Can children learn yoga through imagination and play?

Do You Want to Try? Yoga for Kids, written by renowned multi-style yoga expert Dr. Lyudmila Klasanova, is a delightful picture book that introduces young children to the true meaning of yoga-bringing harmony to the body, mind, and the world around us.

Join energetic young Kalsang, who dreams of talking with animals. One magical night, a wise teacher shares a special sound with him:

"Ommmm..."

With that single sound, Kalsang''s imagination comes alive. In his dreams, he meets friendly animals who each reveal the secret behind their strength, balance, courage, flexibility, and calm. One by one, they invite him to copy their movements through simple yoga poses.

"If you want to be strong and majestic like me," says the lion, "Try the Lion Pose!"

Inspired by lions, cats, butterflies, snakes, turtles, and many other animals, each pose encourages children to explore movement while developing positive character traits such as confidence, patience, focus, courage, and inner peace.

Beautiful side-by-side illustrations show both the animal and the corresponding yoga pose, making it easy and fun for even the youngest children to follow along.

Perfect for children ages 2-6, this interactive introduction to yoga helps young readers:

• Learn simple, animal-inspired yoga poses through imaginative storytelling.
• Channel natural energy into healthy movement and mindful play.
• Develop body awareness, balance, coordination, and flexibility.
• Build confidence, focus, and emotional calm through positive affirmations.
• Strengthen the connection between movement, imagination, and mindfulness.
