Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga (Yoga for Kids: Lesson Plans for the Teacher Book 1) by Janice Pratt and Lenora Degen was very cool and perfectly laid out. I personally am homeschooling my daughter and found this book to be an amazing resource for us! My daughter is very interested in seeds and gardening so having the “seed” theme made it that much more interesting to her. She loved it. Although we have not made it through the entirety of the book yet, I’ve read it and we have talked about what there is to come and we are excited. The lesson plans are laid out in a very easy to understand way. There are different activities including music, art, the obvious yoga posing and games. But my favorite was the gratitude journal (which I had to help because she doesn’t write yet) and the affirmations. So cute and so fun! Each thing is set up for a group but I found it easily adaptable for just her and I. Neither of us are huge into yoga and as we are beginners, I never felt as if we were behind or I was incapable of teaching the poses. Truly cannot wait to do our next lesson. The resources at the back of the book were very helpful to me. I am overall pleased with this book and think that while it is a great resource for homeschoolers, that it would be great in a classroom setting as well.

What an amazing and helpful guide to teach kids about yoga, healthy habits, and mindfulness! I have two kiddos, ages 8 and 12, and I will say that the author targeted this book perfectly for that audience. We absolutely loved reading through it together and learning about kindness and self-awareness. The activities in the book are perfect for all levels, and we really enjoyed doing them together. I enjoyed the author weaving the thought of plants in comparison to ourselves because sometimes I feel that’s a barrier with teaching kids self-care. When you can relate it to something they can see and understand outside of their own bodies, it helps connect the dots so to speak. I also loved the affirmations included as well! Even if this doesn’t seem like your cup of tea, I implore you to give it a go for the little ones in our life at home or work.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga is the first book in the Yoga for Kids: Lesson Plans for the Teacher series. It is a resource guide for teachers and parents that teaches children about mindfulness, healthy eating, gratitude, caring, truthfulness, compassion and peace through yoga. The book contains songs, exercises, coloring pages, games, affirmations, links to resources, and pages for teacher’s notes. I loved this book and how it combined yoga with planting seeds both literally and metaphorically. I learned a lot, including that yoga means “union” because it brings together our mind and body and that yoga is good for our minds and our bodies. My favorite chapter was entitled “Planting Seeds of Gratitude and Kindness” which contained ideas and activities for children on how to share what they are grateful for. I loved the idea of a gratitude journal that children can write what they are grateful for in and update every week. I will be telling all my teacher friends about this book so they can possibly implement the ideas into their teaching. A great resource that I highly recommend to parents and teachers!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Even though this book is 85 pages, it’s full of knowledge about planning and kid-friendly which I greatly appreciated. Honestly, it couldn’t come at a better time cause I want to peel and ween my oldest son at 9 away from tablets, YouTube, and his game or being inside all the time. But yes, he and I now both enjoy gardening together to create a better bond. Also, I love, as a Taurs, (Earth sign) grounding myself into the Earth.
To watch and experience things grow in front of your very eyes after laboring over it, you’ll fall in love with its growth and the peace of mind you get from it and your kids will enjoy the process plus never forgetting what they’ve learned with a sense of achievement under their belt. Here’s to that!

A comprehensive step by step guide for teachers about Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga. Filled with details about yoga and how it intertwines with yourself and opening the dialogue to young children. Has not only topics for discussion but activities to do as well. Correlates with gardening and uses seeds as a visual aid.

I thought this was insightful and had facts I was not aware of. I was amazed by the creativity and think this would be a great book for introducing yoga to young ones. Exceptionally done.

The photos in the book are stunning. I wish there were more. The myths and history that I learned was quite interesting. Scotland wasn’t on my list of countries places to visit but now it is. The superstitions and hidden gems was the best part. If you plan on visiting this is a great book to read before your trip.

