Reviews and praise for "Fly Like A Butterfly: Yoga for Children"

"A delightful book! In an age when our children are assaulted with unhealthy stimulation from the time of their birth — the practice of yoga offers an opportunity for them to gain a sense of peace, centeredness, and self-confidence."

John Robbins
author of "Diet for A New America", and Executive Director of EarthSave

'Shakta's book is generous in photos, even more generous in creativity. Stories accompany the how-to instructions, supplemented by writing that is unpretentiously delightful.'

Rose Rosetree for Pathways Magazine

'Rather than providing a monotonous list of postures, Khalsa uses the poses to tell a story--one is about a mountain, others take us on an animal adventure. Instructions for poses are embedded in the story lines....Balloons, birthday candles, and moving belly pillows are used to introduce breathing practices.'

'Another terrific feature of this book is that it addresses the mind. The meditation chapter includes practices for silence, for connecting to that which is greater than I know myself to be, for getting out all the 'yeses' and 'nos', and for becoming one with 'yoga' sounds. My six-year-old daughter enjoyed breathing away thoughts she didn't like (like scary ones), and we both liked the idea of having a cookie under our meditation seat to remind us that meditation is sweet.'

'I just discovered your website and think it is wonderful. Also, I have had " Fly Like A Butterfly" ever since it first came out and I recommend it to everyone (I teach yoga and relaxation to all ages and to professionals too). The pictures are beautiful, the instructions are clear and practical, and yummy energy just emanates from my book (I swear!).'
