Book of the Day: Little Yoga

Little Yoga:  A Toddler's First Book of Yoga
Author:  Rebecca Whitford

Henry Holt and Company (2005)

After a lot of searching, I found a great yoga book for Mirette.  It's great because it's so simple and easy that she is actually doing the poses  correctly and asks to do it every night.   

Along with this book, I have a few other yoga resources for you.   I really love the idea of teaching yoga to toddlers and kids and have even taken the first classes to learn Yoga Calm (which is more for elementary aged children).   My favorite adult book for teaching yoga is Itsy Bitsy Yoga for toddlers and preschoolers.  Mirette loves the burrito where we wrap her up in the yoga mat, pretend to eat the burrito and then unroll her.
