 Awful! Aug 11, 2010
By Matthew Rumpke
Living in the desert southwest prevents my children from getting adequate outdoor play during the summer so I was looking for a workout that would get my children moving and allow us to have fun as a family; this was NOT that workout. The workout is way too fast paced for either a children's workout or for a beneficial yoga workout. There is no instructional section for children, or their parents for that matter, to learn the correct poses. And by the time you figure out what exactly the instructor wants you to do she has already moved on to the next series of poses. It was impossible to keep up with her. My children, ages 6 and 8, were frustrated by the fast pace of this video. I also found the pace difficult to keep up with and I am a certified fitness instructor! The verbal cueing of the instructor was lacking so you have to keep both eyes on the TV to watch what she does - kind of hard while attempting to perform yoga poses. Do not waste your money on this video. Me and my children do enjoy Denise Austin's Fit Kids workout, which is fast paced but fun and easy to follow. Gymathtics is also a great children's workout.

 A little more advanced than I wanted Jan 02, 2010
By Rachel J. Ferguson
Although not a bad yoga dvd, I was looking for something to do with my younger children, ages 3 and 5. You can tell that the voice over instructions and sound effects were added to make this video appeal to a younger audience, but it was still too challenging for younger kids and did not hold their attention.

 Love it! Nov 10, 2009
By Teresa D. Fox

I bought Yoga For Families for myself and grandkids, and we use it together a couple times a week. My 4-year-old grandson loves the reference to different animals. The length of the workout is not too lengthy or too short for us. We love doing this together, and this is a great video for bringing families together in this way. And the instruction is simple enough for little kids to do it without an adult participating. I think this dvd should be a part of any child's activities collection.

Really good for a high energy 5 year old boy Dec 08, 2010
By CivProGeek

I really don't understand the bad reviews for this DVD. Let's be realistic about expectations people. I bought this for my friend's 5 year old boy. He is high energy and sometimes emotional, especially on rainy days when he can't get to a park to run out his energy or be social with other kids. With this DVD, he follows along and has a good time while managing to stay quiet and focusing on the instruction.
Yes, his head is sometimes up watching the DVD, just like I watch the instructor sometimes in yoga class. No, he does not do the poses perfectly, just like I don't do any exercises as perfectly as the folks on any exercise DVD I own.
He gets exercise and he enjoys it quite a bit. In fact, he has asked to do a yoga for kids class with the local parks & rec. As far as I am concerned, this DVD is brilliant because the kid is learning to stretch and breathe rather than trying to blast his mom with his imaginary Star Wars Clone Wars laser.
If you expect your kid to be the next Rodney Yee by popping in this DVD... well I am sure there is a pose to help you work through that.
