Program Description
Lisa Muchnik is a local author, nurse anesthetist, yoga instructor, and mom. Her first children's book Rainbow Panda was traditionally published in the spring of 2023. It is a story of identity and finding inner beauty with underlying yogic themes. The program opens with a reading of the book, followed by stretching and movement in place. Then, there is a mindfulness exercise based on the book that involves audience participation with some children coming up to place the rainbow colors on the panda and others answering questions. The program concludes with the children up front waving rainbow colored scarves and a final "pose" for the audience members to tie it all together. The interactive rainbow visual brings feelings of peace, harmony, and an overall sense of well-being to the whole group. Additionally, when presenting to smaller groups, a themed yoga sequence can also be included.
