Hiba Melhem Stancofski, a 200-hour certified yoga instructor and mindfulness teacher who lives in Lewes, has released her debut children’s book, “I Feel Better Now.”
Though it was created during the COVID-19 pandemic, the lessons taught in this mindfulness book transcend time and age. All too often, difficult emotions and adverse situations can overwhelm people – children and adults alike. By using the power of breath and awareness and simple movements, people can learn to feel better in the moment and cope with stress.
When Alia sees her younger brother Tommy struggling emotionally, physically and mentally during the pandemic, she believes an outdoor adventure is just what he needs. Alia suggests a mindfulness walk. Slowly she coaxes Tommy back to feeling better by teaching him mindfulness breathing and other powerful exercises that help reset his emotional, physical and educational life.
