What's inside

From a real classroom, not a theory

I'm Vandy, a certified children's yoga teacher. I've spent years on the floor with kids aged five to ten, and I've watched the same thing over and over: a big feeling shows up in the body long before it shows up in words. The clenched fists before the shout. The stomach ache before the test.

Every tool in the Calm Kit is one I teach in class. Nothing here is a secret. It's ordinary yoga and breathwork, matched to the feeling it settles best, and to a character your child can picture.

These seven tools come from a story

In HeartLight: Yoga Tales, Balu, Raven, Yagoo, Ziya, Tara and Nimo each carry one of these feelings through the Heart-Root Forest, guided by Ojas, the wise owl in the Great Banyan Tree. Six chapters, six feelings, six matched practices, and a fully illustrated activity guide to do together after each one.

For ages 7 to 10. Arriving January 2027. People on the Calm Kit list hear first, and get the launch-week price.
