We know that cats and dogs make good pets, but what if you could have any animal as a pet? Who would you choose? In this yoga story, we’ll make the shapes and sounds of all kinds of animals… and see which one your parents might let you keep!
You may not have an hour to meditate, but can you spare three or four minutes? Sometimes we feel like we don't have the time to tend to ourselves, but it is absolutely essential in order to keep persevering and to be able to take care of others.
