DVD Reviews of Angel Bear Yoga
DVD Review: My boys loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first started watching this DVD, I was immediately disappointed. We have some Yoga Kids DVDs, and the Angel Bear Yoga DVD just didn't seem to compare. My biggest complaint was the treacle-sweet way that Christi Eley was speaking to the children in the class- I can't stand baby talk to preschoolers. I continued watching and participating, though.
And then.
I noticed that my boys (3 and 5) seemed entranced. They actually participated in all the poses, followed directions and answered questions that Christi Eley directed at the children. I was a bit astounded- it's usually VERY difficult to get them to participate in directed physical activities, whether it be a video, a game, or group class. It took many viewings of the Yoga Kids DVDs before I could coax them off the couch, and even now (despite the fact that they like the DVDs and request them by name) they aren't that interested in DOING the Yoga Kids yoga. But with Angel Bear Yoga, they were completely immersed and active with only my example to go by. I am SO pleased. The themes of listening and courage are a nice bonus in my book.
So, I recommend this DVD highly. It might not appeal to my adult sensibilities as much as a well-produced, fun and active Yoga Kids DVD. But I'm not looking for a DVD that impresses me- I am looking for a DVD that engages my children and gets them to enjoy practicing yoga. Angel Bear Yoga fits the bill for us.
DVD Review: Very Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
DVD Review: Not my cup of tea
Summary: 2 Stars
Based on others' reviews, & the whole build up of the program?- I was expecting something more. Maybe the problem was that- expectations. Very sweet, perhaps just felt a bit too contrived? Maybe your little one will enjoy, the messages are positive, just didn't click for us & my expectations.DVD Review: Raw
Summary: 5 Stars
This is agreat video if you have any interest in making raw foods a part or the total food of your diet. It give a lot to information about the benefits of eating raw and has links for further info. It is a great all around info for raw foods.DVD Review: Okay, I've seen better
Summary: 3 Stars
This moves a little slow for my daughter. The Yogakids videos seem to hold her attention better.
