The Mindful Child Journal is based on my Mindful Child Workshop and teachings from my Mindful Children's Yoga classes. My experience teaching yoga and mindfulness to children has led me to create a book so that children anywhere in our world can have the basic tools to live a more mindful life.

I felt a responsibility to our children to give access to the tools of Mindfulness and Yoga that they can take into their adult lives. We need more compassionate and patience humans that work together to help others and to support and care for our planet. When we all can access the place within us of calm, love and centeredness we have the ability to create a world reflecting these same qualities. With little steps throughout our journey in life we can continue practicing and learning how Mindfulness and Yoga can be an anchor of strength and support in our health, relationships and quality of life.

The tools in this journal will open the door for children to lead a more mindful life.

Look inside to see what your child will be learning.

Peggy Burt, RYT®500, Registered Yoga and Mindfulness Teacher

"The Mindful Child Journal is a thoughtful, personal way for young people to explore the wonders of mindfulness and yoga. The activities are artful and accessible, and can create lifelong practices such as mindful listening and sending kind thoughts to others. Bringing awareness of the breath and of the body is a true gift for children as they learn to be resilient. These carefully outlined practices are available to all – no experience required. In the fast paced world that we live in, a book like this is a welcome reminder to slow down and reflect on what is most important."

“A beautiful and thoughtful journal. I did this journal with my son. It was a lovely way for us slow down for a bit each day and spend some time exploring the concepts together.”

“The Mindful Child Journal is an excellent resource for families who want to explore mindfulness together. The journal includes lots of activities, delightful illustrations, and descriptions of mindfulness and yoga principles at just the right level for 8-12 year olds. The book teaches many essential skills like focusing, calming stress, and taking care of mind and body. These are lessons that could have a lifelong impact on a child. This is a colorful, fun, and lighthearted book that I think many families will enjoy.”

Kim Sautter-Ramos, Yoga Teacher

"In Rachel Gonzalez's instructional guide "The Mindful Child Journal" many of the same concepts shared with our family during mindfulness training are covered. With the aid of this unique journal, any child can develop a practice with a clear understanding of mindfulness, how to practice it, and an explanation of what you can gain from each individual exercise. Rachel's journal allows every child the opportunity, through this 4-week journey, to learn the beginning steps of the practice with visual imagery that will easily engage a child's mind.”
