Wai Lana's Little Yogis

Geared for children ages 3 to 8, this delightful introduction to yoga features noted instructor Wai Lana, who effectively uses songs and child-friendly explanations (“be like a tree”; “roar like a lion”) to encourage kids to find the fun, as well as the health benefits, of traditional yoga poses. Children of various ages demonstrate how to do the poses, and while some of the younger children are shown “wandering” more than exercising, this actually gives parents reasonable expectations for what their children may accomplish at different ages. Parents will also appreciate many of the explanations of the possible benefits of the exercises, ranging from anger management to relaxing before sleep. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (K. Sullivan)
