Barkha Sharma has a unique gift to connect with young readers through her writing. In her debut book Global Little Yogis, she has playfully described and beautifully illustrated 30 asanas with the aim of igniting a spark in every child to embrace yoga. Striking a great balance between fun and learning, this book also draws from mythology as well as classical music traditions from around the world. It highlights the importance of yoga and the values of harmony of the mind, body and soul, the inside and the outside, the self and its surroundings.
Each asana, with its own set of unique meditations, breathing exercises and prayers, has been thoughtfully paired with knowledge about specific spirit animals, flowers and trees. Children can become little yogis by learning how to balance all the five tattvas (elements of nature) and attaining not only an equilibrium in life, but also the strength and skills to achieve their dreams and become strong leaders in a brighter, loving and peaceful world.
