Matilda and her Magical Mat: Yoga for Every body

By Kerry Moeller

Matilda and Her Magical Mat is a part story book and part instruction book on the miracles of yoga that's told by way of Matilda, a nine-year-old girl full of wonder and love who seeks not only adventure, but peace and calm. She gets both-and helps others-thanks to the special magic of yoga poses and breathing.

In this tale, our free spirit meets a young girl at the park whose nickname is "Wheelz." Wheelz doesn't think she can join in on the other kids' yoga because she is in a wheelchair. But Matilda and her friends convince the newcomer that yoga is just as open to her as to anyone, and Wheelz signs on for a wild, yoga-powered ride that delivers them all into outer space. By the end, everyone is thrilled to have taken the virtual trip-and to have had a new friend come along.

This simple tale-aimed at kids with a love for yoga and adventure (and at their parents)-has much to say about the calming capabilities of yoga. On this common ground, playfulness, creativity, peace, and laughter await.
