I bought these to go with the first DVD release so I'd have a full set of 3. These are a little more difficult for my 2 year old but I'm still happy with them because I know that she'll eventually get more into them. Right now her favorite is the first one. We have watched these too;but, she keeps going back to the first in the series. I'm sure as she grows, we'll move up to the more difficult poses. I'm happy because I can really see her doing this for years to come and it gets me up and moving too. I can see it really helping for anger management and stress release when we get to those issues too. :)

My 7 year old has enjoyed this program. Still, I have difficulty keeping up with it. I have been practicing yoga for over two years, and the lack of transitions/ time for transitions (especially prevelant with the ABC yoga-lots of siting, standing, sitting, kneeling, standing again, kneeling, etc..) seems to wear us both out. I prefer a practice that flows from one postion into the other. This one seems very choppy. After thirty minutes, we both seem to give up a bit. That said, the instructor is very lively and funny.

My kids absolutely love these videos. My 5 1/2 year old is a pro already and his little brother, who is two, copies everything he does. It isn't too long so we can do it every other night or so before bed. Not a lot of traditional yoga postures like I'm used to on my tapes, but they are fun and get the kids stretching/moving. Me too! Definitely glad I bought them and would certainly recommend them.

I had Yoga Kids on video tape for my older kids & they enjoyed it a lot, so I got this one for my toddler. He loves it! He tries to follow along & do the yoga (it's so funny). There are some "classic" yoga poses modified for little ones and some exercizes that are mostly movement and using imagination rather than poses. The teacher is very fun (looks like she's having fun) and warm and has a kind voice.

I bought the DVD for my son to help him control his large amounts of energy and for exercise. I found that the DVD was benefitual for me also. There is not much time between changing positions but each one is explained in a fun and educational manner. I would recommend this DVD to anyone interested in having their children try and perform Yoga

I bought this for my little home daycare and have found it to be the most popular video in my collection to them. The two-year-olds especially ask for it all the time. It's a great way to keep them active when it's too hot to go outside.

I absolutely love these videos! I have two boys, ages 4 & 6. Both enjoy doing there yoga! They are learning the names of the poses, and actually correct me when I make a mistake on the names! We have been doing yoga for several months now. The boys are ridiculously bendy. They watch me and attempt to 'help' me go into a move more deeply. I cannot do half the stretching those kids do. The dvds are not condescending, they are fun, and they hold my kids interest. I branched out and bought them 'Animal Yoga'. It is horrible. I could never recommend that video. It is cheaper, but it is not worth it.
I look forward to trying Yoga kids 1. I love hearing the boys chanting 'Namaste'! Ah my little Yogis..

my kids LOVE this! it's so fun and really well shot. I am now a huge fan of yoga kids and tell everyone to get it!

My son loves this DVD, it is funny, maybe not the fully relax yoga, but of course is made for kids and that is how they learn better: having fun. Nice songs and they have kids from 3 to 6, which is good for my [...] to watch that not all the kids make the excercises perfectly. I will say worth the money

The video incorporates different kinds of postures in a fun way. However, I think a 40 min non-stop sessions is too long to hold any 3-5 year old's interest. Instead, if different routines, each at the most 10 min. long had been presented it would have been better. A parent could guide the child do those, or even accompany the child doing them. And by having different routines there would also have been more variety for the child.
My three year old grand son soon lost interest and moved away to play with some other toys.
