  4. I Am Yoga by Susan Verde and Peter H. Reynolds
    $10.31

    An eagle soaring among the clouds or a star twinkling in the night sky . . . a camel in the desert or a boat sailing across the sea. Yoga has the power of transformation. Not only does it strengthen bodies and calm minds, but with a little imagination, it can show us that anything is possible. The word “yoga” means union. Yoga is the connection between mind and body. I Am Yoga encourages children to explore the world of yoga and make room in their hearts for the world beyond it.
