The perfect picture book for parents, carers, teachers and yoga teachers.

 It teaches relaxation techniques, which helps to self-soothe and self-regulate in our crazy world. Easy to follow instructions are perfect for an evening or afternoon time to rest, helping with sleep issues - so common with neurodiverse children. Readers will learn techniques for relaxing the body and the mind. The book is based on the Yogi Superhero Programme for children, delivered for the last few years by Anna Smithers, which combines passion for yoga and creative teaching.

Why relaxation?

Regular relaxation can have positive impact on children's concentration, behaviour and general health and well-being (Margolis, 1990). Good Childhood Report from 2019 states that almost a quarter of a million UK children are 'unhappy'. The report says the reasons why many children aren't happy relate to things like appearance, friendships and school. There is an enormous pressure at school and at home, which leads to stress, anxiety and mental health problems. These stress hormones suppress the immune response, however, relaxation allows the immune system to recover and so function better. Children who have practiced regular relaxation have been found to be happier, more positive and better listeners (Amon and Campbell, 2008).
