This is a great idea for a non-fiction picture book. Unfortunately, it commits one of the biggest sins when it comes to teaching a new skill to young readers: It's confusing.
The book starts by introducing us to four young dinosaurs, each with a quirk that gives them a bit of trouble. Rex has anger issues, for example. And Trixie sometimes loses focus. So they could all benefit from yoga, right?
The illustrations are adorable, colourful, and very appealing, which makes the book all the more frustrating when it comes to the actual instructions. I'm an adult, and while I'm no expert, I've taken a few yoga classes. So I should be able to follow directions like this. But some of the instructions aren't clear. Even worse, sometimes the instructions don't match the illustrations! In one spot, the order of the movements is different in the text and pictures. In another spot, the text refers to the right while the illustration shows the left.
And that might not be such a problem if these didn't seem like very advanced poses. Frustration over not being able to figure out what the book is talking about added to the frustration of falling over while trying to execute some of these movements doesn't seem like an activity conducive to calm. (Take, for example, the Sitting Hand Over Toe Pose. Basically, you stand on your right leg with your right arm in the air, grab the toes of your left leg with the other hand while extending the leg out in front of you, then lower yourself so your butt is resting on your right heel... and then somehow stand back up, all without losing your balance. I can't even accomplish that one in my imagination!)
This might be okay for kids whose parents are yogis themselves and can explain how to do the poses (including the Mountain Pose, which was mentioned but never properly explained). But I'm afraid this could cause quite a bit of frustration for those who are new to yoga. And that kind of defeats the purpose of the book.

Don't read the instructions. Read the narrative and the meditations, and use the pictures to adapt the poses to what you can do.

I highly enjoyed this with my kids. We didn't read each page in depth. We just imitated the poses and the breathing exercises were so good for calm moments. If you don't go in depth with each page, it's a fun distraction and a time to focus on a rainy day. We put on calm yogi music in the background.

Uwielbiam DINO JOGĘ! Ta książeczka jest wspaniała, prosta w treści, pomocna, ciepła, z genialnym podejściem do dziecka, ale i do dorosłego, który swoją przygodę z jogą dopiero zaczyna. Słodkie ilustracje, przepiękni bohaterowie, jasne przesłanie. Ujmująca pozycja!
Lorena Pajalunga stworzyła świetną rzecz, która z miejsca zachęca do ćwiczeń, a przecież każdy wie, jak ważne jest, by się ruszać, by zacząć się rozciągać już od młodych lat. Nasze ciało służy nam każdego dnia, bez wytchnienia, nawet w nocy dla nas pracuje. MUSIMY O NIE DBAĆ, drugiego nie dostaniemy. Lecz w jodze chodzi także o pokrzepienie ducha, o odpoczynek psychiczny, bez którego również daleko nie zajdziemy.
Autorka pokazała w swojej książce proste asany, ćwiczenia, które może wykonać każdy - jeśli nie za pierwszym, to za drugiem razem... lub za dwudziestym. Grunt to próbować. Wszystko jest znakomicie objaśnione i odrysowane.
Właśnie! ILUSTRACJE są absolutnie wspaniałe! Anna Lang przepięknie namalowała dinozaury, które zyskują momentalnie naszą sympatię i z którymi możemy się UWAGA utożsamić. Ich charaktery odpowiadają charakterom ludzi, którzy czytać będą tę książkę. Uwielbiam okrągłą Triksi, złośnika Reksa, ruchliwego Raptora i nieśmiałą Daktyle... no i mistrz Diplo wymiata!
Ilustracje są wręcz wzruszające, dotykają jakiejś takiej delikatnej strony serca, sprawiają, że rodzą się w czytelniku pozytywne emocje. Te obrazy, w połączeniu z mądrym i jasnym tekstem tworzą wartościową całość - RUSZMY SIĘ, ZAKRĘĆMY KUPERKIEM, póki jeszcze możemy, zadbajmy o siebie, O swoje zdrowie fizyczne i psychiczne - o samopoczucie.
DINO JOGA została rewelacyjnie wydana, a jedyne, co bym dodała, to objętości. Och jak ja bym chciała, by tak książka była grubaśna i zawierała wszystkie pozycje jogi! Ależ to byłby skarb! Bardzo się cieszę z tej książeczki i już razem z mniejszą istotką ćwiczymy zawzięcie - bo chcemy mieć silne ciałka.
mostek, chwyt za paluch, medytacja podczas chodzenia - zróbmy to dla siebie

Skvělý nápad, ale trošku nedotažené zpracování. Dinosauři sice zaujmou, ale některé jógové pozice jsou v jejich podání poněkud nesrozumitelné. Popisky taky moc nepomůžou, často jsou zbytečně krkolomné. Na můj vkus taky hodně "ezo", což podle mě může některé děti zbytečně od cvičení odradit, protože jim to může připadat divné nebo trapné.
