Written by yoga instructor Emily Sharratt and featuring incredible artwork from artist Jade Mosinski, alongside step-by-step instructions for each pose, this is an essential manual and celebration of yoga. As every yoga practitioner knows, many of the key asanas (or poses) and breath exercises are inspired by the animal kingdom. From camels to cobras, and from lizards to lions, so many animals have loaned their characteristics and shape as well as their name to the practice of yoga. Whether you're channelling the flamboyance of a peacock or the pride and power of an eagle, you are part of an old and beautiful tradition, and one that is practised all over the world. The format of the book follows the template of a full, well-rounded yoga session, incorporating stretching, strengthening, energizing and calming elements, while drawing on a number of different yoga styles, from vinyasa flows to more static Yin poses.Yoga Animals is a beautiful collection of poses based in the natural world, which will show you how to embrace this within each yoga session.

With 30 nature-inspired activities to do on your doorstep, help your little one feel grounded, find calm, improve focus, practice loving-kindness and relax. Whimsical full-colour illustrations on both sides of the cards break down each practice into easy-to-follow steps. Tips on individual cards, plus an 8-page instructional booklet, show modifications that make these activities inclusive for children of all abilities.

This boxed card deck brings together 30 exercises to help your little one recognise and communicate their feelings. Each card features an engaging animal character on the front of the card, and an activity on the reverse, providing reassurance and healthy coping strategies to promote mental well-being. A booklet is also included to help parents and caregivers make the most the most of the cards.
