Yaks Can Do Yoga! (Happy Panda Children's Yoga Books)

This was gift for my best friend’s grandson and he loves it.

The more yoga you do, the more stretchy you will become." YESSSSSSS! I'm constantly preaching this to people, OF ALL AGES.A couple of things you need to know about me before we get to this review:1) I've been a yogi since I was 14.2) I'm a Youth Services Librarian, and picture books are a part of my daily life.3) In ALL of my story times and programs, I have the kids practice one or two yoga poses EVERY time.So, this book is RIGHT up my alley :)From page one, I enjoyed this picture book. Watching Yak go from uncertainty and negative thoughts to empowering and confident ones is exactly what yoga feels like for any new beginner. Heck, I still have those thoughts every now and again when I'm faced with a challenging pose! I really like how the illustrations show the animals at the beginning of class sitting in the positions most comfortable for them. It's so important when starting a yoga practice--especially for kids!--to know yoga should never hurt. And it's these little things in the dialogue, and illustrations, that give a strong nod to yoga. Also, the pictures, and instructor, explain how yoga is a constant practice, show it doesn't have to be perfect; it's a learning process.And my favorite parts are the visual images the little yogis picture in their minds while mimicing poses. Super cute and realistic!This is the first in the series, and I'm looking forward to more of Happy Panda.*Thanks to love books tours and the publisher for a gifted copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

4.5⭐️First off, the cover is so cute. And the title of already makes it interesting. Secondly, the story line is easy to follow and great examples in how to do yoga. The steps are easy to follow and I find it interesting. It is also very colorful and fun. One issue is that it is an electronic version and I couldn’t really get the full benefit of a picture book out of it. Definitely recommend purchasing it hardcover vs ebook.

Yaks Can Do Yoga! is an adorable children's book with lovely illustrations. It's a story about trying new things (in this case, yoga) and finding friendship along the way.Yak is at her first Happy Panda Yoga Class, but she doesn't feel like she's ready (or steady) for yoga. As she tries new poses, Yak wobbles a bit, but soon she discovers that yaks can do yoga. How fun!This is a sweet, delightful read. Children will love Yak and her new friends from yoga. They're a great bunch of characters and will appeal to kids.A wonderful book that children will love and want to read again and again.5 stars!

This was such a cute story! I loved how it explains yoga poses to children. There isn't anything too complicated. I also enjoyed the friendship that developed in the end. It had very realistic situations. I don't want too much away. You are just going to have to read it to your kids! I highly recommend it! It would be an amazing story to discuss with your young child.

I bought Yaks can do Yoga! for my 8 year old boy and he really likes it! The story has such a lovely message it brings and a hearty feel to it and the visuals are simply amazing. The yoga exercises are something the whole family can get involved in together, perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon 😃. Definitely recommend the book and Snezana’s bright, positive and boundless energy certainly flows into the book!

What an absolutely brilliant story 🥰 I read it to my 5 yr old son last night and I just loved it!!! It was such a great introduction to kids yoga as well as being a great story about persevering and believing in yourself . My son loved it too, we both had a great time reading it and talking about the pictures. So perfect for my son as he is so under confident in all forms of sports / exercise xxxx

Present for my grandchildren. Beautifully illustrated and very well written for young children. Shows the importance of yoga and play.

Lovely book! Both kids enjoyed it (8yrs and 5yrs old), my 5yr old son especially loved reading about the animals and their magical peaceful places, and decided on his own magical place to imagine when he closes his eyes (a funfair!). I think this book is a great introduction to yoga for kids.

This book was really good! My daughter absolutely loved it and wants to read it over and over again! Fantastic buy more than 5*
