Title:
Born Yogis
Author: Susie Arnett and Doug Kim
Description from inside
cover:
"Carefree and flexible, babies are blessed with a natural
ability to perform the 100 plus asanas of yoga as they learn
to sit up, crawl, and walk. In Born Yogis,
Susie Arnett and Doug Kim present fifty irresistible
photographs of little ones curling into a variety of poses -
from the suitably named Baby pose to the more ambitious, but
equally effortless, Upward-Facing Bow. Each delightful
photograph is accompanied by a contemplative quote from
yogis past and present, including a forward from Gurmukh
Kaur Khalsa, a renowned expert in Kundalini yoga,
meditation, and pre- and postnatal care.

You don't need to be a
parent or a student of yoga to derive joy and inspiration
from these moments of wide-eyed wonderment, quiet
concentration, innocence, and playfulness. At once
peaceful and brimming with energy, Born Yogis is a
celebration of the inner child in us all."
Review: This book
shows yoga from its most purest form, through the simplicity
of children. Each captivating picture is complimented
by a powerful quote. The grace and beauty of a
child's natural light brings a different dimension of
thinking towards these quotes and the practice of yoga.
Every picture is a piece of art and is full of beautiful
emotion. Each child's expression is a window to help
open and deepen your practice. Each quote can't help
to be contemplated with the view of your inner child. This
book allows us to take the ancient text or wisdom of a
teacher and see it with more innocent eyes.
This book is a wonderful
gift of inspiration. Gaze through it before your
practice, give it as a gift, or read it to a child.
For our youngest yogi at YogaFamily.com, Jai (at age 2)
loves to see other children doing yoga. He loves to look at
the book and do the posture as an activity by himself (or of
course with the family ;).
