Modern children feel a great amount of stress from both internal and external sources. Now more than ever, we understand that the emotional and spiritual needs of children must be addressed in order to assist them in developing mechanisms to ease their stress and anxiety, calm their bodies and minds, and achieve peace within themselves – a foundation that is critical for children to develop into exceptional, healthy adults.

Yoga Kids from Acro to Zen is a charming, beautifully illustrated book written in child-friendly rhythm and rhyme. The book introduces even the youngest children to the principles of yoga to promote flexibility, balance, and most importantly, fun! Yoga Kids from Acro to Zen showcases 27 Yoga poses and principles, one for each letter from A to Z, to inspire children and their families to spend time together in intentional movement.

In addition to the principles of Yoga, the book incorporates spiritual tools such as meditation and visualization to help provide balance among mind, body, and spirit. Research shows that this balance helps children self-soothe when faced with challenges and conflicts in life. This book was written to get kids motivated, moving, and more!
