The story
Quarky tries yoga for the first time and learns it is three friends working together: breathing, stretching, and paying attention. His poses are wobbly and giggly, and that is exactly right.
What you'll learn
- Yoga puts breathing, movement, and attention together.
- Wobbly and giggly poses still count as yoga.
- Calm takeaway: yoga is breath, movement, and attention together.
- Quarky takeaway: you do not have to be perfect to begin.
