Would you like to do something easy and fun？Would you like to feel good without feeling worn out（疲乏）by strenuous（紧张的）exercise？Would you—boys or girls—like to be better at your favorite sport？Try yoga（瑜珈功）！
Yoga is a way to exercise by combining（结合）breathing techniques（呼吸技巧）with stretches（伸展）and poses（摆好姿势）that relax the body．Some poses are called lotus，mountain，tree，warrior（勇士），dog，dancer，and cat．
In I can't Believe It's Yoga for Kids！you can learn how to do yoga alone， with a friend，or even in group games．
Yoga can also make your favorite sport more fun．The specific stretches limber you up（热身）and make the sport feel easier to do．The book includes stretches for running，swimming，surfing（冲浪），biking，skate- boarding（滑板），basketball，baseball，soccer，gymnastics（体操），and wrestling（摔跤）．
Yoga for Kids！also gives you“recipes（诀窍）”for studying stress（重压），relaxing before sleep， waking up in the morning，and centering your concentration（注意力）before a test．
How does yoga do all these good things foryou？ Breathing deeply and slowly keeps you from getting winded（喘不出气来）during playtime or sports and helps you think more clearly while you're at rest．While you're having fun，yoga gives you more energy and makes your body feel strong and rested．Your mind doesn't feel as stressed．If you're working on feeling good，you'll start wanting to avoid（避免） things that make you feeltired：like sitting around，or overeating out of boredom（厌烦）or stress．
There are other good benefits（好处）to yoga，too．It reduces the risk of injury（受伤），stretches and tones your muscles，and gives you strength and flexibility（灵活性）．It also improves your balance and coordination（协调性），and gives you better posture．And what may be most important of all，is that it teaches you how to set up good patterns for handling stress while you are stillyoung．
