PARKER PIG GOES TO YOGA
“Parker Pig Goes to Yoga” is a children’s yoga book aimed at teaching mindfulness and yoga all while having fun doing animal yoga poses.
A few of benefits of kids yoga include increasing strength, flexibility, focus, concentration, confidence and giving children the tools to calm their bodies. Through breath and posture, the children are guided through fun animal yoga poses while being told an inspiring story of a Pig who didn’t think she could do Yoga.
Parker overcomes her own fears and doubts, and finds inner peace and calm. Parker is representative of anyone who thinks they can’t do yoga, and this adorable story will leave children not only with a new knowledge of animal poses and sounds, but with a confidence and strength to do them! Namaste!

What a sweet book to encourage children to do Yoga! The sequence presented is quite dynamic, which is ideal for children. As a Yoga teacher myself, I would recommend this book to parents and teachers. The story takes away the false preconception that Yoga is only for certain people, and to make the execution of the postures more fun.
~ Kerstin Vollbrecht, Programación Neuro- lingüística, Masoterapia, Hatha Yoga, Digitopuntura
“This is an amazing book for teaching children yoga, and as a pediatric occupational therapist I have enjoyed using this with my patients and they have all loved it! I would highly recommend it.”
~ Amazon Review
“Parker Pig Goes to Yoga is a wonderful book with a great storyline which allows children to step out of their comfort zone, use their gross motor skills and learn about spacial awareness. By reading the book and doing yoga, your children will gain the important lifelong skill of calming their bodies down. As the yoga instructor at our nursery school, Stacey is not only exceptional with the children, but they love going home and practicing their animal yoga poses while reading Parker Pig Goes to Yoga with their parents.”
