The protagonists of this fairy tale – Nyima, the older sister, and Dawa, the little brother– lead us to the discovery of a magical country, populated by fantastic creatures: yetis, dragons, talking animals. On their journey in search of a little yak, they meet characters who, emitting powerful sounds and giving them valuable advice, guide them to find their way back “home” and to discover their inner light and happiness. This fable is also a support for learning the Kumar Kumari Yantra, the yoga conceived by Master Namkhai Norbu especially for children among 5 and 12 years: kumar kumari, in fact, means “boys and girls” Kumar Kumari is based on the profound instructions of the ancient Tibetan discipline of Yantra Yoga, adapted and enriched with the use of a unique set of sounds to promote the harmonious development of children, paying special attention to the physical dimension, energy and breathing of growing girls and boys.
