Mindful moves Kid-friendly yoga and peaceful activities for a happy, healthy you

Nicole Cardoza

Book - 2021

"Mindfulness is proven to boost children's physical, mental, and socio-emotional development, but establishing the practice requires making it a part of daily life. With delightful illustrations and kid-friendly language, Mindful Moves introduces kids to simple mindfulness activities that are fun, easy to remember, and available for kids to turn to any time the need arises, no matter where they are. Check Your Inner Weather encourages children to tune into how they feel in the moment and accept their feelings without judgement. Pose like a Superhero helps fill kids with inner strength and confidence, while Breathe like a Walrus helps them channel frustration or anger through breath and facial relaxation. Each of the meditation, mi...ndfulness, yoga, and movement activities is designed to help kids stay calm, be present, and feel focused and happy. Whether it's before a busy day at school, in the backseat of the car, during a test, or heading off to bed, this is a guide kids can refer to again and again!" -- Amazon.com.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Cardoza, the founder of a national nonprofit aiming to help educators integrate yoga into the school day, offers a practical guide for young readers to get in touch with their emotions and become more attentive toward their physical responses. After defining mindfulness (it's "about noticing what's happening--right here, right now") and explaining how it might assist (it "helps us explore how we feel"), Cardoza offers forms of practice. These include yoga poses, breathing exercises, and numbered sequential activities designed to emphasize increased awareness of sensory elements. Boldly colored illustrations featuring anthropomorphic animals and humans with varying skin tones, hair textures, and abilities help readers envision the actions Cardoza prescribes. A comprehensible and user-friendly entry point into yoga and mindfulness. Ages 5--7. (Mar.)
