A great book for the spiritually-minded teen

I actually bought this book because I have been considering offering a yoga class for teens. Although this is not a yoga book, per se, it does cover yoga practices like meditation, mindfulness and compassion. The language and tone of the book is quite appropriate for kids 13-18. The goal of this work, I think, is to get teens to think of their lives as a whole; to begin to think outside the pressures of being adolescent and see their lives as a journey to which they have a great amount of control. This book encourages pro-activity, active listening, honesty and finding balance in their lives. If you are looking for a book about yoga postures, this is NOT the one. Instead, this is a book that helps teens look at their lives - asking them where they ar NOW and where they want to end up. I especially like the emphasis on compassion. There is a great section on "Raising Parents" that is worth noting. It encourages open communication and seeing things from another point of view. There is some emphasis on spirituality - NOT RELIGION - but spirituality. It helps teens see and connect with their spiritial selves without offending religious beliefs. I like this book - I'm saving it for my kids.

Just Say OM is perfect for teens!

I use this book to teach yoga to teenagers. I love it, the meditations are accessible, the writing is really teen friendly and it just hits the spot! I highly recommend this book for any teen interested in yoga, it's very clear and easy to understand, a must for anyone beginning their yogic path!

Not Just for Teens

This is a pithy readable usable book for dabblers and practitioners of Buddhism. I've used some chapters of this book to teach in a class of college freshman. The intimate fresh style and deeply felt honesty makes the book accessible to the students (and the teacher). A fine gift.

Really cool read for teens

This is an awesome book for teens on meditation. Soren Gordhamer has a great message. Unlike other writers, he really understands what it's like to be a teen right now--he has great advice for how to get in touch with the inner part of you and find some peace and acceptance. He seems really cool too--he's an author I'd like to meet!
