Yoga, Education and Sustainable Living for Children and Families

"Raven Brings the Light" an Inuit story featured as the Storytime Yoga Kids Story-of-the-Month Club for December. Retold by Sydney Solis with illustrations by Andras Balogh

The sacred time is upon us. The stories call us within. The Inuit story of Raven Brings the Light takes us on a journey to align our minds, hearts and bodies with nature and the season.

Join me in bringing storytelling back to the world. Bring back our imagination and lead the people to light by telling stories. A recent article in The U.K. Guardian related endangered cultural traditions around the world. Storytelling, yes storytelling, is considered endangered. The Storytime Yoga League of Yogic Storytellers live call this month features leading a ritual celebration for your family or community to reconnect to this important art that is vital to our society. “Myths are narrative patterns that give significance to our existence,” says American psychiatrist Rollo May in his book The Cry for Myth. In these dark times, we need light-bearers of story and yoga wisdom for rebirth our world and protect our children. We need you.

Use the power of your voice and body to reconnect kids’ outer world with their inner worlds and make this holiday season magical. You don’t have to buy a thing but regardless will receive the greatest priceless treasures.

Begin your journey and subscribe to the Storytime Yoga Kids Story-of-the-Month Club and get the Yoga Story Kit that features a parent teacher guide. Learn to teach your child with your own voice in your own home through oral storytelling. Use the Kamishibai theatre cards to develop literacy and oral skills in your child, and combine it with movement and yoga for body-centered ritual family fun and health.
