From Drama to Yoga
This book has been a true inspiration as a mother, drama teacher, and storyteller. It blends movement with story in such a gentle and touching way, and has now helped me to create a whole new approach to warm-up exercises in drama classes with children aged 3-10. More and more teachers and parents are understanding the benefits of using yoga in classes and at home, but many people say it is hard to get children to focus on the poses for long enough. When reading this book, I thought, "of course, as a storyteller, why had I not thought of this?! Tell a story as you incorporate the poses!!" The illustrations are beautiful, and the story-poems divine. If you are a parent or a teacher, this book is a must if you would like to nourish the imagination and body.

Yoga Journal Review
With inspired poems, illustrations and yoga postures, Ken Cohen and Joan Hyme have created a magical book that will appeal to children of all ages. Imagine That! is a beautiful handbook for doing yoga with your children.

Medical Doctor's Book Review
I am eager to recommend this superbly illustrated and explanatory book of yoga for children. It will fill a much needed place, both for medical practitioners who are now turning to prevent medicine and holistic health care and to the general public.
