Beautiful and well produced

Rehana Jawadwala on 7th Jan 2022

This is a wonderful book to inspire little children and parents interested in getting some yoga practice. It is wonderfully produced and the photos are great. What I like about the book is how practical it is to use. Postures are organised in the alphabet so kids can use it to spell out their name or even play a game of charades trying to guess what word is being played out. The information is very user friendly and helpful even for the children to read. There are prompts for affirmations and reflections on postures that will get your creative juices flowing. This book is also a great primer if you are a children’s yoga teacher. I liked the sections on breathing and yoga nidra very much as Kiki Morriss writes in a very accessible manner on these complex topics. All in all, if you are looking to start a family yoga practice or just find inspiration to encourage your kids to give yoga a go this is a great book to have.

Joyful

Gemma on 31st Aug 2021

With the pale, uncluttered front cover, and pictures of happy children, this book oozes calm and inner peace from the first look. It's a large format, coffee table book, and the whole thing looks and feels inviting. I expected an A to Z of yoga to be a bit twee, nice for a gift but not much content, a nice book you might flick through and attempt a pose or two, but this Was so surprising! Each pose in the A to Z is given at least a double page spread, some are given two. We're given the name, (western and Sanskrit) and a clear description of how to achieve the pose. But on top of that we get a visualisation, and an affirmation, we even get a paragraph of reflections and adjustment information. This is real in depth yoga knowledge and practice delivered by an authour with a true lifelong love of yoga, having first tried it at age 6 and having trained and taught yoga for over 20 years. The first part of the book is filled with her knowledge, advice, guidance and calming voice, she takes the anxiety out of knowing if you're doing it right. Or feeling you haven't got time to fit it into your life. This is definitely one I'll be returning to over and over, myself and my family have already enjoyed the poses, and the bonus "games" in the back. It makes family yoga really restful and joyful, I've never smiled so much during yoga practice. Plan to buy as gifts for all my friends.
