Editorial Reviews

"Lani Rosen captures the simplicity of yoga poses while making them approachable for children. The games are made up of short sequences to accommodate different moods and skill levels. Children can have fun, find calm, and are likely to develop a personal practice while enjoying this short book. A great resource for children to use with a partner or independently." —Lara Hocheiser, author of Mindfulness for Beginners in Ten Minutes a Day and founder of Flow and Grow Kids Yoga

"For more than 10 years, Lani has taught our preschool children how to calm their bulldog brains and center themselves in a fun and empowering way that shows them how they have the power to control their bodies' reactions to big emotions. We saw quickly the impact that practicing yoga had on our young population and their families. There are those who know how to teach yoga and there are those that know how to teach kids. Lani does both!" —Amy Small, executive director of Alphabet Academy

Lani Rosen-Gallagher's years of experience in the classroom and the yoga studio shine through in every activity." —Giselle Shardlow, founder of Kids Yoga Stories

Kids will love the easy-to-follow instructions, beautiful illustrations, and how they feel after each game. They'll love this book for years!" —Shari Vilchez-Blatt, creator of Karma Kids Yoga
