The book uses poem and prose to introduce the true spirit of India and yoga to young children.

*Yoga Kids (video)* starring: instructor Marsha Wenig, et. al. (ages 3 and up) $9.95 #YOGAKIDSVID I enjoy this 30-minute video because it focuses on animals to introduce the poses. Time spent viewing each animal really helps the child make the association. It appears to tone the inner and outer self. This means that children can learn an ancient art in a modern format on their favorite medium, TV. This video even includes lessons on breathing, balance and relaxation. The best thing about this video is Jessica chose it and does it by herself. Adults without prior knowledge of yoga will enjoy this video. The only real caution, it does include a move that involves the headstand -- you decide if your child should do this move.	*Babar's Yoga for Elephants* DeBrunhoff, Laurent $16.95 #BABAR5880 (H) This book is an adorable introduction to yoga poses through the eyes of the beloved character, Babar. The book explains how yoga was introduced to Celesteville and how Babar and Queen Celeste keep fit doing yoga on their many travels. Includes a pull-out poster showing Babar in yoga poses.
