I have been doing yoga for many years. Ever since my daughter was a toddler, she would try to imitate the poses. Now, thanks to Storyland Yoga she can do yoga for kids. The DVD is a winner of the Parent’s Choice Approved, Mom’s Choice Gold, Dr. Toy’s Best Green Product and Creative Child Magazine “Preferred Choice” in the Environmentally Friendly Category.
Storyland Yoga features two stories, “Save the Whale” and “Condor Trek”, that engage a child’s imagination through storytelling. Kids learn yoga postures by becoming part of the story and imitating animals. The DVD is for ages 3-8 and not only teaches children proper yoga poses, but also teaches children how important it is to be conscious of our environment.

Review: My daughter was really excited to pull out my yoga mat and give the DVD a try. The DVD is really great. She was engaged the entire time and enjoyed both the imaginative "play" as well as the poses. It was really neat to see how the instructor taught classic poses by encouraging children to act like certain animals or do certain activities. For example, the warrior pose was demonstrated as riding a surf board. Even the sun salutation is included by having the children imitate different animals.
Cartoons are occasionally included to help tell the story. The instructor, Ahmed Fahmey, has a great way of engaging children without totally annoying adults (a very rare gift!). Bella was totally into both tracks and fully participated. She also did the poses really well, much better than when she tries to imitate me. I asked Bella for her opinion and she stated, "I liked it a lot. I liked it when I got to help push the whale back into the ocean".
