Product Review: Wai Lana's Little Yogis Yoga DVD

Wai Lana's Little Yogis Fun & Healthy Yoga Volume one, is a yoga DVD series for children ages three to eight years old. This yoga series stars Wai Lana, a popular and well known Yoga teacher along with children in a scenic ocean view. Each pose starts out with a little cartoon and song, for example before the Cobra pose is introduced, a mini cartoon with a cobra snake is shown. Fun poses such as the dog wagging move and the scardey cat will also hold young children's attention to the screen. The DVD is approximately thirty minutes long and sells for $12.95.

Why I bought this product:

I ordered th Wai Lana's Little Yogis Yoga DVD for my then 3 year old daughter because she was becoming interested in exercising with me whenever I put my Pilates or Yoga tapes on. I though buying a work out tape that was made specifically for children would be fun for her.

The positives about this product:

I love how they show different mini cartoons between poses to keep young children interested in the different poses. I also love how this DVD promotes healthy habits. It's never too early to get your children active and encourage a love of exercise. Another positive feature are all the fun poses. My daughter loved rolling on her back like a beetle, wagging her tail like a dog and roaring like a lion!

The Negative about this product:

Wai Lana's thick accent and unusual tone in her voice can make it hard for young children to understand. She also talks very slowly which makes it difficult to keep the children interested. The DVD is also a little long for children under 6 years old.

Where to buy this product:

I have not been able to find this Yoga series in any of the local stores in my area, so I ordered it online. You can visit Wai Lana's personal website to order the DVD and VHS or visit sites such as Ebay and Amazon for a cheaper used copy.

Overall, I would recommend this product to other parents for their children. My daughter has a lot of fun doing her very own yoga work out. She often asks me to put the DVD on for her and loves when I participate in the poses too. I plan on buying the volume two of the Little Yogis series for my daughter this Christmas.
