The book that started it all! The ABCs of Yoga for Kids uses the alphabet, rhyming vignettes, and colorful illustrations to introduce children to yoga in a kid-friendly way. Each of the 56 different poses featured in the book delightfully promote flexibility, strength, and coordination while encouraging children to incorporate healthy activity into their daily lives. Yoga is a noncompetitive form of exercise, suitable for children (and adults) of all ages and athletic abilities. Any activity for young children is important because the nation, including our youth, is under siege by obesity, stress, and diseases like diabetes, which stem from poor diet and lack of exercise. Yoga for young kids will create good habits and a foundation for well-being. Children have a lot of fun learning new positions, new letters, and new ideas. This book will delight and bring joy to the early yoga practitioner.

Praise for this book

The ABCs of Yoga for Kids is a 2020 Top Homeschool Curriculum List Winner!

"Yoga offers so many benefits to mind, body, and soul that it's wonderful to start kids at a young age. The best way to do that is to make it fun - and this book certainly does that. With its beautiful illustrations and instructive vignettes, it makes learning yoga like play. I love it!" -- Mariel Hemingway, Actress

"Teresa Anne Power's The ABCs of Yoga for Kids is a cute and colorful introduction to the art of bendiness and inner peace for children... A children's yoga teacher, Power uses simple language to explain the intricate art form to youngsters; there are no mentions of chakras or Ujjayi breathing here, just plain instructions on how to relax and breathe deeply and have fun in a pose." -- Foreword Reviews

"The author has found a way to make yoga accessible to even the youngest practitioner without reinventing it, dumbing it down, or "baby-fying" it. It isn't just yoga for kids; it's good yoga for kids." -- Yoga Journal

"A truly beautiful and fantastic book! The yoga instructions are simple and clear. As a spiritual teacher and author, I have not seen anything like it. I am so glad to have found this gift! I cannot wait to share it with my child." -- Jonathan H. Ellerby, Ph.D., Spiritual Director of Canyon Ranch Health Resorts
