Sydney Solis, owner and creator of Storytime Yoga, wrote in her book 'Story time Yoga: Teaching yoga to children through story', “ Yoga and storytelling work hand in hand to retrieve that capacity to know awe. In addition, stories provide roadmaps, which subtly help children making choices in life. Fairy tales, after all, involve important elements of classic psychology. Giving children these tools at an early age can only do good."
