Yoga bug

- Reading
- Explore the poses together at an unhurried pace, using the parents’ guide for context. Let the child choose whether to join in, pause or simply watch.
- Themes
- Yoga as playful movement: Children are guided through ten yoga poses named after insects, with movement described through playful imagery. The book frames yoga as an imaginative activity for young children and associates it with body acceptance, attention and self-soothing.
- Worth knowing
- Yoga is presented as beneficial, including for self-soothing when distressed. Adults may want to treat these as aims of the activity rather than guaranteed results for every child.
