Testimonials

“Yoga offers so many benefits to mind, body, and soul that it’s wonderful to start kids at a young age. The best way to do that is to make it fun — and this book certainly does that. With its beautiful illustrations and instructive vignettes, it makes learning yoga like play. I love it!”

“As a Preschool – 4th Grade Principal, I see our young children benefiting from the engaging activity of yoga. The ABCs of Yoga for Kids is a delightful book that encourages children to explore mind, body and self while doing the exercise system of yoga. Practicing simple yoga poses supports and enhances learning, health, and personal responsibility.”
