Editorial Reviews

Yoga for Families is grounded in the belief that being connected to our family members promotes confidence and increased self awareness. Tightly knit family members feel more empowered to go out into the world and energetically embrace what life offers us. Yoga for Families supports this through a challenging yoga practice and quiet resting specifically designed for parents and children.

In order to keep the entire family engaged during a yoga session, we developed a sequence of fun, lively "kid" energy poses. Original music was also created to help carry the practice - and enable our yogis to stretch deeper, get stronger and rest easier. Practicing together this way builds a special connection. At Yoga to Have Fun, we like to live the true meaning of Namaste - may the light in me, reflect the light in you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful!, August 11, 2010

This review is from: Yoga For Families: Connect With Your Kids (DVD)

Living in the desert southwest prevents my children from getting adequate outdoor play during the summer so I was looking for a workout that would get my children moving and allow us to have fun as a family; this was NOT that workout. The workout is way too fast paced for either a children's workout or for a beneficial yoga workout. There is no instructional section for children, or their parents for that matter, to learn the correct poses. And by the time you figure out what exactly the instructor wants you to do she has already moved on to the next series of poses. It was impossible to keep up with her. My children, ages 6 and 8, were frustrated by the fast pace of this video. I also found the pace difficult to keep up with and I am a certified fitness instructor! The verbal cueing of the instructor was lacking so you have to keep both eyes on the TV to watch what she does - kind of hard while attempting to perform yoga poses. Do not waste your money on this video. Me and my children do enjoy Denise Austin's Fit Kids workout, which is fast paced but fun and easy to follow. Gymathtics is also a great children's workout.

Although not a bad yoga dvd, I was looking for something to do with my younger children, ages 3 and 5. You can tell that the voice over instructions and sound effects were added to make this video appeal to a younger audience, but it was still too challenging for younger kids and did not hold their attention.

I bought Yoga For Families for myself and grandkids, and we use it together a couple times a week. My 4-year-old grandson loves the reference to different animals. The length of the workout is not too lengthy or too short for us. We love doing this together, and this is a great video for bringing families together in this way. And the instruction is simple enough for little kids to do it without an adult participating. I think this dvd should be a part of any child's activities collection.
