Kids benefit from slow activities & guidance in learning how to relax, just as adults do. In this bright pink laminated, spiral- bound book which features a cast of cute stick figures, THE CONCEPT OF HATHA YOGA - BODY, MIND, BREATH - IS ADAPTED TO THE DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN & CHILDREN WITH MEDICAL CHALLENGES. The exercises allow children to use their IMAGINATIONS & have FUN, while benefitting from DEEP BREATHING, SLOW STRETCHING, & RELAXATION TECHNIQUES. Children are helped to develop feelings of SELF-AWARENESS, SELF-CONTROL, SELF-ESTEEM, & WELL-BEING by focusing on muscle tension & relaxation.
