 Q: Does it come with the book?
A: No, you'll need a copy of the story.
Q: How should I use this lesson plan?
A: You can do the poses before you read, as you read each page, or once you are done reading. Go slowly and repeat the poses. My favorite is to do each pose per page as you read. It becomes a moving meditation.

Move and breathe through a childhood classic. The Napping House by Don and Audrey Wood has been a favorite story in my classes for years, and with a librarian’s suggestion, I brought it to life through yoga for the first time in 2012. Now accompanied by our beautiful illustrations, we can use this yoga sequence to promote a lifelong love of learning, reading, and healthy habits.
