 18-month old yogi March 29, 2008

I've just begun to use this book, and it is fantastic. My 18-month old son is very active and really enjoys trying out different poses after watching me do a short routine. He especially likes down dog, which is not surprising given that babies like to look at the world from different vantage points. The author gives good advice on how to instruct your child using simple language and keeps the routines brief, which is perfect for us at this point. Overall, we've had a lot of fun and have laughed quite a bit. A fun way to engage with your toddler.
Outstanding! April 19, 2008

This is the 2nd book I got from Helen. After looking through her two dvds on baby yoga and her book Yoga for Toddlers, it's fair to admit that Helen is a genius! This book is GREAT for anyone seriously working with small children and who wants to incorporate fun-filled action that is also important to children's health and physical development. This book is ground breaking because I've ever seen anyone incorporate such concepts into a kindergarten or elementary school.
And the poses do WORK! These ideas should seriously be considered for kids pre-k and up in any school in any country. I can't wait for the dvd - if there is one on this book! Helen is a genius!

Great bonding with daughter June 4, 2009

I purchased this book through amazon to use with my 2 (almost 3) year old daughter. She loves pulling out our yoga mat and doing the poses with me. It is a wonderful way for us to bond with eachother and spend some time together. The poses are easy enough for her to do well, and she feels proud of herself when I praise her for doing a great job. In the book, there is a picture of a child in each pose as well as an easy to understand description of how to do the pose. Each pose also has info from the child's point of view to tell you the benefits of that pose. There are different groupings of poses, so you can choose a routine specific for your child's needs, such as poses to do in the morning to stretch and wake the body, or poses that help a toddler having a tantrum, or poses to help your child build balance, etc. There are extra tips in each pose from Helen, the author in a section called "On the Go with Helen". I am finding the routines easy to remember after doing only one time. So I won't have to sit and stare at the book the whole time every time we do yoga. Once we get it down, we will just use it as a reference.
a nice follow up to the first one July 8, 2009

i bought this to have the follow up for itsy bitsy yoga for infants. it follows in the spirit of the first book and it does great.
it doesn't say though how to slow down a toddler long enough for yoga but i guess i have to figure that one out.
if you liked the first one, you'll like this one. save yourself the hassle and get the together if you can.
I LOVE Itsy Bitsy Yoga!!!! February 8, 2009

I am SO happy that Helen produced this second Itsy Bitsy Yoga book for toddlers and pre-schoolers! I really love the section for each pose that describes how to incorporate that pose into daily life to make things easier and more fun. I use "crane pose" to get my son's pants, socks and shoes on. "Bridge pose" helps with diaper changes. Sure, sitting down for several minutes of yoga brings great delight to my toddler, but 'yoga on the go' is a lifesaver for mom!
