Seattle-based yoga teacher Susanna Stratford has written Mama Yoga and the Story of Namaste which is an
enchanting, extremely colorful and fun-filled children’s picture book that
encourages children and their parents to get up and move, stretch and
build strong bodies and develop sweet minds together all with a basis on yoga.

It is intended for children ages 5-9 and one adult per child. That means it was absolutely perfect for my 6 year old daughter and I to do together. She has had an interest in yoga since I took it up a year ago and I was thrilled to have this book so we could enjoy it together.
You will
glide from calm to silly and back to calm with a yoga story, partner
poses, surprises, meditation, and a peaceful rest at the end. No yoga experience necessary, but loads of fun and bonding to be had!
The book also contains photographs of the real, beautiful and diverse children who inspired the characters in the story. They show you how to safely try different yoga poses all with beautiful pictures that are easy to follow.
About The AuthorSusanna
is a former elementary school teacher turned mother turned yogini
turned author. She was raised in Houston, and after living in Illinois,

Susanna Stratford got her start by telling her yoga stories to her yogi friends at the schools where she teaches yoga. She soon realized that kids love stories with a lot of action, but also with a lot of heart.
This gorgeous book gets children off of their seats, moving and
appreciating their awesome bodies in a fun and exciting way. My daughter absolutely loves reading this book with me and practicing yoga together. With its fun to follow story and easy steps to actual yoga poses that children can actually master this is a book we are sure to read for years to come.
