Happiness Dictionary: 40 One-Sentence Hints for Happiness. This book is readable by school age kids and they can follow the photos to practice on their own. There are no poses to put pressure on the spine. My background was as a classical and modern ballet dance before beginning yoga practice and now 30 years later I've had time to develop these poses suitable for all kids.
