Kindness Lizandra Deister

"Miau" is the yogi cat that guides you through out the whole story and opens up everyone's creativity! This story illustrates some examples of kind gestures so that children can understand not only the meaning of the word but also become more aware of their own ability to be kind while moving through different yoga poses and breathing mindfully. The book is designed to be read by an adult (parents, educators, teachers, etc) to a child or group of children while everyone moves through different yoga poses that come up in the story. The illustrations feature with the main character "Miau" helps to guide in each position. This book integrates not only yoga poses but also breathing practices and a short meditation at the end. You will also find recommended activities for afterwards so that your yoga moment can be extended and deepen. Children as young as 4 years old can start practicing yoga and become more aware of their body! The older they are, the easier it will be for them to experience the poses as well as their breathing. They will also be able to deepen the discussion and understanding of the subjects or themes involved.
