Learn yoga, breathing exercises, and mindfulness through the rainbow of the chakras!
When I need to know how I am feeling, I can close my eyes and breathe.
In an increasingly stressful world, it is more important than ever to help kids establish helpful tools to manage it. In this colorful meditation written by experts on healthy living, young readers will learn yoga poses, breathing exercises, and more through the colorful rainbow inside them: the chakras. With a playful and imaginative approach, children can find energy and better understand their feelings by focusing within. With accessible information about the history of yoga and ayurveda, A Rainbow Inside My Body reveals how when the mind, body, and spirit are balanced, we can make better decisions and respond to stress in a peaceful way.

"With exquisite illustrations and elegant, grounding prose, A Rainbow Inside My Body is the perfect antidote to our frenetic world." —I.W. Gregorio, award-winning author of This is My Brain in Love
"Orange like a mango, yellow like a lemon, green like an avocado—an exploration of chakras as an invitation to find the strength and ease of each color of the rainbow we all contain." —Danielle Davis, author of To Make
"A must for any child young or old." —Emily Fernandez, author of Pliny and Other Problems
"Kottaras and Swaminathan provide an accesible and thorough guide for children not only to name their emotions, but to self regulate . . . Highly recommended for anyone who works with or cares for children!" —Akilah Brown, storyteller and professor of children's literature and creative writing
"An excellent presentation for children on a topic as complex as chakras!" —Radha Janardhan; writer, translator, and professor
