Editorial Reviews

Keep calm and do yoga should be the mantra of this manual, which introduces teen girls to the ancient practice from India that balances the body, mind, and spirit. . . .Newbies and experienced yogis alike will benefit from this easy-to-follow guide.

Booklist

If you’re looking for an accessible introductory book for a tween or teen who wants to learn more about yoga, Yoga For Your Mind & Body by Rebecca Rissman is a good choice. . . .As a mother, I was pleased to see that the publisher took care to represent girls from a wide range of ethnicities as well as different body types. For a book aimed at young teens, I think it’s vital that girls see models they can relate to. Yoga For Your Mind & Body gets an “A” for promoting fitness and well-being as opposed to unrealistic beauty standards.
