Dinosaur Yoga

Bend your scaly knees, raise your talons into the air, and learn yoga alongside your favorite dinosaurs   “Shhh—listen! There are dinosaurs nearby! Today when they don’t get their way, they won’t stomp on each other’s toes. Instead, these dinos will take a break and try a yoga pose.”   What kid hasn’t pretended to be a roaring, stomping dinosaur? Dinosaur Yoga channels that imaginative play into a lesson with lifelong benefits.   The latest picture book from Good Night Yoga author Mariam Gates, Dinosaur Yoga combines two things that children love for a fun and educational romp through prehistory. Kids are encouraged to follow along as triceratops, pterodactyls, tyrannosaurs, and many other dinosaurs set aside their differences and engage in a lively yoga session. Featuring a parents’ guide to the depicted postures and a glossary of dinosaurs, this is a book for young readers who like to get up, move, and imitate their favorite thunder lizards.   As the creator of the celebrated Kid Power Yoga, Gates knows that teaching children yoga sets them up for better habits of flexibility, fitness, and self-soothing. With Dinosaur Yoga, kids can stomp, stretch, and snort their way to skills that will serve them for a lifetime.
