Let's Play Yoga!

This was such an amazing book to share with your children. Breathing exercises and yoga are a fun and easy way to promote a healthy lifestyle, and this book does a wonderful job of making yoga fun and exciting for children. Each pose comes with a small story, then shows the steps to complete the yoga pose. I loved this, and will be on the lookout for the physical book to buy for my own little library.

I have received a much appreciated digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Although this book says it is for ages 5-8, I think it has a MUCH wider appeal than that. As an adult who has practiced yoga off and on for a decade yet doesn't know much about its history, I found this book very informative and easy to understand -- but not dumbed down, which is often a problem with other yoga for kids books I've read. I especially appreciated the definition of yoga words at the beginning, the creative illustrations mixed with photographs, and loved the stories accompanied with the poses. Overall, a great introduction to yoga for all ages.

While this is wonderful for kids, I wish I'd had it when I first tried Yoga so that I could have understood it and the terms better as well!

Besides explaining the terms, in Sanskrit and English, it gives great examples of what the poses actually mean and how they can relate to your or a child's everyday life.

My one wish is that the title was slightly different and I don't really have suggestions, yet "Let's Play Yoga!" makes it seem like a game when it can be very therapeutic, though I understand the need to make it attractive, like a game. to young readers.
