colourful illustrations of real girls and easy-to-follow instructions for each yoga pose. I highly recommend it--especially for girls who might want to begin a yoga practice but aren't sure they want to take a class with a "bunch of women."

If you're a mom with a preteen / teenage daughter, it's a great way to learn about yoga together.

I liked this better than most "adult" books on Yoga. Definitely work a look for adults new to Yoga as well as girls.

I am an elementary teacher and I bought this book for my students. It never stays on the shelf for long. It is well loved with many dog-eared pages.

"The Girls' Yoga Book: Stretch Your Body, Open Your Mind, & Have Fun!" by Michaela Caldwell introduces the reader to using yoga to revitalize one's body, mind, and mood. Chapters discuss how to create a yoga space, enact basic poses, control one's breathing, improve balance and more. Simple and colorful illustrations make The Girls' Yoga Book an easy-to-use springboard to get started in this physically and mentally fulfilling practice.

I had read other books in this series and loved them so I'm buying as many titles as I can find. This book was easy to read and beautiful to look at and it's a wonderful addition to my children's library as well as useful even for me. I'm a beginning yogini and this book gave me a good, simple start.

I purchased this book for my 9 year old niece & she loved it. She looked through it several times before her first yoga class, with myself & her Mom in tow. She loved the class and I believe the book helped her understand what would be happening. This isn't meant to be a be all end all yoga book but rather a very nicely done introduction.

This book is an excellent one for teens and tweens who are brand-new to yoga. It gives a nice overview, though very high-level, as to what yoga is all about and weaves in quotes from real girls who have discovered the wonderful benefits of yoga. If you're interested in a complete physical practice, with details on the poses and modifications, this book is not the one for you. But it does give several small sequences that you can incorporate into each day that don't take up too much of your time.

I really love this book, and I keep re-checking it out from the library to use with the kids I work with (as an occupational therapist). But I ordered this book through amazon.com, and I have not received it. Not sure where it is, but it's paid for. I'm not sure who I complain to about this, either.

I am an exercise instructor for children and I didn't think this book was so great. It didn't have enough poses to teach a class.
