Customer Reviews

great for toddlers

This is such a great book for toddlers! We found it in the library, and have constantly renewed it since we got it. Our girls love trying out the poses. I would guess that they were about 2 years and 3 months when they really became able to do the poses. The pictures are really cute, and the book is adorable.

delightfully creative reading

What can I say this book is so much fun to read and experience! Great for aduldts and childrren of all ages. Wonderful photos, what can I say it's delightfully cute!

Great fun for little ones!

My 18-month old loves this book. Every morning she opens it and does the postures without any prompting from me. The illustrations are fabulous, as well as the photographs of actual toddlers practicing yoga. I've used the book as a springboard to discuss all sorts of topics .... especially temper tantrums. When my daughter is upset, I tell her to "breath like a lion" to get her breathing and more importantly calm. I've practiced yoga for well over ten years and was hoping to introduce my daughter at some point. Little Yoga: A Toddler's First Book of Yoga enabled me to do so much earlier than I thought possible.

Great book for active toddler

My 2 yr. old loves this book. The pictures are fun and easy to copy. It's a great way to keep her active when we have limited space.

Great intorduction to Yoga for little ones!

My daughter got this for Christmas and loves it. At 17 months old and she and her cousin, who is 2, do all the poses. Not always correctly but, they practice all the time. They always look for the book in the book shelf and have memorized the easy words and poses. It's adorable to see them becoming little Yogis! A fun book even for those that know nothing about Yoga as it relates the poses to well known animals and includes photos of toddlers doing the poses in the back as well as tips and an explanation for parents for teaching the poses correctly. As a former Yoga teacher, I highly recomend this book.
