The ABC's of Yoga for Kids uses poetry and illustrations to demonstrate yoga poses to children. The illustrations are easy to follow and the rhyming text is fun to read. I do not practice yoga and never have, so I learned many new poses from this book.
I could imagine this book being used in K-3 classrooms to give children a movement break by choosing a few poses a day. I also love the fact that it combines poetry with nonfiction.
Frog Pose Squatting with my feet apart wide I am a
frog with a big underside. Bringing my arms inside my knees
I jump up and say, “r-r-r-r-i-b-b-i-t!” on the count of three.

I have this book and adore it! I am so fortunate that my Student Support worker is a yoga teacher and we do yoga with the children a few times a week. It is really fantastic and fits well with the MindUp program that we use.
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of physical brain breaks with my second graders, so I will need to check this book out.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful - I will have to check it out and suggest it to teachers. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great resource to have! I'm definitely going to buy this book for our school library and share it with my staff. I think many will really enjoy it. Love the link to poetry too! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNice. I have never done yoga, but love poetry. Kids will like this especially young girls.
ReplyDeleteI am not into yoga but do like poetry. I think I also somehow post a comment about your book on another's blog. Well, young girls will love your selection, and hopefully, so will the owner of the wrong blog. Oops!.
ReplyDeleteGuess I am the only thing confused. So sorry. :)
DeleteFunny! Thanks so much or visiting and commenting.
