This is a finale giveaway in our 10-Week Kids Yoga Resources Reviews and Giveaways.
I started writing the Kids Yoga Stories in 2005 after taking yoga teacher training. I was inspired to bring the benefits of yoga to children through children’s books. I will never forget my excitement as the yoga stories came flooding out onto the paper. On several occasions, I woke up in the middle of the night with new ideas and filled notebooks with yoga sequences and book ideas. You know that feeling, right?!
My passion came from years of teaching in international schools, my love of children’s books, my travel experiences, my training in environmental education, and the desire to bring the health benefits of yoga to children everywhere. It wasn’t until I gave birth to our daughter in 2011 that the need to publish the books became apparent. Thus, the Kids Yoga Stories journey began in earnest.
Here we are, almost two years after I decided to publish the yoga stories. Kids Yoga Stories has grown beyond my wildest dreams, especially for a “naptime business.” It is all because of YOU that I am inspired to keep going and pursue my passion. Not a day goes by without a message from someone somewhere around the world, sharing stories of children enjoying moving while reading, demonstrating that reading can be good for our minds AND bodies.
To thank you for your words of encouragement, your edit suggestions, your introductions to amazing people, and your book purchases, it will be my pleasure to send the winner of this contest ten Kids Yoga Stories books of his or her choice. The winner can mix and match the Kids Yoga Stories books to make any combination that works for him or her.
Some examples of the ten-book choice of Kids Yoga Stories:
- Set of 10 Sophia’s Jungle Adventure for your Rainforest classroom unit
- 2 sets of 5 books for your children to have their own copies to explore and act out with their friends
- 10 different books to add to your kids yoga book collection if you’re a Kids Yoga Teacher
- A mix of books for your grandchildren to share your love of yoga
- 10 Good Night, Animal World books for all the toddlers and preschoolers in your life to help them sleep better
- 1 The ABC’s of Australian Animals to read aloud to the class and 9 Luke’s A to Z of Australian Animals coloring books for your students
- 10 Anna and her Rainbow-Colored Yoga Mats for your Special Education Teachers in your school district
- 10 books for your rainforest, beach, or alphabet-themed birthday party
- Set of Spanish yoga books and coloring books for your Spanish-language classroom
The contest will run through the holidays, and the winner will be chosen on January 8th, 2014 (extended). Start the year by spreading the joy of movement and story to the little people in your life.

I always love the relaxation from yoga as well as the good it does for my body.
yoga gives me peace. It also connects me to my students when we do it together.
Benefit: My son loves it because it’s fun and I love it because he’s enjoying it (quality time and healthy activity, great!) 🙂
Yoga helps my kids focus better.
I love practicing and teaching Yoga for kids. We have a lot of fun together, creating our own Yoga stories.
I like the time for my body and mind to relax.
Yoga has given me the ability to feel negative emotions start and to stop them before they get out of hand. (Although I still need some practice!)
Relaxation and a feeling of peace
My 10 year old special needs son and I both practice Yoga. I enjoy trying Yoga from a different perspective, a Child’s Perspective. It’s beneficial both ways, as he learns a lot from my practice!
I teach kids yoga and teaching them through stories is the best way I’ve found to keep them engaged for he entire class.
Yoga brings me calm and peace.
There’s nothing more wonderful than happy and peaceful children! When I make kids smile, or giggle, or laugh I feel blessed… And teaching kids yoga is a lovely way to feel this experience!
I would love yoga to bring my us a chance to relax and unwind together while moving our bodies!
I just came across your books and I am sure my kiddos and their friends would love these 🙂
I posted too soon…. The kids are toddlers so we are just getting started in a yoga practice for them and they love how fun it is
Yoga helps me to relax so that I can sleep more soundly.
Yoga has allowed me to believe in myself, and to love and accept who I am.
I would like Yoga to give my mind some peace and add some calmness to my hectic life.
Wow what a fantastic giveaway – thanks for creating these beautiful resources! I would love yoga to bring some peacefulness to our family life, as we struggle with rushing and just “being”. 🙂
What a great giveaway! We absolutely love Kid Yoga Stories! It is fun, entertaining and also a very healthy way for children to maintain fit.
Great giveaway! These books would be an awesome addition to our library =)
Yoga keeps me active.
I used to do Yoga regularly and I was in the best shape of my life. I love that you get toned but it’s easy on the joints!
Yoga has eased my anxiety and helped me cope better with changes after an accident.
Benefit: Pure happiness! I love sharing yoga with my young students with special needs!
I love your giveaway entry options. Yoga gives me joy, especially teaching yoga. I love to see people relax and get to know their bodies. When I practice I love feeling my body and noticing new things about myself physically and emotionally.
Yoga helped me become more flexible and gives me a way to find peace within myself
I like how yoga helps me focus and relax!
I just started practicing yoga, but I love how energized it makes me feel. I also love building up my strength from it & being able to hold more difficult poses.
one benefit that i would like yoga to bring to my life is the ability to calm and relax me.
Yoga centers me and prepares me for the rest of the day
After a tumultuous childhood and a less than glamorous start to my early 20’s, I have had a lot of issues with anxiety in the past, both recent and distant. However, I am determined to not use prescription medications. Yoga (and other forms of exercise) is an absolute must for me to maintain my peace of mind!
I love that yoga helps to quiet my mind and gives me focus!
Yoga brings quiet, mindful time into mine and my family’s life. It helps my husband recenter himself after a tough day or week at work.
Yoga makes me relax.
Yoga helps me fine me and brings my children to a place where they can hear their own hearts, breaths and movements. What a great giveaway Giselle!
I love yoga and teaching yoga to students. I have an after school Yoga Club that I lead at my school. My students and their parents love the overall benefits.
Yoga is A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I’ve been teaching children’s yoga for the past 6 years and it’s so special. The kids are full of enthusiasm and always eager to show me the latest yoga pose they’ve been working on. I love how they enhance the classroom experience with great ideas of their own that I always incorporate in class.
For me, the most wonderful thing yoga brings is a reminder to slow down, listen and tune into, and be good to my body. We busy moms don’t always pay attention to what’s going on with our bodies, but it’s so important
Yoga helps me in every aspects of my life! helps me realease physical and psychological tension. Keeps me calm and centered 🙂 🙂
My students love yoga because they have lots of fun and learn how to stay calm in difficult ocasions
Love that it gets the kids up and moving plus makes them more flexible.
My grand daughter was a micro premie ~ this would be wonderful for her ~ she has to exercise every day ~ it’s important to her growth & moving ability ♥
