Best Out There,
By
This review is from: Teaching Yoga to Children Through Story (Paperback)
The two books, Storytime Yoga and The Treasure in Your Heart, both by Sydney Solis, are new additions to our yoga collection. These two books are by far the best out there IMO. Especially if you are looking for enriching, life-affirming, confidence-boosting, and unique yoga practice ideas for preschoolers to age 12. With-in their pages, there may be not be enough information for the newbie-to-yoga parent/teacher, but it's perfect for the seasoned yoga teacher/parent wanting something with more "substance" with just going through the poses. The premise is teaching the yoga postures while presenting a story before and during practicing the poses. Also, the second book, The Treasure in Your Heart, goes through meditation, yoga nidra, visualizations, and techniques for teaching yoga philosophy to children. Both books are full of amazing stories with suggested corresponding postures, I highly recommend getting both.

Highly Recommended,
By C. L. Crowder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teaching Yoga to Children Through Story (Paperback)
There are more and more yoga books for children being produced now...which is great ( I have many of them). I recently purchased this book and must say that this book is special. It gives great ideas for story telling, meditations, breathing techniques, songs, asanas, warm ups and games, as well as including several stories you can also tell. I also liked that fact that it gives tips on how to teach yoga philisophies simply to children (love, peace, patience, respect, kindness, etc). This is a truly great book! Highly recommended if you want to teach yoga to children and stay true to the purpose of yoga!

An Awesome Find,
By Danusia N. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teaching Yoga to Children Through Story (Paperback)
Written for teachers, librarians and yoga instructors, author/yoga instructor Sydney Solis details how yoga is beneficial for young children and how incorporating this ancient spiritual practice into storytelling can help to achieve a deeper level of understanding. The book gives excellent concrete examples of how to deal with real situations that might arise with children including how to maintain control of the class and how to set rules. A class curriculum is outlined including folk tales, their theme, country of origin along with corresponding yoga poses for each character or action. A chapter with black and white photographs and detailed explanations of how to do the various poses is also included.

Better for teaching a class than just your kiddo,
By SCS - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teaching Yoga to Children Through Story (Paperback)
I was under the impression that this would be fun to do with my daughter, but it was more of a curriculum like thing for a group of kids in my opinion. A great book, but I would suggest it more for teaching a class than just to do with your child.
