Former Tofield resident publishes book on mindful breathing
Former Tofield resident Karla Dueck Thiessen recalls when it all came together in 2019.
“I wanted the kids to act out a story on paper and trees at the assembly,” Thiessen said. “While they were enacting it, I wondered what if we could get them to actually experience how a book is made! That’s what sparked the idea and we had the first edition of the book come out in June that year.”
Thiessen’s book is entitled It Starts With A Breath and is a pictorial book on mindful breathing.

Thiessen teaches Nursery and Kindergarten children at the Brock Corydon School in Winnipeg now, and has been focusing on mindful breathing for more than a decade.
