The thing about kids --and I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume it's not just my own who are like this-- is that they don't always have the patience to hold yoga postures or meditate. But they
certainly like stories. And excitement. And good old-fashioned silliness.
Not exactly three things I think of when I think of yoga, but that's exactly what I love about this new yoga DVD for kids.
Ahmed Fahmy, a certified children's yoga instructor, is a gentle presence who isn't afraid of being silly. On the StorylandYoga DVD, he teaches yoga through the telling of a couple ofenvironmental stories. And he seems to embrace kids for what they re: energetic balls of fun.
Okay, I'll admit, it's hard not to chuckle a bit at the blatant eco-messages like when they drive in their electric cars or push really hard to save a beached whale, but hey, I don't think the kids will take issue with it. And truly, if it means they might ask about these things later, that's not such a bad thing.
So thenext time you and your kids want to get your yoga on, grab this DVD, sit back, and enjoy the happiness and hippie-ness that ensues.
