My thoughts-
One of the biggest resolutions I set for myself this year was to keep my whole
family fit and more active. I love yoga so it is only natural that I seek out yoga
for kids for my children so they can join in on the fun. The ABC's of YOGA for Kids
is the perfect book for my 8 year old daughter and 6 year old twin boys. I love
that these are traditional yoga poses but given a "kid" spin on things by the
renaming of poses to fit the alphabet format. There are several fun games and
activities to keep being active a fun practice for kids. My only complaint is that
the book is a little short, otherwise I would rate it 5 stars instead of 4, but this
will be a good start! I recommend this book to parents of children ages 4-8.
