New children’s book, “Yoga & Me” by Jeremy A. Gray is released, an engaging, delightful guide that teaches yoga poses, breathing techniques, and positive affirmations to kids
“Yoga & Me (Mind, Body, and Spirit: A Child’s Guide to Yoga)” by Jeremy A. Gray has been released worldwide. This colorful, 25-page children’s book uses fun illustrations and playful language to teach young people about the transformative power of self-control, calmness, kindness, and empathy through breathing exercises, beginner yoga poses, and enriching affirmations. These practices are connective and potentially life-changing, teaching kids how to navigate their emotions, accept differences, and love themselves!
Inspired by his experiences as a yoga practitioner and his work as an Alabama State Representative, Gray presents an important message of physical and mental stability that directly impacts the wellbeing of young people of all backgrounds. These lessons can help children address stress, anxiety, bullying, conflict resolution, and beyond. Through the practice of yoga, kids learn principles of self-control, gain confidence, and start down a path of self-improvement that sets the stage for future success.
Gray has seen the benefits of youth yoga teaching in his own community, playing a pivotal role in lifting a 28-year yoga ban in Alabama K-12 schools, and wrote this wonderful book to share his message with a broader audience. While the book is geared toward children, the exercises and affirmations are beneficial for people of all ages. It’s great for parents, teachers, and caregivers with no yoga experience, and also serves as a helpful tool for yoga enthusiasts and instructors to get kids involved.
This unique book is playful and powerful, showing kids that yoga is both a fun and functional way to get in touch with their minds and bodies, develop resilience, and start building the self-mastery that will serve them throughout their lives.
Yoga & Me (ISBN: 9781960142061) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Barnes and Noble and Amazon. The hardcover retails for $21.99, and the ebook retails for $9.99. Interviews and review copies are available upon request.
