Come Alive with Yoga
For 3-10 Year Olds
By Mahajyoti Glassman and Nancy Gannon
This new arrival explores the 8 limbs of yoga as outlined by the Yoga Sage, Patanjali, 2000 years ago and upgraded more recently by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. Come Alive redefines Astaunga yoga with child-friendly tips on how to transform adult yoga for young children through creativity, imagination, sound, and movement. This Astaunga Yoga section is sprinkled with how sensory experiences are the spices that make yoga come alive. Here the yoga enthusiast (whether parent or teacher) will find:
- Numerous gentle and safe breathing experiences.
- Singing, dancing, and yoga chanting, the most uplifting preparations for meditation.
- Directions for creating guided deep relaxations.
- Several unique strategies for kids’ meditations.
- Using positivity to nurture resiliency.
- The therapeutic advantages of each of these 8 limbs.
MahaJyoti delves into the very foundation of Astaunga yoga, the Yamas and Niyamas. Speaking of yoga ethics, the most ideal strategy for introducing these to young children are through yoga stories. Niiti has created over 2 dozen delightful yoga dramas which are easy-to-facilitate at home or school with over 20 beautifully illustrated yoga cards.
Come Alive is a wonderful guidebook for providing Astaunga Yoga experiences for the young 3–10-year-old child, a special tool for every yoga library.
