A little yoga goes a long way
Rebecca Whitford’s daughter, Scarlett was diagnosed with liver cancer when she was 14 months old. By four years old, Scarlett was physically weakened by her treatment but wanted to copy her mother as she did her yoga practice.
Rebecca put together a booklet which eventually became Little Yoga
The book, written by Rebecca Whitford, a yoga practitioner and mother of three from Surrey, is undoubtedly charming. Beautifully simple, with bold illustrations, it’s a captivating introduction to some of the animal poses of yoga; the butterfly, the bird, the dog and the monkey.
At the back are photographs of two little girls, demonstrating the postures. One of them, pretty, dark-eyed and dressed in bright pink, is Scarlett, Whitford’s own daughter.
