Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: Very Good. Bahia, Elsa Ilustrador. Yoga reduces stress, increases the sense of well being, and encourages mindfulness-and it can also be fun.

Written with children in mind, the instructions to stretch like a dog, roar like a lion, move knees like butterfly wings, arch like a cat, jump like a frog, and more, give kids concrete images that will help them understand the yoga poses-and the freedom to be as silly and expressive as they want. This delightful introduction to yoga will get kids excited about the practice, and give their parents and teachers a reason to move right along with them.
