Review & Description
The core purpose of this book is to educate parents, teachers and yoga professionals in a kid-popular and educational sequence of yoga poses to the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet. The poses challenge children to utilize kinesthetic movement and deep breathing as they learn the alphabetical letters and sounds while they invoke their creative spirits.

Betsy Stix:
As a child Betsy watched animals bend and stretch and tried to imitate their flexibility, agility, economy of movement, and grace. She was a tree climber, horseback rider, runner, soccer player, and gymnast, and by the time she began studying the asanas in college she had already acquired a list of injuries and imbalances. She quickly noticed that yoga made her feel better. She became an English, French, and yoga teacher and has taught children and adults for the last twenty-five years. The two constants in her life have been yoga and teaching. She has completed 3 yoga teacher training programs and is a Thai Yoga Massage therapist. She holds a B.A. in English from Williams College and an M.A. from Stanford U. in Curriculum Development and Teacher Education.
As a teacher Betsy tries to help her students connect to their breath, their bodies, and their beauty. She currently teaches English, Creative Writing, and Yoga at Besant Hill School as well as kids’ and adult yoga classes in the Ojai Valley. She is grateful to all her teachers, especially her family and the Earth, for their love and patience.
