NaMOOste Yoga for Kids 

Author Marlee Kostiner never fails to get kids giggling as she reads all the ways animals say “Namaste” with their animal sounds (the cow says naMOOste, the chick says namaSQUEEK). After an engaging reading, Marlee guides the kids through yoga poses they learned in the book, ending with a relaxing moment of silence (yes, the kids are quiet!). NaMOOste features 13 beautiful watercolour animals practising authentic yoga poses, and shows young readers ways to care for their bodies and minds. For kids ages 3–9.
