This is a great book for girls, encouraging them to get into sports. Shows a group of about 8 girls (and 2 boys) learning yoga. The kids look to be around 8 years old, but my 3 year old loves looking at the pictures and trying the poses. The photography is beautiful and the text is very informative. The book does not "talk down" to the kids, as some kids books on yoga do. Two other great books in this series are I Love Gymnastics and I Love Tennis. Highly recommend all three of them.
Yogi

I take teen classes with Mary Kaye and enjoy them a lot! All of my family and friends have purchased the book and love it! I think the book is a great way for kids to learn yoga. The classes and the book combine balance poses and hip openers and end with relaxing poses. I always feel great after yoga, and I am glad I discovered it early in my life!
Yoga with ENERGY

WOW!! Finally a great yoga book for kids. Some of the other instructional books out there seem boring to my children...and me! This book is so well done. Some of my kids do yoga regularly and some don't, but they all enjoy looking at this book and trying the yoga poses. The pictures are very self explanatory. For the non-readers, the children are able to look at the pictures and do the poses. For the older children, they can see how to do the pose and then read an explanation in very easy to understand text. We look forward to another book from this author for teens!!! Namaste.

My children are too young for the yoga classes offered in my area (and there are very few studios). This book was suggested by my sister who lives in the NE, my 3 and 5 year old children love it! It is a great resource for learning the basics of yoga at home. It's also something different and fun for my kids who are now tapped out on the "sameness" of the classes offered....gymnastics, ballet, etc. We now love yoga!
Inspiring

I know Mary Kaye and her children and have taken yoga classes with her. She is very inspiring and this is reflected through this book. Allthough I am not in her child classes, I see them right before I come for my class. The kids are into it and this book also reflects this. It provides kids with a healthy way to stay active and also gets children into wanting to do each pose. The photographs are good and the text is easy for kids to read. I reccomend this book and if you live near her one of her yoga classes!
