Yoga Fitness for Kids Ages 7-12 [VHS]

The Best Out There!
Your children will love Yoga Fitness for Kids Ages 7-12. This is an age appropriate introduction to yoga that teaches children actual poses. What more can I say, this is the best kids yoga video out there! And if you have younger children, check out Yoga Fitness for Kids Ages 3-6.

Great stress reliever
I have a 9 yr old boy who is decidedly UNflexible, and a 6 yr old daughter who is a natural-born dancer. They both enjoy this video, and certain parts of it are challenging to either one, but not so hard that they feel defeated. I find it relieves stress, but I must add a large part of this comes from their mockery of the teacher and her pronunciation of the position names! I don't find the video particularly girly; there is an older boy on the video, and it does emphasize strength, not just flexibility. It's been a good introduction to yoga, and gets us moving. We enjoy this tape a lot!

All my children love this workout
I have a 9-year-old boy, a 7-year-old girl, and a 4-year-old boy. All of my children love doing this workout. Even though it is designed for older kids, my 4-year-old still enjoys following along as best he can. My daughter especially likes it, but I was pleasantly surprised that my oldest boy enjoys it too. I really like the instructor--she explains things thoroughly and has a patient but energetic demeanor without being cheesy or patronizing. This was just what I was looking for!

fun for all
My group of kids ages 6 -11 all love this video. It's a riot to see them all trying the different poses. They ask for this video on an "indoor day" when it is snowing or raining. Even the most awkward kids enjoy trying because it is very low key and presented as a learning experience. They are often surprised at what they can do!!

Boring and slick.
I've been practicing yoga on and off for about 3 years, and I found this video to be not kid-oriented enough. The set is lush with sweeping curtains, tall windows and chandaliers, the instructor is dressed in a buxom-enhancing babe-like fashion. Her delivery is not fun but patronizing. I'm going to keep searching because my son who is 8 wants to do yoga but found this princess girlie-style video to be completely uninspiring.
