Breathing Sphere

This is one of the most effective tools we have found for teaching relaxed, diaphragmatic breathing. Watching the sphere's three-dimensional action combined with the "belly breathing" activities in our book Yoga Calm for Children calms, centers and relaxes children and adults alike.

Use it at the beginning of a class to focus the group's energy and prepare for learning. Have a child use it when they are upset. Or use it when you need a break. It's calming action works wonders!
