In Yoga for all Kids traditional yoga poses and meditation techniques have been adapted to help foster motor skill development, coordination, concentration, and stress relief for kids, teens and adults of varying abilities or special needs. This book is easy enough for kids to read and practice themselves.
The elements can be used as a group activity, or practiced individually. How to live social skills, and a dictionary of 40 one-sentence hints for happiness complete this book of techniques, providing a broad offering of yoga's nurturing.
A useful resource for parents homeschooling or teachers that want to bring harmony back into the classroom!
I recommend this text as an all-around resource with kids of all ages and abilities, as well as for adults to follow. Afterall, it is probably the parents who are reading the book first before giving it to their kids to browse through.
It has my highest recommendation, therefore, for all ages - for the kid in us all.
