Yoga For Kids: Simple First Steps in Yoga and Mindfulness
by Susannah Hoffman
I have been practicing yoga for over 5 years. Not only does it help build up strength and flexibility but it is also great for practicing mindfulness and improving concentration. It has been such a huge help in dealing with my OCD and anxiety. Yoga For Kids by Susannah Hoffman only makes sense. The book discusses in the introduction that kids also deal with stresses in everyday life. Practicing yoga at a young age can help them immensely as they get older. Not only that, but it helps their body physically as they grow!
My kids always love joining when I practice yoga. However, after reading this book, I think it is so important that I make yoga a part of their daily routine. This book is so well done. It is bright and colorful filled with pictures of the kids in each pose. The book introduces poses in a fun way that children will enjoy, along with fun names for each pose. After the few pose introductions, the book gives sample sequences. On each page, there is also a blurb for the grown-ups to give them advice about each pose, why it is important and how to make sure they are in the pose correctly. Also at the end of the book, there is a glossary that names lists all the poses along with their Sanskrit names if the grown-up wants to incorporate that as well.
This book is very short, only about 75 pages. It is only meant to be an introduction to yoga. Overall I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars and I can’t wait to read it to my kids and practice together!
Thank you NetGalley and DK Children for a copy of the book!
