Reviews for Yoga Girls´ Club: Do Yoga, Make Art, Be You
Karen Gibbons, art therapist, yoga therapist, founder of Yoga and Art NYC, therapist with the Art Therapy Outreach Center, New York City and author of Integrating Art Therapy and Yoga Therapy Tiffani Bryant's book, Yoga Girls' Club, invites girls to know and cherish themselves using the ancient tools of yoga and art. The book is laid out in a way that is easy to use, the drawings are charming, the inquiries are intelligent and thoughtful, and the projects are fun! I would recommend this book to all young women and yoga teachers who teach young women. And.... I have to admit, I also found valuable information for myself and my yoga students!
Angela Phillips, Owner, Director, Teacher, Angela Phillips Yoga Studio Yoga Girls' Club not only teaches you about yoga but it also teaches you about you, this is a tool to learn about both yoga and about yourself.
Jesse Carter, yoga student The book really opened by eyes to a whole new side to yoga. Before I was just going through the motions and now I feel like I am breathing into each move, sculpting my soul, and creating a reality I love being a part of.
Jenna Carlton, yoga student What is very appealing about Yoga Girls' Club is that Bryant guides the reader and encourages her (it is aimed at girls, although the exercises could be carried out by anyone) to make time and space for yoga, self-reflection, relaxation and play with colours. There are even little projects to attempt such as making a mala (bracelet) or a mask, and larger projects such as defeating one's emotional gremlins. The overriding attraction of this book is that it encourages the reader - both younger and older girls - to turn herself into a project and to feel good about herself inside and out.
Optimum Nutrition This is a great book for teens or those teaching teens. It is highly interactive and focuses on listening to your inner voice. [This book is] very informative and an easy to use yoga manual.
