The Acting Out Yoga Series: Harvir in the Amazon provides activities for teachers, parents, and instructors to help guide children through a fantastical fairytale story while facilitating their ability to quickly learn yoga asanas (poses). The colorful illustrations also provide the perfect backdrop to engage children in the story, inspire creativity, encourage reading, and teach about cultures in different parts of the world. Each book also teaches life lessons about friendship, forgiveness, and trust and stresses the importance of mindfulness. In this story, Harvir must rescue the famous dancer, Elsa, after she is snatched from her village by an evil dragon. Enlisting the help of the medicine woman, along with some surprising jungle creatures, Harvir embarks on a journey that takes him deep into the Amazon rainforest. But don’t worry, this isn’t your average damsel in distress story, as our female heroines demonstrate that true strength is about wisdom, courage, kindness, and forgiveness. The book serves as a guide to yoga for physical health and relaxation, with a story to help children learn while being drawn into an adventure. It also provides the guide (teacher, parent, instructor) with drawings and detailed information about each pose and teaching children how to do it. Included are safety tips to prevent injury. Harvir is a great activity book for kids of all ages, but particularly ages 4-7.
