Anytime Yoga: Fun and Easy Exercises for Concentration and Calm

Kika and her pet monkey, Yazoo, like to go on adventures. They travel to all different places. In each place that they visit they find inspiration for a yoga pose. Some of the poses that they do are the lion pose in the safari, tulip pose in the garden, and monkey pose in the jungle. The cool thing is that they write how to do the poses and have pictures so you could do it after you read the instructions. Being able to follow along with the characters and learn new yoga poses made this book really unique.

Reading about each pose was really simple and easy to follow, which made reading this book fun. After the section on the yoga poses and Kika’s adventure, there are several guided meditations that are specifically designed for kids. At the end of the book, there is a section for grown-ups so they can help children do yoga. I was first introduced to yoga in my school during Healthy Kids Club, and my teacher helped us learn some basic poses. This book inspired me to do more yoga at home so that I can do these exercises on my own.
