Editorial Reviews

Dance for the Sun: yoga songs for kids" is the debut album from children's yoga teacher, songwriter and mom Kira Willey. Inspired by jazz, doowop, bluegrass, and African tribal songs, Dance for the Sun is a unique collection of great family music. "The song(s) would definitely work in a very hip children's film or children's TV...the chord choices are very strong...the lyrics are great, very cool and original..." writes Julie Alexander, Talent Coordinator for Flight Safe Music. But Dance for the Sun is more than just great music - it's also a fun way for you and your child to do yoga together. Kids will build strength, flexibility and confidence while having a blast surfing the waves, crawling like a caterpillar, and going on many other adventures! The CD includes a beautifully illustrated, instructional booklet, and 16 Bonus Yoga Tracks. Listen to the Yoga Tracks and join in as Kira takes you through musical segments of a Fireflies Musical Yoga class. With the help of Pose Key figures on each page of the booklet, you'll see how the poses and movements fit with each song. The Yoga Tracks include live African percussion and the happy sounds of the children participating in the class. 1 Dance For the Sun 2 Let's Go to Work 3 Black Dog in the River 4 The Shimmy 5 The Dancing Mountain 6 Midnight Moonlight 7 Caterpillar Caterpillar 8 Big Brown Bear 9 Colors 10 Surfer Mama 11 The Sound I Found 12 Making Pie 13 Namaste Song 14 Banile 15 Welcome to Fireflies 16 Dance For the Sun (yoga track) 17 Let's Go to Work (yoga track) 18 Black Dog in the River (yoga track) 19 The Shimmy (yoga track) 20 The Dancing Mountain (yoga track) 21 Midnight Moonlight (yoga track) 22 Caterpillar Caterpillar (yoga track) 23 Big Brown Bear (yoga track) 24 Colors (yoga track) 25 Surfer Mama (yoga track) 26 The Sound I Found (yoga track) 27 Making Pie (yoga track) 28 Namaste Song (yoga track) 29 Peace & Joy

I heard one of the songs "colors" on a Dell commercial one night and immediately jumped online to see who sang it. To my delight I found that it was from a children's CD - Dance for the Sun. I'm a Sunday school teacher - and I ordered it immediately. I love "black dog in the river" - and plan to use the "namaste song" in my classroom. They are all yoga songs - but there are 13 songs with no yoga instructions as well. This CD is a fun, Spirtual, beautifully sung, fabulous chance for kids to learn! YAY for Kira Wiley!!

I too heard "Colors" on the Dell commercial and went to Amazon to learn more about the song. I was ecstatic to find out it was from a kid's yoga CD because I'm a yoga teacher. I downloaded the whole album; it's perfect! Thank you Kira Willey!

I heard the song 'colors' on a Dell commercial (thank you) and quickly ran to amazon to try to find it. (Note: this isn't the first time I've done this... also got the truckstop song on the Hardee's commercial).

Anyway, was I surprised to find out this was a kid's yoga cd. Of course I love the 'colors' song but the rest of the cd is nice as well, although it is definitely geared for kids. The end of the cd is gives kids guided instruction of simple yoga postures.

Very Cool!

Thank you.
