Reach for this book when you need a gentle, physical transition to help your toddler wind down or redirect their energy after a high-intensity play session.

It transforms the practice of yoga into a playful game of pretend, making it accessible for even the most energetic toddlers who aren't quite ready for traditional meditation. The book introduces basic yoga poses through vibrant illustrations of children and their animal counterparts, such as a cat stretching or a frog hopping.
