“Yoga Nidra Lullaby is a gift to any child. Rina Deshpande’s painterly art pairs beautifully with her written message. This gentle story sweetly teaches the child to understand a mind-body connection through yoga nidra breathing, visualization, and relaxation. A strong bond with her parents, plus Rina’s rich experience as an educator coupled with her illustrations, results in a winning combination.”

“Rina’s introduction to practicing yoga nidra is a must-read for children who are struggling with keeping calm and getting enough rest during an especially challenging time in all our lives….

It is a precious jewel for parents and children alike.”
