I have the 1996 version, so maybe they added more diversity to the 2000, but with the white kid on the cover I doubt it. Didn’t even watch past the intros. It was nice of them to give each kid’s name, but one brown child from India and the rest so very, very white rated instant turn off in my house. Ridiculous and unacceptable racial mix and lack of awareness for Yoga, a disicpline that is multi-cultural by definition, but often too upper class white in the US. There is a racism of exclusion and this video exemplifies it.

I think the recommended age group is a little off. I bought this for my niece an nephew ages 3 and 4 respectively. It is definitely not appropriate for them.

My boys often see me working out at home to various DVDs, including yoga. My four year old (who is still at home with me during the day) often attempts various exercises, but quits when the grown-up routines get “too hard”. I bought Yoga Kids to encourage him with exercise at a child’s ability level.
Yoga Kids was definitely kid-friendly. The catchy songs and animal shots were entertaining and kept my son’s interest. The poses were not too difficult and I could tell he was enjoying the fact that he could do most of them.
I really would have liked the DVD if it weren’t for the uncomfortable spiritualist “yoga theology” infused throughout it. I’m sure it would be subtle to some people, but I just can’t get used to the idea of my kid sitting cross-legged in a meditative position chanting “Om”.
Call me a traditionalist, it’s just not for me.

My 4 year old daugther loves it! She loves to watch it and practices alone and with me.
I highly recommend it.

I got this DVD as part of a set of 3 by the same makers. I think all of them are a little long for my 3 1/2 year old but he loves them! He asks to do Yoga Kids. He doesn’t do all the poses and rarely stays in the same room the whole time (roughly 30 minutes per DVD.) His favorite is volume 2 the ABC’s of yoga where the kids act like animals and cars among other things. Overall we are happy with it.
