Aaliya

Yoga is calm­ing for the mind, body, and soul. I have recently started doing yoga and am amazed at how much more cen­tered I feel. After feel­ing the effects on myself I set out to find a yoga dvd that could help my kids find the same peace and bal­ance. I came across Move With Me Yoga DVD’s and con­tacted them about doing a blog review. Their cus­tomer ser­vice is excel­lent and I received prompt and per­sonal replies. They sent me their award win­ning yoga dvd called The Birth­day Gift. The Birth­day Gift DVD increases strength and resilience.

I first breezed through the dvd to get a feel for it. I was really unsure whether Aaliya or Deen would like it. While I was tak­ing a quick look at the DVD. Aaliya was sit­ting next to me and observing.

A few days later:
Mama: Aaliya, would you like to watch a yoga DVD?
Aaliya: Yes Mama! The one with the lit­tle peo­ple like me!
Mama: Lit­tle peo­ple? Oh… Kids!

Move With Me Yoga DVD’s are not just exer­cise DVD’s. They are move­ment story adven­tures that invite kids to tell the story with their whole bod­ies. They help kids develop fit­ness, bal­ance, coor­di­na­tion, direc­tion fol­low­ing skills, and focus. Yoga helps kids to calm and cen­ter them­selves when frus­trated, angry, scared, sad, con­fused, or over-stimulated.

This yoga DVD was also great right before bed­time to allow the kids to cen­ter them­selves and unwind.

Aaliya loves to do yoga while watch­ing The Birth­day Gift and often asks for me to put it on. Move With Me Yoga dvd’s are rec­om­mended for chil­dren aged 3 and up but my 2 and a half year old was fine doing it too.

I was given this dvd for free to review but all opin­ions are true and based on my chil­dren and my per­sonal expe­ri­ence with the item. Pic­tures speak volumes.
