Bedtime stories come to life with Good Night Yoga: A Pose-by-Pose Bedtime Story, a charmingly illustrated book that tells the story of the earth settling down for the night while showing kids simple, relaxing poses. Author Mariam Gates, creator of the acclaimed Kid Power Yoga program, teaches children to calm their bodies and minds while moving from Ladybug (a squat) to Cat (an arch).

"Innovative educator Mariam Gates has put it all into one beautifully-illustrated package - nature, nurture, diversity, relaxation, visualization, mindfulness skills - and she managed to make it all age-appropriate. Parents will end the day on a positive note, as they move through this set of yoga poses with their children. Designing the sequence of poses to relate to day's end in the natural world was a stroke of bedtime genius and one from which your customers will benefit. Visually appealing, the book also presents the yoga protocol in a simple format, making it an exciting but stress free tool that both children and adults can joyfully embrace."
