Summary: Teen Yogi
Comment: This is a great book, not just for teens but for anyone practising yoga. We are all stressed.
I would love to have a class with Chryssicas about teaching teens. She seems to have her finger on the pulse of what they need.

Summary: yoga for teens
Comment: This book covers alot of important issues for teens in a way that appeals to them. I purchased the book for myself as a teacher but ended up buying more to satisfy the requests of a couple of teens. Pictures are good and cues for the poses are simple and clear.

Summary: Not just for teens!
Comment: I just graduated from college and I'm not new to yoga, but this warm and friendly book got me into practicing yoga again. The approach is inviting, not intimidating, and although the instructions are perhaps a little too basic for someone who's used to seeing a set of at least 5 steps for a single yoga pose, they are concise and thorough enough to appeal to a teenager or someone who gets confused by long instructions (like me!). The fun and colorful layout is appealing and easy to follow. The book is also full of compassionate advice on how to incorporate the components of yoga into your daily life.

Summary: Light and pretty introduction
Comment: This small, short book gives a user-friendly survey of yoga that is appropriate for teens and tweens. Frankly, I think the younger audiences will gravitate more to this than the over-thirteen set, who might be a little put off by the very "fun" tone.
This book is not going to give an exhaustive introduction to yoga. It provides information on some of the benefits, some of the styles, and some of the uses for yoga (stress reduction, weight management, supplement to sports-training, etc.). There is some information about breathing, but it's pretty light, which is probably the biggest disappointment of the book.
My other gripe about the book is that while there is quite a bit of talk about body acceptance, most of the models used seem to be of the standard willowy and thin type, even if they don't all have model looks (which is a relief). Since there is talk about weight loss and management, I'd hate to think that the use of these models give teens the idea that they can attain that kind of body through the use of the routines the author describes.
It is a colorful, inviting release, but it won't and shouldn't be the only guide you'll need, even as an introduction.

Summary: A fun, colorful introduction to yoga!
Comment: This a great book for young teenage girls (no boys are pictured). The young models are all very pretty, but also very natural and "real," a refreshing departure from the overly made-up and airbrushed models we are used to seeing. This is a great book for promoting true self-esteem in girls. The yogic principles are presented in a way that teens can easily understand and apply to their lives. This is a very well-designed and possitive book for teens. For younger kids, please take a look at this: Power Brain Kids
