Summary: Not alot of yoga but got BOYS interested!!
Review: I agree there was not alot of yoga and they are not held for long but the fact that it got out 9 and 7 year old boys INTERESTED, they can practice the moves anytime they want! The great 80's hip hop is so entertaining and colorful tht it keeps their attention, we are planing on getting fingerless gloves and headbands and layer out clothes to really get into it. We homeschool and this was a great intro for the school year to get them moving! We use it as a morning warm up and its great, the kids are talking about how they want to learn hoe to breakdance and walk on their hands, at this age with all those insanely crazy cartoons at least this one was BENIFITIAL as well as fun!
By the way ALL my kids loved this 3 boys ages 4 7 and 9 and a girl who is 5! I highly recommend it if you have kids that wouldnt ever think of doing yoga.....they may just LOVE this video!

Summary: kids love it !
Review: I am a first-grade teacher, and I logged on to Amazon to write a review for this video as I have used it in my classroom successfully. I was surprised to see the German review, so I feel obligated to respond as I disagree with it. The content in Animal Yoga is not a traditional yoga class that a parent might expect. However, it gets kids involved immediately, and it is Magic. Kids learn very differently than adults, and as a teacher, I know that the first thing you must do is gain children attention if you want to teach them anything. This video does just that. It is original, and innovative, and kids love it. Highly recommended. Good use of your money, my students request this video everyday. Thank you Animal Yoga for being a positive educational tool in my classroom!

Summary: Worst possible introduction to Yoga
Review: I bought this DVD based on the three raving reviews it had. Well, I really cannot understand how it got them, and I rather have to agree with the negative one. There is hardly any yoga in this video. It is all rather goofy, with constant interruptions of the yoga poses (which are held for VERY short periods of time) by hip hop and break dance numbers - presumably to "ligthen up"? The kids found it entertaining, but as for making them feel "peaceful and relaxed" as yoga is supposed to - you can forget about that with this one. Even the final "relaxation pose" is held for just about 3 seconds and then interrupted by more goofy cartoons of animals bouncing up and down. Complete waste of my money.

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: 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: 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: Best yoga video for kids !
Review: I saw one clip on PBS and I said "Wow,"- I had to order it.
We have had the video for a couple of months. When my daughter doesn't watch it she still practices yoga moves. When is the next one coming out?

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: 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.
