Kids Yoga Adventure Videos Review and Giveaway

Introducing the Move With Me and Kids Yoga Stories Kids Yoga Adventure Book and Videos Giveaway

Enter contest at bottom of the post via the Rafflecopter online giveaway tool.

Please meet Leah Kalish, the founder of Move with Me Action Adventures and producer of the Scooter & Me Story and Movement kids yoga adventure DVDs for ages 3 to 7. I first learned of Leah’s work at the beginning of the year when her program was one of the top 10 ideas for ending childhood obesity in the Partnership for a Healthier America challenge.

My daughter and I have been practicing yoga along with Leah’s Move with Me DVDs.

What I like about the kids yoga adventure videos by Move with Me:

Based on various themes that could be integrated into the classroom (ex. ocean, zoo, outer space, and Africa)
Each video is 25 to 30 minutes long, which is just the right time to keep children’s attention
Each video includes a warm-up, story with movement, relaxation, and skill review
Parent/Teacher Guides with adventure skills summary, story lessons, and tips
Breathing techniques are integrated throughout the videos (ex. humming breath and extended exhale)
Great for beginners to yoga
Videos can be used as a springboard for learning about a specific topic (ex. watch zoo video before going to the zoo)
Features a teacher and children demonstrating the poses, so children can easily see follow along independently
Incorporates the different aspects of yoga including physical postures, character education, breathing techniques, guided visualization
Program is based on the PE Standards, Educational Research, and Brain Gym
A good resource for your home, classroom, or homeschool

To look more closely, the Coral Reef (story 8) video takes you on a journey to the beaches of Australia and into the water to see the animals that swim around the coral reef. Ten ocean animals described in the kids yoga adventure video:

Coral Reef

Manta ray – Mountain Pose (with flapping arms)

Seahorse – Warrior 1 Pose

Octopus – Standing Forward Bend

Dolphin – Dolphin Pose

Electric Eel – Locust Pose

Shark – Shark Pose

Hermit Crab – Extended Child’s Pose

Sea Turtle – Tortoise Pose

Visit Kids Yoga Poses for pose descriptions and images.

This particular video would compliment our Australian book series featuring Luke, one of our Yoga Kids, who is from Australia. Luke is the main character in Luke’s Beach Day, The ABC’s of Australian Animals, and Luke’s A to Z of Australian Animals Coloring Book.
