Testimonials

“As an experienced Supply Teacher, I know that it can be a challenge to get children to listen during Physical Education because of the less structured format and the high excitement level. The first class that I tried “What I See, I Can Be” with, were a notorious Grade 2/3 split. They were known as a difficult class to control and all morning they acted up. When we got to Gym Class, I put on the CD and had the children follow along with the yoga book. The results were amazing! To my delight, the yoga book and CD captured their interest and attention. The children who had been uncooperative all morning settled down and remained settled down for the rest of the day.

I recommend “What I See, I Can Be” to all teachers. You will benefit immensely from using this children’s yoga program in your Gym Classes and for DPA. It is a great way for children to start the day.”
– Mary Jaglowitz, Primary/Special Ed Supply Teacher, Grand Erie School Board & Brant Haldimand Norfolk Separate School Board.

"In addition to the physical benefits, this book provides a wonderful and creative way to introduce children to the concept of relaxation, breathing and body awareness.”
– Dorothy Peirce, Elementary Teacher-Librarian, East York Board of Education

– Kathryn Turnbull, ESL Teacher, Ottawa Carleton District School Board

“Amazing graphics and easy for children to follow. Promotes the benefits of nature’s wonders and our own health. I recommend this book to parents with young children.”

“Brilliantly written, beautifully illustrated. An essential resource for anyone advocating for the health, fitness and wellness of our children.”
– Erika Caspersen, Health & Wellness Specialist, City of Hamilton Public Health

“Finally, a yoga resource that is effective and easy to follow, and fully inclusive of all physical ability levels! Each yoga pose is clearly illustrated, guiding you into correct body positioning. The book is perfect to use as a stand alone on warm days for yoga outdoors. The book and CD will rapidly become valuable and essential components of a high quality DPA program. Teachers in open concept classrooms will find that the CD works wonderfully when played at normal teacher volume with the children following along. Use the CD to do a few poses after periods of high activity to bring the mind and body back to a place of focus and calm – allowing for optimal learning to take place! This is an irreplaceable DPA resource that every primary/junior teacher should own.”
-Suki McVeety, DPA Coordinator, Grade 4/5 Teacher Peel School and Parent of a 5 and 9 year old

"My favourite yoga posture is mouse. I like it because it stretches my back just the right amount and not too much. "
