Dr. Julia LeBlanc Introduces Why Mommy Does Yoga, A Heartfelt Story Helping Parents and Kids Connect Through Mindfulness
At its core, Why Mommy Does Yoga is a story about connection. Through the curious eyes of a little boy, young readers are introduced to the practice of yoga as he watches his mother stretch, breathe, and find peace on her mat. Wanting to join in, the child learns how yoga helps him feel safe, strong, and brave. The story shows that yoga is not just something adults do for self-care—it is a joyful activity that children and parents can share, strengthening their bond in the process.
A Fresh Approach to Parents & Child Bonding
While many children’s books encourage imagination and adventure, Why Mommy Does Yoga offers something new: a way for parents and children to experience mindfulness together. The book presents yoga as a tool for both physical health and emotional resilience, teaching children how breathing, stretching, and moving with intention can help calm worries and spark confidence.
“Yoga has always been a source of strength and balance for me as a mom,” Dr. LeBlanc explained. “But what surprised me was how curious my children were about the practice. They wanted to try the poses, copy my breathing, and be part of that quiet moment. That inspired me to create a story that could help other families share the same experience.”
Meeting a Growing Need
Interest in mindfulness practices for children has grown dramatically in recent years. Schools are introducing yoga and meditation into classrooms, and parents are increasingly seeking tools to help children navigate stress, anxiety, and the overwhelming pace of modern life.
Dr. LeBlanc’s Why Mommy Does Yoga responds to this growing demand by blending storytelling with practical lessons. It makes yoga approachable for families, presenting poses like Tree, Warrior, and Downward Dog in a playful and engaging way. Children see yoga not as a chore, but as something fun they can do with their parents.
“Parents often wonder how to introduce mindfulness to kids without it feeling forced,” said Dr. LeBlanc. “This story is my way of showing that it doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be as simple as rolling out a mat, sharing a few poses, and breathing together.”
More Than a Story
Beyond the book itself, Dr. LeBlanc sees this project as part of a larger mission to encourage families to practice mindfulness together. As both a parent and an advocate for wellness, she understands how challenging modern life can be. The pace is fast, the demands are constant, and the moments of true connection often feel fleeting. Through Why Mommy Does Yoga, she hopes to give families a simple but powerful tool to slow down, breathe, and reconnect. She added, “My hope is that this book inspires families to carve out even five minutes a day to breathe, stretch, and laugh together. Those small moments of presence can create lasting memories and stronger bonds.”
