Adventures of Mom and Daughter Yoga

By Rochelle Katzman

Through yoga postures, a mom and daughter team travels the world. They meet a prince and princess, see a leprechaun, visit Tuscany, the South of France, and still make it home for Thanksgiving.

We all want our children to have tools to survive and get ahead in this world. What better time to start than when they are young, teaching them values and giving them experiences that will carry them through life? Adventures of Mom and Daughter Yoga provides a very fun way for a parent and child to stay connected, and a way to start your child on a meditative path from a very young age. This is the type of experience that will give your child a good foundation to relate to the Inner Teacher and a good resource to go to whenever he or she needs guidance. I am very proud of the work Rochelle has done.

In [Adventures of] Mom and Daughter Yoga, Rochelle Katzman has created a program for mothers and daughters to experience a more enriched, joyful relationship with each other and gain all the wonderful benefits of yoga at the same time. With Rochelles book and cards in hand, healthy fun and deeper connections between moms and daughters abound!

As a mom and a full time massage therapist, it is important for me to take care of my own wellness. Each week, my daughter and I read one chapter and do the yoga postures from Adventures of Mom and Daughter Yoga and play the yoga cards game, Adventure of Mom and Daughter Yoga Cards. The book and yoga cards game are wonderful. It has given me time to relax and spend quality time alone with my daughter.

Rochelle Katzman

Hi, I’m Rochelle. I love yoga, and I love spending time with my mom! I am a certified yoga, prenatal yoga and children’s yoga instructor. I studied under the inspirational Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa and Shakta Kaur Khalsa, who is the founder of the Radiant Child Yoga program. When I started teaching a mom and daughter yoga class, I wanted to design a yoga set for moms and daughters to do together that would be fun. So each week I wrote a story about a mom and daughter going on an adventure together that included yoga postures. One day when I was driving—that’s where I do my best thinking—I came up with the idea to put all of my stories into a book. This way not only could I help moms and daughters in my classes be healthy and get closer, but I could help moms and daughters everywhere. Another day when I was driving—again where my best thinking takes place—I came up with the idea to create a mom and daughter yoga card game and matching yoga mats. Then I had another creative moment and decided matching bracelets would be adorable. I then created My Mom’s Yoga, Inc., which is where you can find me. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. I would love to hear from you and see how this book affected your life. Please visit me at www. MyMomsYoga.com.

♥ Dedication ♥

This book is dedicated to my best friend, Karen

Block Katzman, my beautiful mom.

There are yoga books that use professional models photographed in yoga postures by the ocean or in other breathtaking locations. I wanted to present real moms and daughters in real homes doing yoga. This book was created to show all moms and daughters everywhere, no matter how hectic their lives are, that they can also do yoga and enjoy quality time together.

The moms and daughters photographed in this book are my students, friends, and good neighbors. I loved watching them grow together through my yoga program giving them an enriched, joyful experience. I hope you enjoy the photos too!
