This CD has been one of my best purchases both professionally and personally; in fact I recently purchased a second for those occasional times I misplace the first. I am an occupational therapist practicing in both pediatric and adult-rehab. settings as well as a mother of two theatrical little girls ages 4 and 2.
The CD itself is fun to look at and the downloadable lyrics and pictured poses are a wonderful tool. I printed, laminated, and placed them in a binder which makes it such an easy reference guide. This also allows the students and my children to look through the pages to choose particular songs as well as become more familiar with the postures. Depending on the setting or the individual need of the child at the time of our session, I can choose songs that either awaken or calm as well as choose a song that will promote a specific muscle/joint movement that we are trying to achieve. I have found that each song is individual in composition yet each provides the opportunity for the child to achieve and maintain a posture. The Reflection and Namaste songs are beautiful; those two songs and the remaining instrumental songs are great for breathing/chanting exercises, preparing the body for yoga, and for cool down/relaxation.
I have worked with children that cannot follow 2-step directions yet can complete multiple yoga sequences to this beautiful music....AMAZING!! Non-verbal children who are now making sounds, chanting, or even expressing phrases.....INSPIRING! I can go on and on...
Personally, I love using this at home just for fun, to get my girls to cool down, or even to just get them started for the day. My oldest loves #8 The butterfly, and my youngest loves #7 Jungle Adventure. Some evenings my husband will walk through the door and my two year old is running up to him yelling "Yogi Daddy" and he too joins in. I have found that even doing one song in the morning with my 4 year old will help organize her to get ready on school days. As for me, I am more flexible and coordinated than ever. I am now able to do tricks I haven't done since high school such as cartwheels, backbends.... Also, I had varying degrees of back pain almost daily since my 2nd child and basically have been pain free for months. Best Part, without any other change in my exercise routine other than incorporating the yoga into my practice and home life, I am back to my pre-baby weight!! Thank you for this C.D.!!!!!

I enjoy using this CD with students in school. The music is engaging and the students enjoy the yoga sessions. I find that I have to keep referring to the pictures of the routines rather than just following the musical instuctions. I would have preferred to have the instuctions imbedded in the music so I wouldn't have to look at the printed routines. Maybe practice and repeated use will eliminate the need for this.

My daughter recently bought this "Musical Yoga Adventures" CD for my two granddaughters, ages 3 and 1. My daughter and her two little ones have enjoyed the CD so much. This unique CD has provided a nice opportunity for my daughter and her daughters to have fun exercising, dancing, and singing together. My 3-year-old granddaughter has memorized most of the words to the songs. After seeing how much all three of them enjoyed the CD, I purchased two copies and gave them to my friends' grandchildren for their first birthdays. I am planning to purchase more "Musical Yogo Adventures" CD's to give to my two grandsons and to other children for Christmas.
