Publisher's Synopsis
This clearly written and accessible guide is a wonderful introduction to yoga for teens, their parents and their teachers. Perfect for anyone who works with children aged 13-18, it provides activities for groups and individuals that stimulate the mind, increase stamina and restore calm. Divided into sections, the book groups the exercises by sitting, standing and movement poses, by content (breathing, stretching or visualisation) and by requirements (a mat, an outdoor space, physical contact). Helpful icons designate when an activity is intended for partners or when they are for a single person. Clear illustrations throughout the book demonstrate the poses and special sections of tips for teachers and a study on the mental and physical benefits of yoga for teens are also included. Easy to read and easier to use, this book will help you and your teen begin a lifelong practice that nourishes the mind and the body.
