Breathe: Yoga for Teens [With DVD]

This is a great book for teens who want to experience yoga on their own before trying it out at a studio. It's got wonderful lessons woven throughout, and I love how Mary Kaye throws in examples from her own teen experiences to illustrate the wonderful lessons of yoga.

This book covers alot of important issues for teens in a way that appeals to them. I purchased the book for myself as a teacher but ended up buying more to satisfy the requests of a couple of teens. Pictures are good and cues for the poses are simple and clear.

I just graduated from college and I'm not new to yoga, but this warm and friendly book got me into practicing yoga again. The approach is inviting, not intimidating, and although the instructions are perhaps a little too basic for someone who's used to seeing a set of at least 5 steps for a single yoga pose, they are concise and thorough enough to appeal to a teenager or someone who gets confused by long instructions (like me!). The fun and colorful layout is appealing and easy to follow. The book is also full of compassionate advice on how to incorporate the components of yoga into your daily life.

This a great book for young teenage girls (no boys are pictured). The young models are all very pretty, but also very natural and "real," a refreshing departure from the overly made-up and airbrushed models we are used to seeing. This is a great book for promoting true self-esteem in girls. The yogic principles are presented in a way that teens can easily understand and apply to their lives. This is a very well-designed and possitive book for teens. For younger kids, please take a look at this: Power Brain Kids

This book is a little treasure for teenagers, whether or not they have experienced the incredible benefits of yoga. It combines the ancient wisdom of yoga and the author's sound advice for teenagers growing up in a complicated world. Parents who missed the message growing up will benefit too! The DVD is a great bonus. A special gift for any teengager you know.
