Today's children are facing fitness and stress issues that their parents did not face while growing up. The hectic but less physically-active lifestyle of the family can extend down to its youngest members, making this book an innovative resource. The Yoga ABC's introduces children of all ages to the basic yoga poses in a novel way. Presented in an alphabetical layout, the yoga poses help very young children learn their ABC's through physical reinforcement, while the easy-to-remember ABC's format helps older children recall the poses to enhance physical fitness and stress-reducing routines. Each pose is colorfully illustrated and demonstrated by one of the three child characters in the book - Alvin, Beatrice or Conner. Although The Yoga ABC's serves everyday physical activity programs for children in schools, daycare centers and youth groups, it is also intended for use in children's hospitals and physical therapy facilities where movement and stress-relieving activities are used in injury and illness rehabilitation. This book is also useful for the mentally and emotionally challenged child.Ryzewski, Deborah is the author of 'Yoga ABC's with Alvin, Beatrice and Conner', published 2005 under ISBN 9780976530206 and ISBN 0976530201.
