Here is a handbook for anyone--including parents, teachers, and kids--who wants to develop a fun yoga practice. In addition, the book provides ideas for yoga games, yoga at a wall, more relaxation games, and five-minute classroom yoga.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide to Kids Yoga   November 19, 2008
T. Montealegre (Sacramento, CA)
I am a hatha yoga teacher for adults, and reading this book prepared me very well to teach 5th graders. The class themes were a hit, and the kids loved learning about shapes and geometry while doing yoga. The visualization ideas are also very nice. I would highly recommend this book.


5 out of 5 stars Easy to use and creative   June 2, 2008
A. Crowell
Very easy to use to create lesson plans for children's yoga programs. Give a lot of good ideas for a start to finish class.

This well-thought out book shows so many pictures of kids of all ethnic backgrounds having fun doing yoga that any mom would be enthralled. The pictures are fluid; the children are happy; the poses look natural. It makes you want to get on the floor and try a pose, too.

Most of the yogis who attend our yoga studio have children and are always looking for ways to interest their children in yoga. While we offer Family Yoga and Kids Yoga, the demand for "more for the children"
continues. This book offers parents and yoga teachers a way to easily introduce yoga into the lives of our children, and it does so in a presentation that is at once simple, fun, and delightful! I am confident this book will be on my shelves at the studio, so that when parents clamor for more kids yoga, I can recommend this book!

Create a Yoga Practice for Kids
By Yael Calhoun and Matthew Calhoun
Illustrations by Carol Anne Coogan

Best children's yoga book on the market today. Excellent descriptions, delightful illustrations. The big secret is, it has not only made Hatha Yoga fun, joyful, interesting for children, it is an excellent resource book for parents and yoga teachers. I used some partner yoga ideas immediately in my adult classes, touching the ageless child within us all. Great job Matthew and Yael. BRAVO!
