Yoga Teddy Bear: The Big Little Coloring Book of 108 poses will ensure you are never at a loss for a yoga pose again. Use this book to enhance your practice, learn yoga's Sanskrit names, or even to win prizes or money in Yoga Teddy Bear's ongoing online coloring and yoga contest. It's an equally perfect gift for anyone who already enjoys yoga or a beginner who's curious about the practice.
Yoga Teddy Bear and friends are sure to inspire both creativity and movement in this comprehensive coloring book featuring 108 core yoga poses. Loosely based on the pivotal "Light on Yoga" book by B. K. S. Iyengar that introduced the yoga practice to the west, this compilation of poses begins with Mountain Pose and follows a logical progression of poses to the final Corpse Pose. Loveable characters based on yoga poses such as Downward Dog, Cat and Cow, Monkey, Eagle, Lizard and Turtle join less obvious characters based on interpretations of yoga names such as Plow, Tree, Dragonfly, Sun Dial, Bird of Paradise, Scale and so many more. Other characters such as a mouse, an elephant, a koala, a dragon and an octopus join the cast of characters in interpreting warrior poses and poses dedicated to the sages.
Each page of this engrossing and useful book features a lovingly hand-drawn illustration of Yoga Teddy Bear with a yoga-based character in demonstrating the yoga postures within a creative environment. Readers will gain even more appreciation of the natural world while enjoying these detailed and thoughtful compositions. Examples include: Standing Star (Utthita Tadasana) with a star character set among the constellations of the zodiac; Pyramid / Intense Side Stretch (Parsvottanasana) with a pyramid character joining six other wonders of the world; Thread the Needle (Sucirandhrasana) with Yoga Teddy Bear characters donning fashion-world clothes; funny frogs and toads in Frog Pose (Bhekasana), a folded sandwich character among delicious treats in Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottasana), Yoga Teddy Bear with the Rabbit character set against an intricate eight-sided Arabic tile pattern in Eight-Angle Pose (Astavakrasana), and hilarious crows performing a variety of antics on telephone wires in Side Crow (Parsva Bakasana). Both a playful sense of humor and serious details concerning yoga postures are found here.
Whether readers use this book as a reference for yoga flows and Sanskrit names, or as a place to color and relax, it is sure to delight. Author / illustrator K. M. Copham modified and edited the 2-page spreads from the popular Yoga Teddy Bear rainbow series of coloring books created between 2012 - 2016, and added 20 new poses, settings and characters to culminate in a stunning compilation of work spanning four years of effort.
