Product Review:  You Are a Lion! And Other Fun Yoga Poses [Hardcover] (Ages 3 and up)

You Are a Lion! is scheduled to be released on March 15, 2012, but I got my hands on a review copy and this is my first official public blog scoop!  It is fitting since I am a huge Hatha Yoga buff and I have tried to incorporate my yoga practice into my toddler’s life.  She loves to unroll my yoga mats and one of her first 25 words included the word ‘mat’.  When I got the opportunity to review this book, I jumped all over it.  It promises a playful introduction to yoga for young children and gives them an opportunity to join in the fun that so many of their parents enjoy.

Taeeun Yoo is a beautiful illustrator as well as author and my favorite pages of the book show children in similar poses with the animals they represent.  The visuals are quite powerful and it is lovely to see children pictured in empowering poses such as a Mountain where they soar up high, solid and mighty, touching the sky.  I would recommend this book to any fellow yogi with a young child who wants a nice demonstration of flexibility, focus and fun of yoga in their lives.  Namaste!
