Global Little Yogis

Barkha Sharma has a unique gift to connect with young readers through her writing. In her debut book Global Little Yogis, she has playfully described and beautifully illustrated 30 asanas with the aim of igniting a spark in every child to embrace yoga. Striking a great balance between fun and learning, this book also draws from mythology as well as classical music traditions from around the world. It highlights the importance of yoga and the values of harmony of the mind, body and soul, the inside and the outside, the self and its surroundings. Each asana, with its own set of unique meditations, breathing exercises and prayers, has been thoughtfully paired with knowledge about specific spirit animals, flowers and trees. Children can become little yogis by learning how to balance all the five tattvas (elements of nature) and attaining not only an equilibrium in life, but also the strength and skills to achieve their dreams and become strong leaders in a brighter, loving and peaceful world. Barkha has imbued her professional and creative pursuits with her own spiritual beliefs to create a confluence of art and yoga. The primary goal is to help kids flourish by inculcating a sense of yogic discipline and artistic creativity, while being one with nature. Barkha�s book is inspired by the philosophy of �Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam� (the world is one family) from the Maha Upanishad. The adage conceptualizes a world without boundaries where beauty, love, light and secrets of selfactualization are unlocked through the ancient tool of yoga and a balanced approach to happiness. This is a timeless book for people across different countries and cultures. It offers a unique opportunity for parents to bond with their beloved kids over yoga and help impart a strong value system to future generations. Barkha aims to equip parents and children to live harmoniously and with self-reliance and resilience. Discover the divine grace and learn how to imbibe inner strength.
