Customer Reviews

PERFECT!!

I purchased this book for my 9 year old niece & she loved it. She looked through it several times before her first yoga class, with myself & her Mom in tow. She loved the class and I believe the book helped her understand what would be happening. This isn't meant to be a be all end all yoga book but rather a very nicely done introduction.

Great for those new to yoga!

This book is an excellent one for teens and tweens who are brand-new to yoga. It gives a nice overview, though very high-level, as to what yoga is all about and weaves in quotes from real girls who have discovered the wonderful benefits of yoga. If you're interested in a complete physical practice, with details on the poses and modifications, this book is not the one for you. But it does give several small sequences that you can incorporate into each day that don't take up too much of your time.

Useful for adults

I liked this better than most "adult" books on Yoga. Definitely work a look for adults new to Yoga as well as girls.

An easy-to-use springboard to get started in this physically and mentally fulfilling practice.

"The Girls' Yoga Book: Stretch Your Body, Open Your Mind, & Have Fun!" by Michaela Caldwell introduces the reader to using yoga to revitalize one's body, mind, and mood. Chapters discuss how to create a yoga space, enact basic poses, control one's breathing, improve balance and more. Simple and colorful illustrations make The Girls' Yoga Book an easy-to-use springboard to get started in this physically and mentally fulfilling practice.

Perfect for girls ... and their moms!

I LOVE this book! The language is spot-on for girls--there's no "dumbing down" here, yet the core teachings of yoga aren't glossed over either. The package is tons of fun, with amazing, colourful illustrations of real girls and easy-to-follow instructions for each yoga pose. I highly recommend it--especially for girls who might want to begin a yoga practice but aren't sure they want to take a class with a "bunch of women." If you're a mom with a preteen / teenage daughter, it's a great way to learn about yoga together.
