Omolulu - Yoga for Children DVD | Kids Yoga DVD

Before purchasing this DVD I did my research and this seemed to be the best option for what I was looking for. I wanted a video that would provide minimal distractions from animations, featured children demonstrating the yoga poses, and options for different yoga routines that were between 10-20 minutes. Based on the reviews and the product description on the company's website, I decided to go with this one. However, when I found this listing, Amazon said it was currently unavailable and did not know when or if it would be available again. I contacted Omolulu directly through their website to ask where I could purchase a copy. Within MINUTES Brynne Caleda (the instructor, producer, project director) directly responded to my email to inform me that more copies were being shipped to Amazon that week. Less than a week later I was able to place my order.This DVD is exactly what I was looking for. There are 4 sequences to choose from, all of which include important breathing asanas to begin each sequence. There are also "Pose Hale" and "Breathing Hale" options to choose for children to learn individual activities. All of the poses are demonstrated by (highly skilled!) children and narrated by Ms. Caleda, who provides superb verbal instructions that are free of any jargon that may confuse a beginning student. The set designs are colorful, but not distracting, and the music included is relaxing and not over-bearing as I have experienced in other childrens' yoga programs.Between the fantastic content of the DVD and the prompt customer service of the company, Omolulu has hit every mark. My kids and I are looking forward to whatever comes next from Omolulu. I would buy from this company over and over again.

The voice-over is not the best. Hard to follow for my kids and goes too fast without helping kids to transition from pose to pose. Resulted in my kids doing it once and not wanting to bother with it again.

It is super boring with mono tone voice. It is yoga for children, they should make it fun and interesting.We have another dvd yoga for kids. At least my kid will follow some of the exercises in that one.This DVD is pretty expensive and my child won't even follow it once.

My kids liked it well enough. They like it enough to ask for it. The lady who narrates the yoga session is a bit awkward though. She is monotone and rather robotic. She seems to be disingenuous when. Also, it would have been nice for the video to have been taped on Hawaii's actual beaches or mountains rather than a painted backdrop in a studio.I like that there are different yoga session options (earth, mountain, water, etc...). I would recommend this video for young kids starting yoga if you can get passed the narrator's voice.

My daughter was experiencing stomach "discomfort". After doctor's appointments and an MRI, it was determined that nothing was physically wrong with her. After discussing this with her, I came to the conclusion that her "discomfort" was more stress/worry related than anything else. I decided she should try yoga. After reading the reviews, I decided this yoga CD would be the most appropriate for my 7 year old. After 1 week of yoga, I never heard the words "my belly hurts" again. She has been doing the yoga exercises twice a week for about 1 1/2 months. She enjoys it and no longer seems stressed!

First off, yes - the woman has a monotone voice but try to get past it. In fact, I'm glad her voice is this way and that the video isn't all bells and whistles; because if you have children who are easily distracted, then they will focus on the bells and whistles and not practicing yoga.I purchased this for our whole family to do because my oldest child has sensory issues along with ADHD / Anxiety. This was wonderful for him. He focused very well and enjoyed doing the exercises and at the end, he seemed very calm and peaceful. The children enjoy picking out which section of Yoga (Earth, Air, Water, Fire) they would like to do for the session.The sessions are calming, relaxing and can be picked up quickly. I hope you enjoy the DVD as much as my family and I do!

I bought this DVD thinking that it was filmed outside in nature. I was mistaken, it's filmed entirely inside, which was disappointing considering it was filmed in Hawaii. I wish it had used beautiful Hawaiian beaches for a backdrop. The yoga and children in the DVD are great. The narrator's voice can get annoying. She is very monotone. My children have liked doing the yoga however.

We use this video daily in my Pre-K class. Children are the example for each of the positions, which I like very much. The narrator's voice is rather monotone. The middle of my disk chipped and now I'm afraid to take it out of the player for fear it will not play the next time I need it. I don't know if this is my fault or if the disk itself is low quality. I wish it came with a digital copy so I could just save it to my computer.
