GIVEAWAY & Review: Storyland Yoga DVD



My Thoughts:


We have had Storyland Yoga for about a year now, so when I found out about the opportunity to tell my readers about it and offer a giveaway to you, I had to jump at the chance. We have tried out several other kids yoga dvds, as well as Storyland Yoga and we really enjoy Storyland Yoga. What we like best about it is:

  • They are learning lifelong habits of stretching through yoga poses.
  • They are entertained by the story.
  • They are able to remember how to perform the poses by referencing the "animal" names.
  • It is something we can do together and yoga is not just "mommy's thing".
  • Access to this dvd is great when the weather is not conducive to playing outside.
  • It is easy to follow along with and moves at a comfortable pace.
  • You have the choice of 2 programs to do, as well as some not to be missed special features.

My daughter's physical education teacher has been teaching them yoga stretches as a way of conditioning their body and helping them calm their bodies as a part of his curriculum. This teaching in the school really helped solidify to her that this is valuable and not just a tv show. We'll continue to use this dvd through the summer months when the weather is not cooperative for outdoor play or just to keep up go yoga stretching habits.



Some More Info:

Storyland Yoga is a fun-filled adventure that infuses children with an eco-conscious message. Two unique stories, “Save the Whale” and “Condor Trek” engage a child’s imagination through storytelling.

I haven't tried to do Yoga with them, but they often try to get in on the act with me while I am doing yoga myself. I think they'd love this video. I've been looking for a good kid yoga video, so thanks for sharing!

I do the yoga videos on Netflix and sometimes my kids do it with me. They don't last very long before it turns into wrestling with them, haha. (Two boys.) I'd love a kid geared video!
