Product Description
The ultimate guide for parents, teachers and other adults who want to introduce yoga to children, as well as help kids manage stress, build social skills and create lifelong fitness habits! Lavishly illustrated, Yoga Calm for Children includes 60 practical, easy-to teach activities, as well as alignment and safety principles and "emotional first aid" tips. It shows school teachers and counselors how to integrate Yoga Calm activities with regular class work and modify them for specific classroom situations. And it inspires through stories from the authors own experiences of helping kids learn, grow and thrive with Yoga Calm. Specially designed for use in K-12 schools and therapeutic settings, Yoga Calms principle-based approach makes it effective in any environment and with a broad range of ages, populations and abilities, including children with ADHD, anxiety and other disorders.[This] beautiful book...offers a clear program for introducing educational activities and curriculum that address the whole child, rather than just the academic mind.

Great Book for people who work with Kids! February 11, 2008
This book is a great way to let children learn through activity using mind and body together in an easy and practical way. Anyone can use these activities in the book. It's written in a way that is easy to read and has lesson ideas that are easy to apply right away with kids. It's a great way to learn about YogaCalm, especially if you haven't had the chance to take their workshops, which are amazing! I am a school counselor and use this program on a daily basis in elementary schools (in a very conservative community) where the kids and parents both love it.
ONE GREAT RESOURCE! February 10, 2008
Yoga Calm for Children is one practical resource! The book continually provides actual things you can do RIGHT NOW with children, to help them focus, be more grounded, feel confident in themselves, and relate with the world in a positive manner. Jim and Lynea have proven their techniques to be successful, through their own experiences with children. Read even a little of this book, and you already have options and approaches to try, in whatever setting you are in. The bonus is that you get to also do these poses and exercises yourself! In this challenging world, we all need tools like Yoga Calm, to use in our daily lives, with children and also with other adults. I have brought Yoga Calm into my art classes, and it has helped all of us focus, feel grounded, and more confident to meet the day with inner strength.
Fantastic resource for anyone working with chlidren February 9, 2008
The Gillen's have outdone themselves with this great new resource. Yoga is a great way to unwind, and regain balance for adults. They apply the same principles for children.
It's a step by step book so teachers, counselors, parents, whoever works with children can help children reap the benefits yoga provides.
Highly recommend adding this book to your collection!
Outstanding Reference February 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As an Occupational Therapist working in elementary schools, much of my work is helping students find ways to manage their own energy levels and increase their ability to pay attention in class. I have found that using the techniques described in Yoga Calm for Children, especially the breathing and calming strategies, students are discovering what it feels like to be focused, centered and able to concentrate on their school work. They enjoy the challenge of the balance poses. I have just begun going into preschool through 5th grade classrooms to do 15 minutes of yoga poses, breathing and positive visualization. Students and teachers appreciate the movement breaks and centering exercises. I use Yoga Calm for Children as my reference: it is quick, easy to use and stimulates my own ideas for activities. The exercises described in the book are a wonderful way to honor children and set a positive tone in the classroom. Thanks to Jim and Lynea Gillen for creating such a timely and much needed reference!
