Summary: Kids & Exercise
Review: This is a great addition to the video/dvd library. As a working mom, living in the city its hard to find ways to bring exercise into my son's routine. Its not like it was when I was growing up when you'd head off on your bike in the morning for a day of active adventures. I'm constantly scheduling activity and exercise into the day - to help keep weight under control and create healthy exercise habits - this video is a huge help. Its a great way to get kids interested in yoga and in taking care of their bodies. My son especially likes having the "hip hop" breaks . He's looking forward to more videos like this.

Summary: Very entertaining!
Review: My two year old twin boys loved this video. They really enjoyed the catchy music and colorful scenes. They also enjoyed pointing out different animals and watching other children doing yoga poses. From start to finish they were captivated by this video.

Summary: Kids love this video!!
Review: I was fortunate to witness this video being shown to about a dozen kids, mostly age 8-10. The video is really slick, clever and well done. It is also really funny in places. However, what impressed me most was the reaction of the kids who were watching the video. They really got into it; and started interacting with the video. It really grabbed their interest. This video is an excellent introduction to yoga for kids who have no prior exposure. It shows the kids that yoga can be really cool.

Summary: Gag a maggot!
Review: I got this dvd because of all the good reviews I'd seen here. I couldn't believe what was actually on it! It was the children's program from my worst nightmares. The music was awful and jangly, the pictures jumped around every other minute and the sets were horribly garish and cheesey. The instructors are three adults doing a poor job of pretending to be hip kids with squeaky voices and children's clothes. When adults pretend to be kids for adults its bad enough, when they pretend to be kids for kids its worse (the kids are never fooled) but when they pretend to be hip kids for kids it's time to call out the firing sqad.Only about 5 minutes of the video actually presents yoga postures. The rest is taken up with a stupid setup and a lot of hip hop dancing. My children love Sara Ivanhoe's Yoga for Dummies and I was hoping this would be something like that for kids, but you could have blinked and missed the little bit of yoga there was. The postures that were presented weren't well explained, and I had to force myself to not stop the dvd and explain how to do the pose correctly without hurting yourself. My children are 3 and 5. They didn't get anything out of it. If your children love hip hop, have never even heard the term "yoga" before and have an attention span measured in milliseconds this dvd might work for you. Otherwise, spend your money on something better like "Be a Hula Girl".

Summary: My Daughter Age 6 LOVES it!
Review: My daughter calls to me when she spots an Animal Yoga Break on PBS. I did some research on the program, and after reading a couple of reviews, I decided to order the DVD for her. In the one week we have owned it, I think she has watched the DVD 50 times trying to master the poses. It is great to see her so excited about physical movement.

Summary: The kids don't like it
Review: I have a small home daycare and thought this would be great to get the kids up and moving during the long cold winter. Well they range in age from 4 1/2 to 2 and they all hate it. It's not that long and no children were left even looking at it by the time it ended. There were too many weird interuptions and not enough movement and following along. I would not recommned this at all.

Summary: my 2-year old likes this; I don't
Review: This is a poor introduction to yoga. On the plus side, my daughter seems engaged by some of it, and it does encourage movement and teaches some fun poses, but it is way too fast-paced and busy, with constant silly interruptions. The story line is practically non-sensical. I am amazed that it even claims on the package to be appropriate for children with ADH. I am not an ADH expert, but, this video is unfocused. The music is a bit raucous and irritating. I was also hoping for more real footage of African animals, but there is hardly any. Overall, disappointing!

Summary: Great physical activity and captivating for children
Review: I love this video. I'm not the only one, my son is continually asking for it to be played; not just once, but over and over again. It's a great way for him to get up and move, unlike most every other video you can buy. He is only 2 and has already started to learn Yoga. He anticipates each new part of the video and moves along with the music and the poses. The music is so groovy, I can't seem to get it out of my own head. I'm caught singing at my job all the time. I love that it is up to date and can keep the attention of children of many ages.

Summary: educationnal and fun !
Review: Whenever we go anywhere, a Sponge Bob and an Animal Yoga DVD must come with my 3 yr. old son. He won't leave home without them.
We were in a restaurant the other day when he performed the breakdance move he learned from this video. Sometimes, I'll notice that he will try a yoga position to occupy himself while I am cooking in the kitchen or busy on the phone. He is definately learning valuable skills from watching the yoga video.
When is the next Animal Yoga DVD coming out?
