When Mom begins her backyard yoga session, Zoey and Lexi are all energy and motion. But Zoey\u2019s questions soon alter the mood, as Mom introduces calming poses like cat, puppy, and tree. Lexi adds her own flair\u2014sniffing heads, flopping mid-pose, and treating everything like playtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martin\u2019s narration is light and inviting, while Lexi\u2019s inner thoughts add humor and heart: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how ridiculous I look. It\u2019s about how I feel.\u201d&nbsp; The yoga poses chosen; lotus, cat, puppy, tree, happy baby, are all child-friendly and familiar to those introducing mindfulness to children. Rather than prescribing how to move, the book models curiosity, joy, and acceptance\u2014whether you&#8217;re a kid or a coonhound. A closing note from Lexi seals the message: even zoomy pups can learn to breathe and slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A playful, calming, and funny first look at yoga\u2014for kids, pets, and everyone in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lexi-Coonhound-Does-Yoga-Finds\/dp\/1662944810\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lexi-Coonhound-Does-Yoga-Finds\/dp\/1662944810\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date February 13, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Gatekeeper Press<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN 978-1662944819<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Price $21.99 (USD) Hardcover, $11.99 Paperback, $5.99 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A playful, zoomies-filled fun&#8230; Martin\u2019s lively book blends movement, mindfulness, and family fun through the joyful chaos of a zoomie-prone dog and her curious human, Zoey.
