Kids Yoga Book Review and Giveaway

Kids Yoga Book

Introducing the Kids Yoga Book Review and Giveaway by Kids Yoga Stories and ChildLight Yoga

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

This is week #10 in our 10-Week Kids Yoga Resources Reviews and Giveaways.  Join us next week for the Mega-Giveaway Finale.

As a parent and former teacher, I have the distinct pleasure to introduce you to Lisa Flynn, founder of ChildLight Yoga and author of Yoga for Children.  Besides being an amazing author, Lisa Flynn is a beautiful soul who does amazing work with ChildLight Yoga and Yoga 4 Classrooms.  Definitely check out her resources, teacher trainings, and workshops.

Lisa Flynn Kids Yoga

I love practical, inspiring, research-based, and user-friendly books written by experienced, passionate authors.  Flynn’s Yoga for Children is one of my go-to reference books for kids yoga.  Many of you ask about how to get started with practicing yoga with children.  Well, here’s the perfect book!

My pre-release endorsement:

Finally, a comprehensive resource with practical tips of how to introduce yoga into your everyday life. This book is a necessity for when you want to either relax and unwind or get moving and laughing with your entire family. I LOVE it!”
Giselle Shardlow, M.Ed.
Kids Yoga Stories

 

What I love about Lisa Flynn’s Yoga for Children book:

  • The overall layout has bright colors and professional photographs of children demonstrating the poses.
  • Its comprehensive introduction debunks myths about yoga and presents research-based benefits of yoga, age-appropriate expectations and activities, and suggested props.
  • The list of yoga principles is written in clear, meaningful language, with related books and activities.
  • The ten tips for successfully sharing yoga with children are fantastic, making it a perfect resource for yoga beginners or experienced practitioners.
  • It offers tools to connect and bond with your children in fun, playful ways.
  • The practice is presented as creative, accessible, and holistic.
  • Flynn details the tenets of yoga, including meditation, breathing techniques, physical postures, family yoga, games, songs, chants, and relaxation.
  • She provides practical advice on how to create a yoga practice for your family that is either five minutes or one hour long so that it suits all families who would like to share the joy of yoga with their children.
  • Sample sequences get you started with poses, including the benefits, what to do, and what to say.
  • It connects yoga and story:

“Incorporate themes and stories.  Four-to-six year olds become especially engaged when stories and themes are incorporated into their yoga sessions.  Themes can be based on any interesting, child-friendly subject.  Some theme category ideas include places, animal groups… and of course, stories and adventure!  You can make up your own stories or use a picture book as a guide.  Books with animal adventures work best.  Inspiring your child’s imagination and creativity is easy with yoga!” (p 34)

I couldn’t agree more with Lisa’s comments about the benefits of yoga and story.
