Description

This colorful booklet is packed with ideas for getting your child moving together, ages 0 to 3. It offers a wealth of simple stretching and relaxation exercises based on traditional yoga poses, strengthening bonding and satisfying their need for touch. Each exercise takes just a few minutes. The exercises can be performed sitting, lying down, or standing, carrying or lifting the child; there are exercises for climbing and clambering, flying and twisting, bending and stretching, swinging and tumbling, and exercises with a ball.

Finally, there are three sets of exercises for those who want to practice longer: one for the morning, one for the afternoon, and one for the evening. This book is a revised and expanded edition of "Yoga with Your Child" from 2011, with more and new exercises and illustrations. Furthermore, each exercise is supplemented with tips and variations, and their effects are explained. The authors teach children's yoga teachers at the Jip & Jan Academy. Helen has previously written six successful books on children's yoga and child coaching, published by Panta Rhei.
