YogaKids, Vol. 2 -- ABC's for Ages 3-6
The YogaKids ABC's video is specifically designed for preschoolers -- with their interests, attention spans, and abilities in mind. YogaKids is a welcome addition to your preschooler's fitness activities, providing a great way to introduce the value of yoga to young children. The yoga poses are fun and imaginative, providing a perfect activity that promotes preschool fitness, especially flexibility.
Marsha Wenig is the instructor for the video and keeps things lively and fun -- not your typical poses, for sure. The great thing about the YogaKids video is that it keeps the activity moving along and will hold your preschooler's interest throughout. Each letter of the alphabet represents a different yoga pose, so your preschooler will learn about the letters as they participate in this fun routine.
Preschool Yoga Kids are Just Like Me!
The preschoolers in the yoga video represent different ages and abilities, with each demonstrating the poses to show how varied the poses can be, depending on flexibility. It's a wonderful variety of children, making it very easy for preschoolers to identify a child that is similar to their age, hair color, skin type, etc. The range of the preschoolers' abilities in the video also demonstrate that it's okay if poses are not done perfectly. This is especially encouraging if your child doesn't immediately master the preschool yoga poses.
Yoga Fun for the Whole Family
Get in on the fun with your preschooler -- you will enjoy it too, as will older siblings. For instance, see how fun it is to try out the following preschool yoga poses:
Hot air balloon -- fill up with air as you lift off and fly around the room, then land by deflating the air from your balloon
Kissing pose -- stretch and lean forward to kiss everyone around you
Tarzan -- who doesn't love to beat their chest and let out a Tarzan yell?
Volcano -- release any bad energy with this exercise in eruption
With practice, your preschooler will better perform the poses and increase flexibility. With the interests and abilities of young children in mind, this preschool yoga video is a fun way to introduce your preschooler to the benefits of yoga.
