This book discusses who does yoga and why (e.g., "football players do yoga to get stronger") and also describes eleven positions and their benefits (e.g., "this pose opens your rib cage so you can breathe more deeply"). Although occasionally they don’t sufficiently demonstrate the poses, the illustrations of the floppy-eared piggies are appealing.

Stressful and frustrating moments for pig children--difficult homework, losing a game--are dissipated after they meditate ("breathe, breathe, breathe"). The text extols the virtues of meditation ("when you're feeling peaceful, you like who you are, just as you are"). The art's floppy-eared pigs and soothing colors make this a pleasant introduction. A meditation guide and an activity are appended.
