Zephyr and the Wind Dragons: Secret Powers of Breath (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798998638619)

"I wish I'd known that when I was younger!"

How many times has that thought passed through your mind as an adult? Zephyr's mission is to open the door to the unmatched power and potential of the breath to our children - to make sure they start young with the tools they need to be happy and successful in life.

Zephyr teaches kids that they have a "secret weapon" when they need to make good decisions; when they're dealing with difficult emotions like fear, frustration, and anger; and when they want to activate physical energy and focus. These skills can make a huge difference in their lives as they move through childhood and the teen years, navigating the inevitable stressors and challenges.

The breath is a powerful tool for self-regulation, performance enhancement, and a source of health and well-being for everyone. Doctors and healers from all traditions, extreme athletes, performing artists and scientific researchers have shown that developing simple breath awareness can unlock internal resources for all of us. It is our goal to bring this simple yet impactful message to children and those who care for them.

Rendered in graphic novel format with beautiful and engaging artwork, Zephyr is designed to be enjoyed by children on their own terms. Young children will love reading it with the help of a parent, teacher, or therapist, while older children and young adults can explore it independently. Following along with the relatable Zephyr they will learn to understand, use, and retain powerful breathing lessons.

This book uses multisensory approaches to teach simple breathing skills alongside Zephyr, a curious young Wind Dragon who falls (literally) into an adventure. To find his way back home to his family and friends, Zephyr learns key lessons of breathing to conquer his fears, harness his emotions, and unlock his inner strength. Along the way he is guided by Wind Keepers - wise and sometimes eccentric teachers who share the knowledge he needs to get home and realize his full power.
