Help children to master emotional self-regulation and improve wellbeing with these activities. Based on traditional yoga breath and mindfulness exercises, each activity is adaptable for a range of abilities and they are also ideal for working with children with autism and other special needs.

Including activities such as lion breathing, bubble breathing, and sensory yoga games, children will love to learn self-regulatory techniques they can carry with them for life.

The structure of Mindful Little Yogis makes it an effortless and adaptable book that can easily be picked up and put down ... The author is aware that each child is unique, which is reflected in the wide variety of practices, strategies and techniques illustrated throughout. Not only excellent for those working with all children and young people, this book is great for helping parents and carers to explore a variety of techniques to calm, regulate and soothe their child (and themselves).-- "NASEN Connect"
Mindful Little Yogis is an excellent, user-friendly book full of fun, practical ideas for children and young adults with special needs. As a movement therapist I particularly enjoyed the yoga postures and the Lazy Eight Breathing technique. The STAR model that divides each chapter is a very clever idea, reminding readers to be mindful throughout.
A must-have book for anyone supporting individuals or groups.--Cathy Underwood, Yoga and Inclusive Movement Therapist, SYT Yoga Alliance Professionals UK
