The ABCS of Yoga for Kids ~ Hardback ~ Teresa Anne Power

The ABCs of Yoga for Kids uses the alphabet, rhyming vignettes, and colourful illustrations to introduce children to yoga in a kid-friendly way. Each of the fifty-six different poses featured in the book delightfully promote flexibility, strength, and co-ordination while encouraging children to incorporate healthy activity into their daily lives. Yoga is a non-competitive form of exercise, suitable for children (and adults) of all ages and athletic abilities. Any activity for young children is important because the nation, including our youth, is under siege by obesity, stress, and diseases like diabetes, which stem from poor diet and lack of exercise. Yoga for young kids will create good habits and a foundation for well-being. Children have a lot of fun learning new positions, new letters, and new ideas. This book will delight and bring joy to the early yoga practitioner.Author BiographyTeresa Anne Power has practised yoga for the past twenty-five years, and for the past seven she has taught yoga to young children, both in school and at local organisations, helping more than eight hundred children develop a healthy attitude toward their body.
