Love this book as an intro to mindfulness with kiddos! ( )

I was surprised by how much I liked this book. I’m not a huge yoga fan but the poses presented seem easy and appropriate for all ages.

This seems like a great bedtime book and a great relaxation book, though there needs to be a reader for the listener to get full benefit. Independent readers can both read and do but not as well as if someone is reading aloud. This would be a great audio book; I don’t know if there is an audio edition.

I appreciate that various kids are shown in the illustrations. The pictures fit the book and the colors are interesting. The art style would not be my favorite if out of context but I like it well enough here, and I think that most kids will enjoy the illustrations.

I appreciate the included illustrated additional pages at the end that have a “The Good Night Yoga Flow” and the “Cloud Journey Visualization” instructions.

For achieving a state of calm and especially for being ready for sleep at bedtime, this book is worth a try! Recommended for children (and adults) for helping be ready for sleep and for relaxation. Great idea for a picture book! ( )

You don't have to be a yogi to love this book. This pose-by-pose bedtime story takes children through gentle yoga poses and focuses their breathing while telling the story about the world getting ready for bed. Complete with beautiful illustrations, this book can be enjoyed by the whole family. Following the story, there is a complete list of the yoga poses in sequence and a "cloud journey visualization" to help children relax and wind down before bedtime. Yoga is a great way to relax, distress, and spend some time together as a family. My family loved this book, I hope yours does too!
