Honouring Namaste
The word or phrase Namaste directly translates into meaning, “the divine in me bows to the divine in you.” Namaste is not only a greeting, it is also a phrase with deep intention.
In Sanskrit, nama means “bow” and te means “to you.” It is usually practiced with hands at heart center in a prayer position with a slight bow. Within yoga philosophy, Namaste is used as an honourable greeting, a recognition of connection to oneself, each other, and the practice of yoga.

What Experts Are Saying
Shira Levitt, MSW,
I adore this book!! It is fun and easy to read and exposes the reader to all sorts of social emotional skills that are so important for kids (and adults) to learn about. The book also made my kids giggle, which is also a bonus! I will definitely recommend this book to my peers, both in the mommy world and Social Work world.
Adrienne Frank, MSW,
NAMOOSTE is a book that I will definitely use both professionally and personally; social-emotional learning is so very relevant and needed right now. The illustrations, font, and layouts are extremely pleasing to the eye, and the animals are adorable. I could imagine children copying the animal sounds and loving the pictures. The useful social-emotional concepts scattered throughout the book are easy to find and spark conversation with children. It was a pleasant surprise to find amazing content at the end with which adults could guide children through a debrief of the book, and a section that explains all the key terms. NAMOOSTE is a great tool for children of all ages, whether in a professional setting or home environment!

Charming, witty and clever from start to finish! NaMOOste takes you on a journey through different situations, and how to deal with them. The benefits of yoga and the social and emotional learning weaved through the story make this an excellent read for everyone. A must for the bookshelves of parents and therapists alike.
