I’m a Growing Yogi is a playful, rhyming story that incorporates poses, movement, breathing practices and relaxation that can be enjoyed by children in their early years (and the young at heart!)

The readers (you and your kids!) get to be the main characters and see what it feels like to be a dog, plane, tree, bee, butterfly and star through mindful movement.

Read the words together or follow along with the pictures and let your bodies and minds explore!

You’ll affirm your way through each pose, expressing feelings such as strength, openness, happiness and delight.

At the beginning of the story, your kids are ‘Little Yogis’. By the end of their practice, they can proudly call themselves ‘Growing Yogis’!

What People Are Saying About the Book

We use your book in the classroom on a regular basis. I love that there is a song/tune tied to the book. This helps to relax the children and help them focus. They love the poses and that you have used real children for the pictures!

So original, so fun, so imaginative, so playful and so good for your body and mind.

The boys love it and we read the book often.

Especially liked that you included authentic photos of happy children of all ethnicities.

[My Granddaughter] takes her book for show and tell all of the time to school and does it every night before she goes to bed.

Our educators love the new book and they are starting to implement the moves with the children.

Girl, I have read your book six different times tonight. Two of them to my daughter through video chat.
