Yoga for kids?

iRun4wine · November 2009

Anyone know of any yoga videos that are specifically designed for kids? I direct and After School Program and we have some adult Yoga & Pilates DVDs but the kids aren't really that into them because they were too challenging, and geared towards adults. We used to have a Yoga DVD made for kids, but it's gone missing. Ideally though, I'd like to find something on the internet, maybe even on YouTube (something free!) that we could use. Our program is waiting to hear if we are receiving funding, so in the meantime, I don't really have money to spend on DVDs. :ohwell:

Anyone have any thoughts?

It seems there are a ton of videos for yoga for kids.

Edit: Whoops! I didn't read the last part there. Let me go be internet savvy and get back to you.

Your library probably has some you could check out to see what would work best for you. We do yoga with kids as part of some library programming. They *love* the book My Daddy is a Pretzel and the Yoga Pretzel cards you can get to accompany the book. Storytime Yoga is another great book that contains tons of yoga activities for kids! Have fun!

Thanks!! What age group is the My Daddy is a Pretzel geared towards?

It's a picture book, but we use it with kids ranging in age from about 4 years through 12 (with a couple of younger and older kids thrown in). We conduct family programming and a lot of the grown-ups love it, too!

:bigsmile: Check with the library. I do not own a single work out DVD...my library has over 200 to choose from...so I'm never lacking. My daughter is really fond of A Child's Way To Yoga it's produced by A Way To Yoga Inc. She's 6 and she loves it.
