Description

This book shows children a range of simple yoga poses and mindfulness techniques through a gentle narrative. A sluggish bear emerges from hibernation in a forest and seeks a way to energize, think clearly, stay calm, be positive, and finally relax before bedtime. As she goes about her day, she meets a variety of forest animals that show him how to achieve these states of mind through simple yoga poses, which are demonstrated in the artwork by the animals and explained in the text by a yoga expert.

Praise for Yoga Animals in the Forest

“Each two-page spread has an inset that says, 'Can You Do It, Too?' with directions for kids for emulating the moves. Kids will enjoy the bear’s story and following along with the different poses.”
-- Imagination Soup, “The Latest Nonfiction Picture Books, Fall 2020”

"I love the way each pose is broken down into steps with a model to go along with it. This book is perfect and educators who are incorporating yoga practice into the classroom or home."
-- Big Books for Little Hands

“The book works both as a story and as an instructional manual for the mind-body connection sought in yoga. … A sweet introduction to yoga and self-care for adults to use with the very young."
-- Kirkus Reviews
