Publisher's Synopsis
Parents and children will discover new ways to incorporate balance and joy into everyday life with this useful guidebook that teaches basic yoga principles the whole family can benefit from. Readers are invited to engage in yogic exercises, breathing techniques, meditation, creative expression, and wholesome nutrition, and they are introduced to complementary alternative therapies, such as homeopathy, with an emphasis on natural holistic care. These practices are applied to common health problems, both physical and emotional, such as attention deficit disorder, eczema, asthma, and anxiety, all while respecting both conventional Western and alternative medicines. Written in accessible language and coupled with instructive photographs, these basic Auyurveda guidelines are simple enough for an eight-year-old to understand, making these practices easy to communicate from parent to child. Formatted to ensure quality time between mothers and children, these practices empower parents to build a stronger family unit and lay the foundation of healthier, happier lives for their kids, whether by creating meaningful family rituals, ensuring a soothing and secure home environment, or addressing issues affecting a child's self-esteem.