This is a great book by authors Janice Pratt and Lenora Degen. This book has so many interesting and informative things in it, i loovvve it. Like song, fun activities for the likes, yoga positions, and lessons on the plants life cycle and how to grow them 🥰. I find that really cool for them to include. It would be a cool project to do with the kiddos.I know my little one has just gotten into trying to do yoga. While he does it we play some daily affirmations.so this book was a fantastic find. I already have a couple things that we’re going to be trying from this book and I can’t wait. I also loved all the affirmations that were given and how the authors gave you a guide on how to make your own personal gratitude journals. I’m definitely about to go get and keep a jar like the one from the 2nd chapter for me and my family tomorrow, along with making those journals. This book is good for all ages. The ebook version is great but I would highly recommend getting the physical copy so you can write in it. I look forward to seeing more from these authors. 🥰

This book is more like a travel guide to England. If you are planning your trip to England, read this in advance. It has a lot of historic information and some hidden gems, which as a regular tourist guide, you might not know about. It is backed up with a lot of historic details, myths and legends. It’s more a guide to the off beat travelers who want to explore “the lesser known places”. The book has a lot of detailed information , few of them perhaps is obsolete, but nevertheless a very good guiding book.

I loved this! I know it is aimed at children but there were some great mindful yoga ideas in here that I could use as an adult. I did some of the activities in the book with my 4 year old and whilst he might not have quite grasped the concept of what I was talking to him about he enjoyed doing the activities with me. We had quite a few peaceful and calm time throughout the day whilst doing these lessons!
This would be such a great addition to a child’s day, short activities where they really get time to be calm and think about things. The way in which the lessons are written out or clear and explained well – you could just literally grab the book and start. A really useful teaching aid!

England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming is part of The Hidden Gems Series of travel books. I have enjoyed some of the author’s fiction books so was intrigued to read something a bit different that she’d written.

This book is for you if you’re thinking of visiting England and want some ideas of what to see or do. It’s particularly geared towards US American readers. I’d recommend reading this book early on, when you’re thinking about planning your trip, to get some inspiration and tips!

I did find the structuring of this book wasn’t quite to my taste. At times it gets repetitive, with the same information presented in multiple chapters, but this could help readers who are dipping in and out rather than reading the whole thing. Reflecting the author’s interests, the book begins with a whistlestop tour of “History and Myth”, “Superstitions and Beliefs” and “Gods and Saints”. While this is interesting, I would have liked to have this section more connected with the rest of the book, perhaps with an indication of where later in the book readers could learn more about places connected with the stories told.

It’s also worth being aware that this book is not comprehensive, and that some information may be out of date. The author notes that at least one of the restaurants she reviews is now closed, and talks about the cost of a trip in 2008. I was surprised that the extensive section on renting a car and driving in England had no mention of ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone), which is important to be aware of when planning transport. So while this book is great for getting ideas and inspiration, I would look for a more comprehensive travel guide or up-to-date information online as well.

This book gets four stars from me! Reading it feels like asking a friend who has been to England a lot to give you some advice before a trip and sitting back to soak in all their stories, tips and photographs.

This is a pretty cool lesson planning book for teachers, parents, grandparents, etc that is geared towards those ages 5 to 13 years of age. It’s set up as a 6 week program but could be adapted to last longer. They are fairly simple lessons about engaging the mind, body, and spirit through growing plants, mind activating activities, and yoga poses. There are also recommended daily affirmations.

I found this book to be very informative and interesting!

Diving into this book, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Of course, as it says in the title, this is a guide to yoga and meditation for children, but I got a deeper meaning from the reading/guide. There’s an underlying teaching of mindfulness towards the world, guiding the reader (presumably a guardian) to expand a child’s view of the word and be more understanding of others in their community – rather than solely focusing on internal mindfulness. That aside, there’s an active component to the guide that would make this a fun experiment and activity for young children. I would recommend this guide for teachers or daycares, as well as for families if they would like to use this resource to help children become more mindful while also proving fun activities for them to actively participate in.

