About this ebook
Kids love yoga—and it’s great for them, so much so that the President’s Council has added the practice to the fitness activities in the annual President’s Challenge. For parents and caregivers looking for a fun and effective new routine for bedtime, innovative educator Mariam Gates presents Good Night Yoga, a playful yet wholly practical book for preparing for sleep.
This beautifully illustrated, full-color book tells the story of the natural world as it closes down for the night, while teaching children a simple flow of yoga postures inspired by their favorite characters from nature. Moving from “Sun Breath” to “Cloud Gathering” to “Ladybug & Butterfly” and more, readers learn techniques for self-soothing, relaxing the body and mind, focusing attention, and other skills that will support restful sleep and improve overall confidence and well-being.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5lovely. I love it. thanks. Im going to try it with mykids
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was surprised by how much I liked this book. I’m not a huge yoga fan but the poses presented seem easy and appropriate for all ages.This seems like a great bedtime book and a great relaxation book, though there needs to be a reader for the listener to get full benefit. Independent readers can both read and do but not as well as if someone is reading aloud. This would be a great audio book; I don’t know if there is an audio edition.I appreciate that various kids are shown in the illustrations. The pictures fit the book and the colors are interesting. The art style would not be my favorite if out of context but I like it well enough here, and I think that most kids will enjoy the illustrations.I appreciate the included illustrated additional pages at the end that have a “The Good Night Yoga Flow” and the “Cloud Journey Visualization” instructions.For achieving a state of calm and especially for being ready for sleep at bedtime, this book is worth a try! Recommended for children (and adults) for helping be ready for sleep and for relaxation. Great idea for a picture book!
