About the Author
Laurie Jordan took her first yoga class at the tender age of tenand promptly got kicked out for laughing at the names of the poses. Who would have thought that all these years later, she would make a career out of teaching yoga? Laurie is now a social worker turned yoga teacher and children s book author. And while Laurie enjoys working with folks of all ages, she has a soft spot for kids, knowing that good habits start young. After teaching yoga to thousands of kids and training hundreds of instructors in the specialty of kids yoga, Laurie decided to write Yawning Yoga to help families conquer bedtime jitters and soothe the restless child. Today, Laurie teaches yoga throughout New York and Connecticut. And she still giggles every time she says Down Dog.
