Our newest offering from the bestselling creators of _Good Night Yoga_ teaches kids fun and easy breathing practices based on the proven methods of yoga and mindfulness meditation.

Sample practices:

When something makes you mad or even feels unfair,  
try this **counting breath** and you'll feel calmer there.

_Sit up and let your spine grow tall._  
_Take a deep breath in, counting silently 1 . . . 2 . . . 3._  
_Then let your breath out slowly, counting 1 . . . 2 . . . 3._

When you go somewhere you've never been and you aren't sure what to do,  
you can use a **dandelion breath** to feel more comfortable trying something new.

_Sit up and let your spine grow tall._  
_Put one hand on your chest._  
_Place your other hand on your belly._  
_Take slow deep breaths and feel your chest and your belly move up and down as the air goes in and out of your body._

At night when it's hard to fall asleep because your mind is busy and your body feels tight,  
try **balloon breath** to get relaxed and ready for a good night.

_Lie down on your back and let your hands rest by your sides, palms up._  
_Inhale through your nose and imagine filling your body with breath like a big balloon._  
_Exhale and blow the air out through your mouth._  
_What color is your balloon?_
