Daria's Reviews > Breathe: Yoga for Teens

I purchased this book for my daughter but picked it up to read myself this week and absolutely love the format. a brief introduction to yoga provides foundational information to readers. This is followed by color coded sections (the pages are actually different beautiful colors), each of which describes a group of asanas specific to one concept (for instance, warming up, power, opening the heart, etc.). In addition to the descriptors for the pose, a more metaphoric description of life as a teen is also provided. Additionally, the author often shares personal experiences to further connect the focus of the pose with the reader's experience.
The book comes with a DVD which works young yogis through the poses with joy and laughter. This is a great gift book that provides supportive commentary and solid information to young women.
