DVD Reviews of Yoga Kids: For Ages 3-6
DVD Review: My 2.5-year-old loves it
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is two-and-a-half, and she loves this video.
~PARTICIPATION~
My daughter was already interested in yoga, so I wanted to find a program she could do by herself. I hoped this video would help her exercise a bit more.
The first couple times she watched it, she was nervous and intimidated. But as she got used to the video, and as she felt more comfortable with it (you know how toddlers adore repetition), she began to participate. She now follows along with the entire video, and she wants to do it every day. She's actually pretty great at yoga, especially considering she's a tiny kid!
~FORMAT~
Each pose is a separate segment, and each pose mimics an animal (snake pose, flamingo pose, etc.). So, as other reviews have mentioned, it's not a fluid routine. But my kid is two years old -- she couldn't do an uninterrupted routine on her own. She loves watching and mimicking the animals; it keeps her engaged and makes her excited about doing the poses. It's not a chore or an exercise for her -- it's a fun game. That's a plus in my book.
~RELIGIOUS OVERTONES~
There's not much Hinduism in the video, but there's some New-Age or visualization sentiments -- but nothing extreme, indoctrinating, or weird. It's more like, "Imagine you're holding the hands of every child on earth and together you create world peace..." (not verbatim) or "Listen to the sound of your breath inside of you, flowing like the wind, like the waves... you are one with the breeze, the waves, the birds. You are love" (close to verbatim).
The end of the video might cause concern, but it's fairly tame. The kids do a meditation pose and chant "Ohm" repeatedly. The teacher explains (verbatim), "Did you know that everything has an energy? The yogis say that Ohm is the sound of all things -- kids, grown-ups, rocks, animals, trees, plants, and people are working together in harmony and peace. This is the sound of Ohm. Ohm: One sound, one people. That sounds beautiful."
Then the kids sing, "I am you and you are me; I am part of all I see. Namaste. Namaste. Namaste. I am the light and the light is me. Namaste. Namaste." [etc]
