There’s a new way for children to unwind, chill out and de-stress and it involves reading and yoga.
UAE kid’s book store, Bookworm, has introduced weekly story time sessions with a focus on mindfulness.
The children’s book shop, which has stores in Dubai at Al Safa 1 and at the Meadows Souk, is combining books and yoga.
Every Tuesday yoga teacher and mindful eating coach, Kate Sheikh, will choose a popular children’s book such as The Gruffalo or The Tiger Who Came to Tea, to read out loud to little book-lovers.
But unlike normal story time sessions, Sheikh promises to spice things up a bit by incorporating a fun yoga session into the story telling experience.
The sessions will take place every Tuesday at 9am live on Bookworm’s Instagram so that families across the UAE can tune in and join in with the various yoga poses.
Best of all, the sessions are absolutely free.
Sit back, listen and get ready to strike a downward dog.
