Yoga for little Bears
written and Illustrated by Monica Batiste

Yoga for Little Bears supports the whole child by growing emotional intelligence in mind and body.
Emotional intelligence helps children protect themselves from bullies, soften their approach if they are a bully, and develop strong self-esteem to grow to their highest potential. 
Yoga develops strength and flexibility in mind and body, helping children adopt healthy life-long habits to support a lean and healthy body.
Yoga for Little Bears was shortlisted for the Moreton Bay Innovation awards for its unique combination of Yoga and Emotional Intelligence. Monica has worked in the health industry for over 30 years and teaches yoga with a focus on self-esteem and personal development. Her books have received positive reviews by teachers, parents and health care providers from around the world.
