A Child's Journey into Yoga: Based on the Core Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Based on the foundational teachings of yoga, the Sutras of Patanjali, A Child's Journey into Yoga is a lesson-filled story about the aspects of yoga beyond exercise. The story follows the life of a girl (and some of her friends) from elementary school into early adulthood. This book was designed to inspire young yogis to stay the course on their inward journey toward self-knowledge and inner peace.

This book is many things:

• a full-color, 23-chapter story book
• a coming-of-age story
• a teaching book with activities
• a reference for yoga principles
• a thought-provoking collection of situations for children and adults.

A Child's Journey into Yoga contains insightful and practical teachings, including:

• anxiety and anger management
• meditation, concentration and self-awareness
• karma, charity and selfless love
• confidence, patience and perseverance
• embracing rather than excluding different cultures
• healthy and mindful lifestyle choices
• simple explanations of key yoga concepts and Sanskrit terms
