There is an abundance of books that cover the subject of the eight limbs of yoga for adults, and there is a growing wealth of wonderful books for children about how to get started with yoga, many of which focus on the benefit of practicing postures (Asana, the third limb) and breathing (Pranayama, the fourth limb). This book, however, is intended for adults who spend time with children, and offers a trail guide to begin exploring the first limb of yoga for kids so that together we may all access an inner wellspring of confidence and guidance towards contentment in modern times. The eight limbs are exciting, expansive, confusing, elusive, and inspiring, so this book we will focus on exploring the Yamas. There are five Yamas or external guidelines: kindness, honesty, reciprocity, moderation and letting go. The Yamas help us figure out how we can be with others in the world so we can be our most authentic self. In "The Yamas in Pajamas" you will discover many techniques you can practice in your living room or classroom as part of your daily or morning routine. There are fun activities that make the esoteric tangible through journal prompts, guided meditations, breath exercises and easy activities for kids, families and teachers. Exploring the philosophies of the first limb of yoga, the Yamas, can access an inner wellspring of confidence and inner guidance towards contentment.
