Hands to Heart: Breathe and Bend with Animal Friends

Written by Alexandra Bauermeister; Illustrated by Flora Waycott

I am thrilled to share with you this beautiful yoga and mindfulness book (written by my yoga therapist daughter) that encourages young readers to breathe, slow down, and move into gentle, playful poses as they ease into a practice of meditation. With a gentle reminder for children to breathe and connect to their bodies, the book contains a sweet cast of animal friends to guide young readers from one yoga pose to the next. From reaching your hands up to the sky to stretching like a cat to pressing up like a cobra snake, each posture helps to control breathing, engage in the present moment, and lead towards greater calmness and peacefulness. The soothing, rhythmic text paired with playful illustrations make this book perfect for young readers ready to interact with yoga poses and practice mindfulness.

How do you have fun?

How do you have fun? Post your favorites! I love karaoke (the singer in me still enjoys a good croon) and darts (I'm getting pretty good)! I also love rainy day movie marathons. I watch 2-3 of my favorite movies back to back with my beloved Bichon, Cosette, by my side. Some of my all-time favorites: Defending Your Life..., Hearts & Souls, Mermaids, and Mr. Holland's Opus. Can't wait to hear how you have fun! Cosette 2-071.Sm for Web

Are You Estranged from a Family Member?

A national news television show is doing a segment about me working with estranged family members, and is looking for 2 estranged family members who would like to repair their relationship. It can be a couple, a parent and child (20s+), or siblings. The estranged pair will spend 3 days working with me on air at no cost to them. I will use my Illumineering method—which integrates family systems work, psychodynamic psychology, and coaching—to help them identify and address the root causes of the issues that led to the estrangement, and concrete actions they can take to build and sustain a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with each other. If you or someone you know is estranged with a family member and is interested in being part of this groundbreaking segment, please send an email to info@laurenmackler.com.
