A lot of the games were great, I just can't see the massage portion of this book going over very well in the US culture. Especially in this day and age.

I used this book to develop a yoga program for kids. It has been valuable at helping me learn beginning poses and how to teach them in ways kids will understand. It's a great resource I've considered buying for my personal collection because I used it so much!
