Reviews
"Exceptionally 'kid friendly' in organization and presentation, and highly recommended as a unique addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library children's exercise and fitness collections. Rocket Ship Yoga: An Out-of-This-World Kids Yoga Journey for Breathing, Relaxing and Mindfulness by popular children and family recording artist and globally recognized kids' yoga educator Bari Koral ... has beautiful illustrations help guide children ages 3-8 through the poses, along with catchy lyrics that'll have them engaged with their bodies and minds. This will help boost to their physical balance, coordination and mindfulness in ways that only yoga can."
-Midwest Book Review
"Blast off! It's yoga time! It might seem antithetical that a children's book teaching readers yoga postures and the concept of mindfulness-which focuses on the here and now-would use space and space travel as a backdrop. But the playful conceit makes sense considering this title instructs children (and adults sharing the book with kids) to stretch various body parts-arms, hips-up, out, and toward the sky as it demonstrates and describes poses, relaxation techniques, and measured-breathing exercises. It also empowers kids to soar with their minds and imaginations. Simply written, comprehensible text explains the movements and breathing methods required for each pose (which become more complex as the book advances). Colorful illustrations feature lively, space-themed scenes, affirming a sense of adventure as a young, light-skinned child with a ponytail models different, clearly depicted postures. Backmatter elaborates on the physical and emotional benefits inherent in each included pose."
-Kirkus Reviews

I highly recommend Rocket Ship Yoga which is now one of my new favorite children's yoga books."
-Melanie Salvatore-August, author of Yoga to Support Immunity

It includes clever yoga poses and breathing exercises for all energy levels and will leave kids feeling empowered and calm. I also love that the character is a girl! I can't wait to share this book (my new fave) in my kids yoga classes! Thank you, Bari!"
-Shari Vilchez-Blatt, owner of Karma Kids Yoga
"In her first book, kids yoga educator and recording artist Bari Koral makes it easy to incorporate yoga and mindfulness into storytime. With this great new book as a tool, anyone can teach yoga to children, regardless of ability and experience!"
-Rebecca Simone Shaknovich, children's librarian and department head at Free Library of Philadelphia
"Described as an 'out-of-this-world kids yoga journey for breathing, relaxing and mindfulness,' Rocket Ship Yoga is a book that delivers on its promises. It's that and so much more. You can read it as a book or conduct a full yoga class for a memorable space journey! Bari Koral brings the reader gently back to earth with a calming Star Relaxation exercise at the end. Don't miss the Pose Gallery which has an illustration of each pose along with detailed descriptions of benefits and modifications."
-Leslie S. Eslinger, M.Ed., director of education and development at Becker's School Supplies"With 25 years experience teaching early childhood education, many years as a yogi, and now as a devoted grandmother, I am very picky about what I share with my grandchildren! What a gift Bari has given us in Yogapalooza-developmentally appropriate movement infused with irresistible happy songs-joyful and healthy engagement for our little ones! Most blessed are the children whose adults will dance, stretch, stomp, sing and balance with them! I wish I had created Yogapalooza! Thank you Bari, for building this delightful bridge between childhood and yoga at a time on the planet when we can all benefit from more movement and joy!"-Genna Pieri, early childhood educator, grandmother
