The Girls' Yoga Book: Stretch Your Body, Open Your Mind, and Have Fun! (Girl Zone)
Grade 4-6 Benefits of yoga are identified through textual descriptions of exercises and vibrant color drawings of girls performing the poses and variations. Relaxation, breathing, and the use of yoga as a stress reliever for anxiety about one's body, family, school, and social situations is the clear focus. Facts about yoga and the language and different types are sprinkled throughout the book, while brightly colored boxes provide information on how to perform the poses in a sequential manner. Quotes, or girl talk, provide advice about life. The zany color combinations attract the eye to various sections of the pages, which sometimes seem too busy. Girls interested in yoga and in ways to relieve tensions should find the book lively and informative.Janice C.
