Helping Children with Yoga Right from the Start by
Sarah Woodhouse, Michelle Cheesbrough & Rosemary Griffiths
'I can see how particularly valuable it will be for overactive children in many of our homes.' From the Foreword by Yehudi Menuhin
Yoga is one of the best ways to establish a child's emotional harmony and to help nurture body, mind and spirit. This book looks at the many benefits of teaching yoga to children and demonstrates imaginative, simple ways to do so. It provides parents, carers and teachers with a thorough introduction to all aspects of yoga, from the physical poses to the underlying philosophy. This book provides help for:
raising children's self esteem
increasing physical well-being
energizing and calm
helping children to concentrate and learn.
