Smile with Yoga: Fun, Mindful, and Engaging Yoga for Kids (and Their Parents)

With a few years of yoga practice to his credit, my son gained a new respect for the illustrated Warrior Pose, thanks to reading Smile with Yoga: Fun, Mindful, and Engaging Yoga for Kids (and Their Parents) written by I. Rekem. Creatively delivered, this book shares a beginner yoga experience for all to enjoy. Brilliantly illustrated by Alifstyle, instructional yoga positions are paired with amusing, rhythmic mindful messages to gently guide this kid-friendly intro into the flow and feel of yoga. We've practiced yoga together many times, however the Downward Dog Tunnel from the Games and Activities lesson was a first (and not last!) for us. We highly recommend families and educators to use Smile with Yoga to add a little excitement to your yoga experience.

This is a unique book I came across.. it's so engaging for my 3 year old.. he loves to do all poses as shown in the book. The quality of pages is very good.. wont easily get torn by the toddler.. each page is very different.. he also tries to count the animals on each page.. I would love to see more such engaging books to help toddler learn..

I really liked the book! I want to share my impressions. I know that yoga is not only a great sport, a part of culture, but also an important part of life for some people. I had an interest in yoga recently, I watched a lot of videos and read about it, but the book "Smile with Yoga" by I. Rekem seemed to me very interesting and informative, even if I am not a child)) In my opinion, this is a unique idea, since practicing yoga from childhood is very useful, it helps children to concentrate on learning, to be more healthy and improve self-control. I liked how the author added illustrations, which can increase children's interest in this sport. After reading the author's biography, I can say for sure that he is a professional in his field and read his book a pleasure.I think that I will definitely show “Smile with Yoga” to my cousins, we will do the exercises together and play, because this book is universal: for children and their parents! Highly recommended!

My nieces are hooked on this book since they got it last month, they are now 'forcing' a family yoga sessions on us!It is charming and captivating book which sets a perfect atmosphere for the kids to practice and learn yoga, but not just.

This book, written by I. Rekem and illustrated by Alifstyle will teach your children the invaluable practice of Yoga. I. Rekem uses techniques in his book that will help your children become balanced, creative and calm while helping your children improve their confidence, and physical health. I. Rekem’s goal as an author is to engage your kids into the “joyful path” of Yoga.I. Rekem’s book makes it next to impossible not to become fully involved in yoga. It is LIFE! The book cleverly uses rhyming to catch and engage children’s attention throughout the book. It also relates the yoga poses to animals to make it more enjoyable and appealing. Who doesn’t want to stand tall like a flamingo on only one foot? I know I do!

I brought this book for my 5 year old niece for her coming birthday, since she is starting yoga lessons. After looking through the pages before wrapping it couldnt be happier with the choice. Amazing book! Great for the child or adults to read it to the children.. Simple to understand. Easy yoga instructions poses, fun facts that i my self did not know about. Like: Kangaroos not being able to jump backwards, flamingo sleeping with only 1 leg etc. Great book. I highly recommend this book for any parent/caregiver/instructor. Very satisfied with my choice and purchase! :)

So my sister-in-law has a yoga class that she goes to a couple times a week, when she gets ready to leave her girls are always begging to go! So now that i ordered this book, while she is gone doing her yoga class, the girls and I stay home and do our own Yoga! I love how simple the book is to understand. And the girls love learning all of the yoga poses!! Win-Win for mom, auntie, and the girls!!

Smile with Yoga: Fun, Mindful, and Engaging Yoga for Kids I. Rekem is a great way to introduce yoga to kids. With fun illustrations that show exactly how to do the poses, and on the opposite page from the poses, even more illustrations, this is a great book that will appeal to kids and the adults who read it to them. The author is the founder of Poetryoga, which is a specialized yoga brand for children. This book is a great way to teach kids about the fundamentals of yoga, along with a mindfulness mindset, which is so needed in today's world. With rhymes, activities, animal facts, and more, this is a wonderful book all the way around. Highly recommend.
