5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, one yoga book children and adults can appreciate!, January 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: YogaKids: Educating The Whole Child Through Yoga (Paperback)

This is the most comprehensive and beautiful children's yoga book available today(and I have read every other kids yoga book found on amazon.com), BUT it doesn't matter what I think. See for yourself, the expression of awe on children's faces as they look through this joyful book and become inspired by their peers. If the child has previously taken a yoga class or seen the YogaKids video the effect is even more powerful. It is truly a lovely book that helps children (and adults) learn more about the relationship between our mind and body; to use our imagination by 'playing' yoga; and to teach respect for and strengthen the bonds between each other and all other living things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Holistic Approach for Children, December 27, 2003

By 

Laurie Lin Schaeffer (Kenai, Alaska USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: YogaKids: Educating The Whole Child Through Yoga (Paperback)

The fullness of this book with its approach of the multiple intelligence holistic view of how we all....not only children...can learn in fun ways is awesome. The book is visually appealing and the information is easily accessed when researching ideas. It does not surprise me that the book meets so many needs in such a creative manner, as my experience with YogaKids has been and continues to be such a creative and encouraging journey. Thank you Marsha for once again inspiring the work that is so helpful to children and society at large.
