Yolanda and the Rainbow Breath

5 min 28 sec

In a quiet corner of Maplewood Lane stood a little blue cottage with wind chimes that sang whenever the breeze wandered by.
Inside, Yolanda the yoga teacher unrolled her sunflower yellow mat and smiled at the empty room, knowing it would soon be full of giggles.

Every Saturday morning, neighborhood children hurried through the garden gate, slipping off their shoes like butterflies shedding cocoons.
Today, the air smelled of fresh mint and warm oatmeal cookies cooling on the kitchen counter.

Yolanda greeted each child by touching her heart and bowing slightly, a silent promise that here, every feeling was welcome.
First came Leo, who carried a tiny toy train in his pocket wherever he went.

Then twins Mira and Myra, who loved matching their movements to the same slow drumbeat.
Shy little Priya peeked in, holding her grandmother’s hand until Yolanda knelt and offered a paper crane folded from lavender paper.

The grandmother smiled, whispered thanks, and slipped away to run errands.
When the clock chimed nine, Yolanda sat cross legged at the front of the room and rang a silver bell that sounded like moonlight.

The children copied her posture, some wobbling, some steady, all eager.
She asked them to close their eyes and imagine a soft glowing light inside their chests.

Together they inhaled through their noses, filling their bellies like balloons, then exhaled through their mouths, making gentle ocean sounds.
After three rounds, Yolanda told them to picture the light drifting up through their throats, behind their eyes, and out the tops of their heads, sprinkling rainbow dust across the ceiling.

Leo peeked and giggled, certain he saw sparkles dancing near the fan.
Yolanda only winked, inviting everyone to breathe again, slower, quieter, as if each breath were a secret love letter to the sky.

Soon the room felt still, like the surface of the pond in the woods when no wind stirs.
She guided them to lie on their backs, placing stuffed animals on their bellies so the animals could ride the rise and fall of their breathing.

Mira chose a plush dolphin, Myra a tiny fox, Priya a velvet elephant, Leo a shiny red engine.
Yolanda dimmed the lights and spoke in a voice softer than silk.

She described a floating garden where worries turned into dandelion seeds and drifted away.
The children imagined themselves there, barefoot on warm grass, listening to hummingbirds hum lullabies.

Priya’s shoulders loosened, her hands uncurled, her elephant rocked gently atop her slow steady breath.
Outside, sparrows chirped, but inside only the hush of calm existed.

After a few minutes, Yolanda asked them to notice colors behind their eyelids.
Leo saw swirling purple, Mira golden yellow, Myra sea green, Priya rose pink.

Yolanda invited them to choose one color and let it wrap around their hearts like a cozy scarf.
Together they inhaled their chosen color, letting it fill every fingertip, every toe.

She told them to keep the color inside, a private rainbow they could visit whenever the world felt loud.
When the silver bell rang again, the children sat up slowly, rubbing sleepy eyes, smiling small soft smiles.

They returned their stuffed animals to the basket, hugging each in thanks for the peaceful ride.
Yolanda offered each child a stamp on the back of their hand: a tiny lotus for patience, a star for hope, a heart for kindness.

Priya picked the lotus, pressing it to her cheek before rolling down her sleeve.
The twins chose matching stars, holding hands while Yolanda spoke.

She reminded them that the rainbow breath was theirs forever, free to use at school, at home, before sleep.
Leo asked if the train could learn to breathe too, and Yolanda nodded, saying everything breathes in its own way, even engines resting in the station.

They stood, bowed to one another, and filed out into the sunshine where parents waited with open arms.
Cookies were shared, stories exchanged, and soon the cottage grew quiet again.

Yolanda swept the floor, folded blankets, watered the spider plant trailing green babies.
She paused to gaze at the empty mat, remembering how the room had shimmered with rainbow light moments earlier.

With a contented sigh, she rolled up her yellow mat, tied it with a purple string, and placed it in the bamboo basket by the door.
Tomorrow would bring new worries, new giggles, new breaths to guide.

Until then, she carried her own rainbow inside, a gentle glow that hummed beneath her ribs like a secret lullaby.
And somewhere down the lane, four children took deeper breaths without even noticing, their hearts quietly coloring the world.
