Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Learning yoga helps people tone their bodies, release stress, and improve their health, and for children, also offers a way to channel their natural exuberance. The exercises provided here promote flexibility and develop concentration, posture, and co-ordination, benefitting children and parents alike. With the onset of puberty, yoga can balance emotions and aid children in coping with the stresses of everyday life. For the very young, animal poses are used to keep their attention, encourage healthy development, and boost their creative urges. For children aged eight up, a series of dynamic poses is included to burn off energy, increase concentration, and build confidence. Group exercises that explore their senses and improve their breathing are also included. Yoga Fun is an indispensable guide for the whole family to enjoy a fun and healthy workout.
*Helps to develop co-ordination, concentration, and healthy organs, and encourages general wellbeing in children of all ages.
*Juliet Pegrum's Ashtanga Yoga has sold well internationally.
Includes index.
