After a mindful walk through the woods, sitting in Sukhasana on the rocks by the gushing stream, eyes closed as you breathe in the copious supplies of pure oxygen, immersed in the sounds of natural elements and wildlife, as the sun gently beams upon you—if this doesn’t make the cut on the list of reasons …
Children today are under as much stress as adults. And with the busy, achievement-oriented lives they lead, kids need tools to help them self-nurture, self-adjust, and feel happy.