This travel guide explores the history and mythology or folklore of England, religion and photography, and food and sight-seeing. I’ve learnt about places and things such as Barter Books, the Banksy Street Art Tour, and the Wing Maze in Rutland. I’ve also learnt about booking flights, booking accommodation, and taking medication abroad. The book could be a bit repetitive at times but overall it was really interesting and insightful. I recommend this book because I learnt a lot about the country I was born and brought up in. I’ve added a lot of places to my bucket list and gathered some useful information for if I ever want to feature England in my own writing. ‘There are many times I’ve looked back on my photos and remembered a scene I had forgotten, relived a memory I had lost.’

Having read the book this author had written about England, and having just booked a family trip to Scotland, I knew I had to read this book too. As with the other book, I found this one to be detailed and descriptive. The view point offered had such a refreshing feel to it and it felt like I was looking at Scotland from a locals eyes. I learnt about so many places from this book and it has really made me want to visit it.
This author really has found their niche in terms of their writing style. For this book, I found it so easy to imagine the places being described and it has made me excited to visit some of them this summer. This was a great travel guide that I am sure I will revisit in the future.

I have lived in England all my life and I am always looking for new ways to discover more about it. This book offered the perfect opportunity to do that. It felt like a refreshing and unique perspective, all told by an author whose writing style I have really come to appreciate. The way places were described was detailed and descriptive and I could easily imagine what the author was trying to portray.
This is the first non-fiction book that I have read by this author and I know it will definitely be one that I will revisit often. It have already marked out the places I want to visit based on this authors recommendations. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone that wants a different view of how to travel round the country.

This is a fantastic resource for parents and teachers alike who may want to introduce yoga to their littles. This is very well written so that any one can understand it (there isn’t a lot of jargon used) and I really like that there are links, worksheets, and spaces for notes available. This is a great 6-week (or it could be longer) guide to introducing yoga to students. I’m also very appreciative of the fact that they give advice for using their lessons for beginners and more advanced students and younger and older students. They also advise on certain activities for smaller or larger groups. This is a really thought out and well planned lesson planning guide on yoga. Great resource!

England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming: A Guide to Hidden England is a Travel guide to hidden gems and treasures for tourists. This is my first time reading work from this author. I often like to look at different tourist guilds to plan for trips that I hope to one day take. So seeing this I had to give it a try. I long to travel through Europe starting at England. When I was reading this, I found the author had a lot of good tidbits and information to give that I found helpful. I look forward to using it one day lmao hopefully soon! I especially loved to part on the budgeting and local deals. I love saving money when I can. I mean who doesn’t 😀.I would love to see what other work this author has. Like the Druid’s Brooch Series the author has created, it looks super interesting and that’s just from looking at the covers.

England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming: A Guide to Hidden England (The Hidden Gems Series) by Christy Nicholas. This is the 3rd book in the Hidden Gems Series and I have really enjoyed this series. Its very informative and interesting. I like it because it tells you about the hidden gem places that you might miss if going by a regular travel guide. This book also gives you a lot of history on England and all the nuances that make it so lovely. It also has lots of information about planning things and how that works in England. Being a foreign Country for us its a great guide that explains a lot of stuff that you wouldn’t normally find. The only bad thing about this book is you will want to book a trip to England immediately. I’m looking forward to the next one.

Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga by Janice Pratt and Lenora Degen is aimed at giving parents and teachers some different concepts to engage children and teach them some valuable life skills.
The book ‘plants’ different concepts on using movement, science, nature, and growth to help a child find focus, concentration, mindfulness, compassion, empathy, and breathing better. This is done through Yoga techniques, planting seeds, affirmations, games, moving activities, mindfulness activities, and even songs.
We learn about Yoga principles, Yoga movements, Plant growth, and much more. I think this is a great tool that has a different approach to raising healthy children- body, mind, and spirit.
Well worth the read!
Happy Reading…
