The ultimate guide to teaching yoga for parents and teachers

An inspiring distillation of Lynea and Jim Gillen’s four decades of experience teaching kid’s yoga in school, counseling and clinical settings, with a diverse range of PreK-12 students, including those with ADD/ADHD, ASD, anxiety and other disorders.

Filled with photos, illustrations, lesson plans, and an extensive quick-reference bibliography, this detailed manual is an indispensable guide for introducing yoga in public school and therapeutic settings, as well as a great handbook for parents who would like to share yoga with their children.

Easy to use and appropriate for children and teenagers, it includes information on integrating the Yoga Calm technique with regular classwork, modifications for specific classroom situations, alignment and safety principles, anecdotal examples from the authors’ direct experience, and “emotional first aid tips” to help young people maintain a calm center when they most need it.

Featuring anecdotes about the depth and resiliency of children, time-tested practical tips and emotional first aid suggestions for helping kids develop:

  • Self-control
  • Attention
  • Imagination
  • Social/Emotional Skills
  • Physical Fitness

The #1 selling book for teaching school-based yoga and winner of four national book awards
