The hugely successful Cosmic Kids YouTube channel helps children discover yoga by joining presenter Jaime on monthly yoga adventures, each one a story featuring a loveable animal character that achieves something amazing. Aimed at 4 to 8-year-olds, the Cosmic Kids yoga books offer children a chance to take the yoga more slowly than is possible in a fast-moving video, to spend more time in their favourite poses, and also to enjoy reading or listening to the story. Each book is themed around a specific area of wellbeing - in the case of Twilight, this is relaxing at bedtime and exploring the world of dreams. In this truly magical adventure we encounter Twilight the Unicorn in an enchanted night-time forest, as well as a host of other characters, incuding an owl, a mouse and the moon and stars themselves. The Cosmic Kids' mission in this adventure is to scatter starshine and bring a peaceful sleep and lovely dreams to all. The story concludes with a relaxation and some affirmations to reinforce the soothing message of the book. With bright illustrations, the books are designed to mirror the Cosmic Kids look, and to allow children to get to know a range of characters from the Cosmic Kids shows. There's also information at the back to help parents and teachers introduce children to yoga, even if they don't practise yoga themselves.

Jaime does a fantastic job. A great story with lots of fun moves. We love Cosmic Kids as a daily routine. This book won't disappoint.

I have multiple childrens' yoga certifications and have been teaching for years- and this book is just awkward. I got it for a unicorn themed kids yoga birthday party, but the graphics/images are jarring because photos of the instructor are everywhere and don't fit with the background, the poses seem disjointed and often don't make sense. Tested on two regulars and they were not engaged at all. I'm returning and will make up my own book.

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2017

This is a story and yoga all rolled into one. All children need to be read stories and have exercise, so why not let them help with the story by doing yoga poses that match what is happening.

In this Cosmic Kids story, we have Twilight the Unicorn. She had a bad dream and now doesn't want to go back to sleep. We learn that it is important to have sleep, because it helps us be strong. We also need to know that no matter what our dreams are, good or bad, that we are safe.

Thank you for the free digital ARC for me to give an honest review, Watkins Publishing and NetGalley!

Excellent for all the family..

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I love this little book. As the grandma I got this for the grandkids, but I have to say it is actually an excellent resource for the whole family.. I have kept the book at my home and, whenever the kids are here, we do yoga together, using the book. We all feel the benefits - myself included. This is a wonderful way to make yoga part of normal life for people to do at home - and starting up good practice for young people that will benefit them into the future. The whole fluffy unicorn thing is a little bit on the overly cheesy side, but that aside this is a superb book.

A welcome, well presented book, well worth a look

A good introduction to yoga for children. A nicely presented hardback book that's accessible and pitched just about right in terms of narrative and illustrations for the target age range. I'm a firm believer that yoga is very good for a lot of people and children in particular can benefit from it enormously, particularly these days where the norm is a constant flow of distractions. Easy to work through if you put the time and a little effort aside, but the benefits can be potentially be well worth it. A welcome, well presented book, well worth a look.

This has been great for my little one who loves cbeebies Waybuloo but had no way to replicate the moves shown without watching it on tv. The photos are very clear (unlike the animations of the characters on the tv show which is not connected with this book) and make it easy to follow each position. The book follows a story format which is nice as it gives context to each movement. There are DVDs in the same range which I will maybe look into purchasing.
Nice book for your little yoga lover.

'sleeptime' yoga

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2017

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This book made me and my six year old laugh... A lot!...

It is basically a very (VERY) basic story, with pictures and yoga poses. All supposed to be carried out and completed before climbing peacefully into bed and calmly going to sleep. I'm afraid our routine is much more bath, teeth, story, then bed. All carried out at a reasonable pace and very effectively. This book takes far too long to carry out before bed and to be honest caused such hilarity that nobody was going to sleep anytime soon. My daughter decided to carry on trying to do yoga after I left her in bed and she fell out of bed. A trip to hospital later she went to sleep.

She still loves this book and thinks it is a great idea although she does admit that the story is rubbish.

I won't be handing this book on to her younger sister...

A great book to read with children, and to use alongside watching the brilliant YouTube videos which accompany Cosmic Kids.

This yoga adventure would appeal to both boys and girls, but only unto the age of 9 or so...the content just doesn't 'age' well after that.

A super introduction to yoga and calming - recommended.
