Book Reviews of Sleepy Little Yoga: A Toddler's Sleepy Book of Yoga

Book Review: Toddler Becomes Teacher
Summary: 5 Stars

After attending a few family yoga classes with me, my two-year-old was hooked. She wants to do my yoga videos with me every day, and is disappointed when I go to my classes alone. We got her this book for Christmas, and it was one of her favorite gifts. She grabs it every night at bedtime, flips through the pages, and pretends to be the yoga teacher showing us how to do the poses.

The eight simple asanas presented in this book are illustrated by animals - uttanasana (standing forward bend) is demonstrated by a sleepy hanging bat. A bunny, porcupine, owl, and bee teach other postures as well as breathing and eye palming techniques. It ends appropriately with savasana as your child pretends to drift off to sleep on a cloud. There is further information about yoga and the specific poses at the end of the book, as well as photos of toddlers practicing the postures.

Our whole family now joins in on the bedtime yoga, and it has been wonderful for our toddler in so many ways. She is still not able to hold the postures for very long (really only a few seconds), but I feel it's a great start to living a long, healthy life. Yoga is wonderful for calming children (try Child's Pose instead of a time-out!), and this book gives both children and parents a place to begin together. It is much simpler and less time-consuming than the Itsy Bitsy Yoga books (which are great, too, but much more of a commitment). It's also a fabulous tool for role-play - your toddler will love to be the yoga teacher!
