This parent-teacher guide features the ancient and powerful art of storytelling to illustrate the yogic philosophy in finding both personal and world peace. Combining 26 stories drawn from varied faiths and cultures—African, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Native American, and Sufi—with the rewarding practice of yoga, this handbook provides a foundation for expanding children’s listening, literacy, and communication skills, as well as their physical fitness and self-confidence, resulting from the execution of the yoga moves themselves. A set of ready-made lesson plans urges a self-reflective practice for children and provides suggestions for follow-up activities, meditation, and relaxation in addition to the incorporation of the yoga poses with the retelling of the stories. A series of photographs facilitates an understanding of each yoga move.
