How to Do Yoga Book Review and Giveaway

Giselle · November 28, 2013 ·

How to Do Yoga Book

Introducing the How to Do Yoga Book Review and Giveaway by Kids Yoga Stories and OMSchooled

At the end of the post, enter the contest via the Rafflecopter online giveaway tool.

This is week #9 in our 10-Week Kids Yoga Resources Reviews and Giveaways.

Please meet Sarah Herrington, founder of OMSchooled kids yoga teacher training and author of OMSchooled: A guide to teaching kids yoga in real-world schools.  Sarah shares her experience as a kids yoga teacher working in New York City public schools.  The book is full of practical information on getting started teaching yoga in schools.  As a former teacher, I share Sarah’s passion for bringing the benefits of yoga to classrooms everywhere.  Her book is a great resource for ideas on how to teach yoga classes and inspiration for reminding us why we do what we do for children.

What I love about this book:

  • The engaging and easy-to-read personal account of Sarah’s experience teaching in public schools reads as if you’re sipping tea with a friend who’s telling you all about how she teaches yoga in schools.
  • She provides loads of examples from her actual yoga classes and shares honestly about what worked and what didn’t.
  • It inspires parents and teachers to bring yoga to schools through after-school programs, yoga breaks, yoga clubs, or full-time programs.  She demonstrates how yoga is easily integrated into all aspects of the school environment.
  • Her focus on combining teaching strategies, classroom management techniques, and structured yoga lesson plans create effective yoga experiences.
  • The in-depth descriptions of how to get yoga in schools include parent communication, a history of yoga, compliance with physical education standards, class sizes, and yoga class props.
  • She shows how to structure classes so that they are fun but also fit into the expectations of a school setting.
  • She has a great outline of a kids yoga lesson plan, which include components like setting up, opening, warming up, practicing a few focus poses, relaxing, and closing.
  • This book includes comprehensive, well-written descriptions of individual and group yoga poses that work in schools.
  • Sarah has included extra tidbits of inspiration, including yoga parties, yoga games, yoga art, yoga principles, special-occasion yoga poses, and yogic breathing techniques.

OMSchooled Yoga Book

The book also talks about the benefits of yoga in schools, including empowering children, teaching them relaxation techniques, increasing their self-esteem, developing their strength and flexibility, building focus and concentration, and cooperating in teams.

I hope that this OMSchooled book provides you with inspiration either as a parent advocate to bring yoga to your child’s school or as a kids yoga teacher looking to work in schools.  Don’t forget the benefits yoga brings to teachers, too!

To purchase the OMSchooled book:
