This was mediocre
I bought this to do Yoga with our three year old but there isn't much continuity. It is very broken up. It doesn't flow.

Too slow!
I ordered this video for my children, ages 3 1/2 and just-turned 2. The poses themselves are great - explained in a way that the kids are able to do and in an enjoyable fashion. I often see my children doing the "dog" pose at random times during the day. They love that one and it is great for their balance. In general, the poses are definitely more age-appropriate for the 3 1/2 year old than the 2 year old. The problem with the video is lots and lots and lots of talking. In between each pose, they discuss what it is good for, etc. These explanations are WAY too long, and are really unnecessary for the children. They just want to get on with it! They often lose interest and wander off during these talking segments. If I stick with it and do the program with them, they will sometimes rejoin me when he starts actually doing something again, but as often as not they don't. The video would have been much better if the explanations of how breathing works, what body part benefits from a pose, etc. were grouped in a "parent segment" separate from the actual workout.

Yoga video
I bought this video to introduce yoga to my son and he enjoyed the video. I found it a little slow and somewhat distracting (I am used to a more quiet environment during yoga) but my son liked it and the distractions were a form of entertainment for him. He talked about it for days after. All in all, I was satisfied but I will keep searching for a shorter (yes it was extremely long) more structured video.

Lions and tigers and bears, Oh MY!
I got this video mainly for my 4 year old daughter. We borrowed it from the library and she loved it so much we had to buy it. Whenever Gabby is feeling too restless & giddy, I pop this in & we do a few movements. My 2 year old son also has fun TRYING the poses! Of course, the lion is the favorite!

Kids will love it--through 2nd grade
My kids began doing yoga in PE class at school this past year--about the same time I began doing yoga. Many yoga DVDs are just above kid level (ability and interest-wise) unless the child has been doing yoga for awhile. I can see kids loving this--the breaks are humorous and allow kids a breather. It's a fun way to get children to exercise and to learn yoga poses. Of course they will move past this level in time, but it's a nice way to maintain their interest. I can see kids up through 2nd grade (and even into 3rd) enjoying this video. I also recommend Yoga Fitness for Kids ages 7-12 with Leah Kalish for elementary school age students--it's for kids but more serious while being fun, and seeing children their age (and older) doing the poses (and struggling with them, sometimes, too!) helps their self-esteem.
