Creative Yoga Games for Kids

Created by Edna Reinhardt in Castlemaine, Victoria, here are 48 beautifully designed cards and a 28-page booklet of fun and educational yoga games and techniques especially for kids.

Education through enjoyment is at the heart of this accessible and inspiring card set. The cards are divided into eight sequences of yoga postures with easy to follow instructions. Children will love the the challenges inherent in each game or exercise. A great way to build self-esteem and a healthy lifestyle for children of all ages.

The activities described in this program enhance creativity and problem solving skills. When children absorb themselves in creativity, self-consciousness is diminished. Edna Reinhardt

Caring...and other highwire acts

Symbols cardsThere are hundreds of thousands of people across Australia who care for someone with a mental illness. caring is a delicate balancing actr like no other.

But how many of us really know the carers' stories?

Caring...and other highwire acts gives carers in the Loddon Mallee region of Victoria, Australia, a voice; a chance to tell their stories honestly and anonymously. While the stories in this book are drawn from one region, they are also the stories of many families from many places.

The power of silenced stories in people's lives and the value of sharing those stories has been well-documented by narrative therapists. To put it simply, the stories we share can reshape and add meaning to our lives. John Holton
