Editorial Reviews

In this yoga production, parents and children will be introduced to Angel Bear and his little friend,Sweet Pea. Your instructor, Ms Christi, will show you symbolic poses representing courage and listening as you go on a magical journey! Learn to be brave and not fear the dark as you courageously practice "night animal" poses. Learn to use your special listening skills as you become a softly falling leaf. Join the fun with Angel Bear as you learn to see the positive character all around you in the natural world! This 60 minute video features 2 complete lesson plans(courage/listening) from the Angel Bear Yoga program and is perfect for home use, classroom use, etc. Poses are simple and no previous yoga experience necessary (take it slow and learn to improve over time). For ages 3-9 with parental supervision.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, May 8, 2008

By 

Grace G. (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Angel Bear Yoga (DVD)

First, I'd like to say that the Angel Bear and Sweet Pea characters are adorable and brilliant. But they are the cover art and flashed on a couple cards during the dvd, otherwise they are completely unrelated to this dvd.

If it had been an animated yoga adventure with Angel Bear and Sweet Pea, this would have been a home run. Its just Christi Eley in a plain classroom which seems to serve to feature their Angel Bear products yoga mats and eye pillows more than anything else. It is Christi Eley yoga, not Angel Bear.

The Companion Book that you can buy separately is better than the dvd because it is actually Angel Bear, but it is an over priced hard copy version of a coloring book and contains no instruction.

If you're looking for children's yoga, Gaiam's Yoga Kids series is much better. Excellent actually. I highly recommend it.

As for this dvd, I probably wouldn't have been so disappointed if they had marketed this as being what it is (a cheap production of a well intended, amateur instructor in a classroom) instead of the image of Angel Bear which is imagined and implied, but non-existent.

To the makers: ANIMATED Angel Bear Yoga would be a home run and make this worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angle Bear Yoga, July 9, 2007

This review is from: Angel Bear Yoga (DVD)

I have enjoyed having my children participate in Angel Bear Yoga! My children participated in the video and classes before it. They had a wonderful time and learned a lot!

The video is well done! I think other parents, especially those with small children, will enjoy the chance to share physical fitness and values in the Angel Bear adventures!

As an Early Childhood Specialist, I see obvious benefits of the program, which include the opportunity to be physically active, gain balance and self control, improve communication skills and social skills and to provide an opportunity to discuss values, beliefs and attitudes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Designed for Children, November 7, 2007

By

This review is from: Angel Bear Yoga (DVD)

I'm please to see that this product is truly designed to the way children learn. This is a delightful way to introduce young children to basic yoga. For Moms and Dads that study yoga, this is a great way to help introduce yoga to your children in a age appropriate way that is designed specifically to the way your child learns. Too often, especially when we have studied something for a very long time, and it has been many years since we were a child ourselves, we forget the best way to learn (and teach) the basics. Thanks to the author for reminding us of how to think like a child.
