As a children's yoga teacher, I have found this book to be invaluable. It hits the mark in all aspects. The format is accessible, the content informative and creative. I recomend it to all nursery and primary school teachers as a wonderful teaching aid, and a great way for them to introduce children to yoga. I would be proud if I had written it myself!

This book has proved invaluable in providing advice and ideas on how I can use yoga with my primary class.
As someone who enjoys yoga already, I was keen to introduce my class to it, but a little unsure as to how to make it child-friendly and, importantly, child-safe. This book introduces yoga through fun and engaging games, even the boys were enthusiastic. Similar types of activities are grouped into sections with each activity clearly explained using useful icons to let you know which age group it is suitable for; if props or a lot of space are required; and how long it will take. The introduction gives really practical advice on doing yoga with children and how to put together your own sessions - although there are some themed sessions included to get you started.
Overall, it's well written by people who obviously know what they're talking about - highly recommended!
