Note for Teachers from Walk like a Bear, Stand Like a Tree, Run Like the Wind by Carol Bassett

Whether your classroom is full of overactive children or lethargic ones, "Walk Like a Bear" is just what you need! You’ll find a variety of fun yoga poses inside the book that help children relax, center themselves, breathe more fully, and focus on learning. Each pose has a name that makes it easy for kids to visualize and emulate it, such as rainbow pose, butterfly pose, boat pose, shark pose, and much more. And, teachers love doing yoga, too! Taking just 10 minutes in the morning to do a few yoga poses with your class will make learning easier and the classroom environment more pleasant for everyone. Yoga is safe, simple, and ideal for all ages and ability levels, and is proven to promote better health and relaxation.

"I love this activity guide for kids! I found the instructions to be easy to read. This book was fun and made me want to stop what I was doing to move my body and breathe. . . . A wonderful resource!"
