The Gecko Who Learned Yoga

By Shahida Alvarado

Can a tiny gecko find his place in yoga?

Gecko spends his days watching humans bend, twist, and breathe in a busy yoga school in Bali. The poses all have animal names - Cat, Dog, Frog, Crow - but never his. Curious and determined, Gecko sets off on a gentle adventure to find the animal yoga school and discover where he belongs.

Along the way, Gecko meets new animal friends, explores beautiful Balinese landscapes, and learns that courage, breath, balance, and stillness live inside everyone - even the smallest among us.

The Gecko Who Learned Yoga is a warm, mindful picture book that introduces children to yoga-inspired movement, emotional awareness, and self-belief. With calming language and vibrant illustrations, this story invites young readers to move, breathe, and notice the world around them - one pose at a time.

Perfect for ages 4-10, this book supports:
