Learn yoga, breathing exercises, and mindfulness through the rainbow of the chakras! "When I need to know how I am feeling, I can close my eyes and breathe". In an increasingly stressful world, it is more important than ever to help kids establish helpful tools to manage it. In this colorful meditation written by experts on healthy living, young readers will learn yoga poses, breathing exercises, and more through the colorful rainbow inside them: the chakras. With a playful and imaginative approach, children can find energy and better understand their feelings by focusing within.
