What better present could someone give a child than the opportunity, through play, to develop a life-lasting awareness of good relaxed posture, stillness & inner well-being? This is the first picture book of its kind, inspiring children through clear text & pictures to assume beginning yoga positions using the shapes of animals as guides. They become absorbed by the posture, discover stillness in the body & mind, extend the breath & enjoy the power & flexibility of their bodies.

Gives very real health benefits for young children with breathing difficulties, hyperactivity & minor postural disorders. Endorsed by the Yoga for Health Foundation.
