Yoga by the Dozen DVD Review.

I’m looking for Yoga DVD’s for children. I get asked a lot what I’d recommend. Well the folks at Yoga By The Dozen, allowed me to review their DVD and here are the results. A+!!!

Yoga By Yhe Dozen DVD Review.

I love how this DVD is setup. 12 basic poses with the teacher, then teacher with the children in a magic yoga circle.

The teacher demonstrating the pose.
A child coming to the center of the magic circle to do the yoga pose , often with a count down of staying in the pose.
The teacher asking what the sanskrit name means in english, or saying the english name of the pose, and asking the sanskrit name.
Then the teacher cuing the children to come into the pose, then switching sides, then ending in Criss Cross Yoga Sause pose.

I think I could actually use most of these basic poses in a Vacation Bible School setting (20-30 minutes each class), with the children learning and doing yoga. This is as much as a yoga to do with your children DVD, as it is for me, a learning tool, of how to start teaching yoga poses to children, and have it be fun!

I highly recommend this DVD for you and your children, and if you are a yoga teacher, venturing out into teaching yoga to children.

Poses: Warrior I, Warrior II, Warrior III, Tree, Triangle, Camel, Dancer, Half Moon Pose, Dolphin Pose, Crow Pose, Firefly Pose, Wheel/Bridge Pose and Resting Pose with a cool Namaste’ Singing Song at the end.
