5.0 out of 5 stars we love this DVD!, March 7, 2004

my daughter is 2 and absolutely adores this DVD. We already have and love "Yoga for the Kid in All of Us" (also recommended) and I wanted to get her another "yoga show" to expand her repetoire. If you found Yoga for the Kid... a little silly at times, then you will love this one. It is not dumbed down at all, but very pleasant and intelligent for parents and children. The instructor is calm, yet upbeat and does not talk "down" to the kids or use a sing -song voice (this is a huge pet peeve of mine- I cannot stand the dumbed down tone of most kids videos). I enjoy this one a lot. She goes through a different pose or excersize for each letter of the alphabet, usually an animal or object a child is familiar with. her explanation for "Om" (for the letter O) is very good, and the Namaste song for N is quite lovely and we hum it all day after we see the DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars We like this one!!!, April 19, 2005

My almost 2 year olds daughter and I do this 3 mornings a week at least and really enjoy it! It is just the right amount of "Yoga" mixed with other fun things to keep both her and I intersted! It has good poses, not to fast- not to slow-JUST RIGHT!!! It feels good for us both and gets us ready for the day. I like the OM and Namaste words and the teacher is nice, mellow and friendly seeming so I give this DVD 5 stars because we have tried others that were not so great and this is a overall good DVD for Yogis of all ages!!! ENJOY! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful dvd for everyone, January 3, 2006

I am a yoga enthusiast myself, so I was looking for a dvd I could use with my five and two year old children. Our ten year old is already using the adult yoga dvds, having outgrown children's yoga videos. This is a wonderful dvd to add to your collection and the instructor is really good. I agree with the other reviewer who said she doesn't talk down to the children...this is important. I once had to get rid of a kids exercise video because our daughter felt insulted by the instructor!
Also, I feel it is important to note that WE also are a Christian family, and find no offense with the use of OM and NAMASTE at all. This video certainly isn't out to convert anyone to Hinduism! There is nothing at all wrong with having children learn the value of quiet relaxation, no matter what your religious convictions. Some of the content found in today's supposedly Christian dvds and stories is far more offensive. Give this one a try. You will be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2.5 yr old adores this video!!!, October 31, 2004

I purchased this video a few weeks ago for my 2.5 yr old son. My son is VERY high energy and since it's Fall and soon will be Winter I wanted to find exercises to do with him indoors so he won't be bouncing off the walls. This video is EXCELLENT! At first he didn't get it but after I showed him how to do the moves he loved it! He actually picked this DVD over his Brainy Baby and Baby Einstein videos! The lady's voice is very calm and reassuring and the dvd is informative wich I enjoy and my son does as well (learning about nature, our bodies, some words in sanscript etc). Most importantly the video actually WORKS. We did it an hour ago as a matter of fact. My son was bouncing around and acting silly towards the beginning of the video but towards the end he was actually calm and still is an hour later. I can't recommend this DVD enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars YogaKids is the BEST!, December 2, 2004

My daughter and I started doing YogaKids every evening when she was 18 months old. At first, she could only do one pose, but she watched the kids doing yoga with great interest and now, at age 2, these are her very favorite. She's learned yoga and lots of new words and concepts from these creative and challenging videos. My daughter is still mastering new poses and is so proud of herself as she tries and achieves new things. It is a great DVD to do with your child. It is our favorite part of the day. Silly to Calm is a great bedtime yoga practice. It loosens us up and brings us down to a calm, peaceful state. My daughter is ready to move into bed when this video is done and she does so happily and easily!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really does calm them down!!!, March 21, 2006

I have done this DVD with my two children several times before bedtime. It really does calm both of them down and get them ready for bed. Some of the poses are a little difficult for my youngest child (age 2 1/2 ) but my 4 1/2 year old is very capable of them.
