I love practicing yoga, and I love spending time with my kids. So when my parents got Owen the ABCs of Yoga for Kids, I was very excited to try it. My husband was a little doubtful that an extremely energetic (almost) 2 year old would be interested in trying yoga. But then last Sunday, he saw the book and tried to copy the cover. On the cover is a girl practicing a tree pose, and I helped him get his on version. He has to lean against a wall for balance, but he can put his foot on his other leg properly & have prayer hands. When Owen does this, he looks at me with a huge smile and says 'Yoga!'. It's absolutely adorable.
He has done this tree pose many times, and we've done a couple of pages of poses at a time. This is a well written book for an introduction to yoga for kids. As the title indicates, the book lists the alphabet with different poses for each letter and a very good kid-friendly description.
Here is Owen with his downward facing dog:
