Breathe

Yoga for teens

by Mary Kaye Chryssicas

Breathe Yoga for Teens by Mary Kaye Chryssicas

     Mary Kaye Chryssicas holds popular teen classes in her Boston studio and it shows in her upbeat, encouraging voice. Featuring fresh-faced teen models and fun graphics, this introduction to yoga for teens focuses just as much on what is happening inside as what is happening on the mat. Chryssicas speaks frankly about the stresses of teen life - busy schedules and social pressures - but manages to keep it lighthearted. The candy-colored pages are sprinkled liberally with snippets of her advice and personal stories from her own teen years. Chryssicas can get deep - the chapter on "Confidence Builders," that features warrior poses and hip openers, encourages girls to "recognize the power of your thoughts and turn them around." At the same time she never loses a sense of fun - the accompanying DVD even has a blooper reel.
     The book begins with groupings of postures that cultivate certain attitudes, complement sports activities or different body types. For the final sections, Chryssicas collects the postures into practice sequences with names like "Wake-up Call" and "Total Confidence." Her holistic approach includes introducing basic Vedic teachings such as nonharming, truth and self-restraint and explaining the concept of karma. Meditation practices, props and even yoga class etiquette lay a solid foundation for any yoga-oriented teen and the instructional video furthers understanding of the poses. It's amazing that so much can be packed into these breezy 160 pages. Breathe will have something to offer the teen girl in your life, both for her blossoming yoga practice and beyond.
      A mother of three, Chryissicas is the founder of Buddhaful Kids Yoga near Boston. She has taught and coached kids in sports and yoga for over 15 years. Her study of yoga includes Ashtanga, Kundalini, Anusara and Iyengar styles and training with the Radiant Child Yoga Program.

High Praise for Breathe Yoga For Teens: "Featuring teenage models and their stories, the book successfully teaches self-confidence and compassion in terms that any teen with an open mind will find enlightening." -- Yoga Journal
