"Scientific evidence shows that yoga improves us in a number of ways: physically on the body and breath, emotionally by enhancing self-regulation of emotion and stress, cognitively by increasing mind-body awareness/mindfulness, and spiritually through unitive/contemplative experiences that improve life meaning and purpose. It is a challenge to live a yoga lifestyle incorporating these changes, and even more of a challenge to incorporate yogic practices and principles into the adult-child relationship. This book clearly elucidates the yogic psychological/philosophical concepts and practical strategies to achieve this, thereby providing children with the life skills to excel as human beings."―Sat Bir Singh Khalsa, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School; chief editor of the International Journal of Yoga Therapy and the textbook The Principles and Practice of Yoga in Health Care
