I teach at an International Preschool in Japan. I purchased this with the idea to keep the kids exercising on rainy days. We show it with a projector on a big screen indoors. The video is quite good. Kids seem to respond and like the animal videos and animation shown between each yoga pose. The 4 and 5 year olds do well with it while the 3 year old seem to lack the focus required to do this for the entire video. Id recommend it for anywhere between 5 and 7 years old ideally. Adults should always be present as well to make sure that the kids stretch safely as some of poses can be dangerous without supervision. All in all I found it an excellent way to focus kids energy in a positive way.

I do basic yoga in my spare time and my almost 3 year old son is always trying to mimic me, but most of the time it is too difficult for him. So happy I stumbled upon this dvd! It is great and keeps his attention (which is rare for him) and gets his crazy toddler energy out. There are a few moves he can't do just yet, but for the most part it is fairly easy for him to follow. Two added pluses are it also helps with promote learning the alphabet and its great for adults too! I love doing this with him, great stretches (some moves even leave me a little sore!) All in all I highly recommend!

I bought this for my two year old son so we'd have something to do on the below zero days of winter. He is obsessed with the Alphabet Song, so I thought he'd like this DVD. It runs about 30 minutes, and there are about six children and an instructor featured in the video. It goes through the alphabet and demonstrates poses (i.e. "A" is for alligator and you lie on your stomach and wiggle like an alligator while stretching your arms in front of you and clapping your hands together like an alligator opening and closing its mouth). My son is a little young to follow the poses, but he enjoys watching the kids and hearing the music/songs they sing. He also laughs at me while I do the poses and encourage him to do the same. The poses are pretty basic, but they feel good, and there are some helpful explanations for the poses. For instance, the instructor suggests trying the "V" for volcano pose to deal with anger/frustration. I can see my son enjoying this when he's a little older, probably within a few months.

I found this to be a good yoga video that my 6 year-old daughter and I can do together. I was surprised that the age recommendation is ages 3 to 6. I don't think she will be too old for this next year, and some of the poses are difficult for a small child (and an out-of-shape adult with low flexibility!) to do. I decided to get this one in the series because it has one pose for each letter of the alphabet, and my daughter likes that. I didn't find the imagery between the poses to be too long or distracting as some found, but maybe that's because my daughter's on the older end of the suggested age range.

My three year old grandson understands - and can do most of the postures in this yoga DVD. He usually stays fully engaged through to the end, and his 18 month-old sister follows along with some of it, too. What she can't do, she watches; the video is designed with beautiful images of places in nature, so her attention stays captivated. I even heard her chanting "Ohm" while sitting in her high chair, waiting for her lunch! I wish someone had introduced yoga practice to me, when I was a youngster.

The workout on this DVD is a fantastic way for all of us to release pent-up energy on a bad-weather day. To my surprise, one of my grandson's favorite parts is the "zig-zag" breathing, during Final Relaxation. This is a kid who lives in perpetual motion! Yoga is so good for kids, and this DVD makes it fun and inviting for them. We love it!
