YOGA KIDS - Yoga Kids is the BEST children's Yoga Video available today.  It makes yoga fun and accessible for children ages 3-9.  The children in the video are the yoga instructors for most postures.  This is fun, entertaining, and delightful.  It is very reasonable priced ($10 to $12 or so) 

EIEIYOGA - This video is for children age 2-7.  If the children are older than 7, this may not appeal to them, but it is good for the little ones.  Yoga Oki-Doki leads the children through a series of Yoga poses with Yogi's friends - a 7 foot tall Rastafarian Rooster (complete with dreadlocks) called "Rasta the Rooster", and a bovine "Miss Piggy" called "How Now the Mooooo Cow" teach the kids how to "play yoga".  The style of this video are reminiscent of the Captain Kangaroo Children's show.  The yoga instruction in this video is not as good as Yoga Kids, but it is entertaining for children.  Price is about $13.

Hatha Yoga for Kids, by Kids by the Children of Yogaville This is pure Hatha Yoga by young people who know it well. The clear photographs will inspire children to try these asanas (postures) themselves. The text is simple and direct; it speaks to kids in their own language. The youngsters in this book are good at Hatha and have fun doing it. The regular practice of Hatha Yoga by children can help them to experience happy, healthy, successful lives.  I feel that this is the BEST yoga book I have found, but it takes Amazon.com a couple of weeks to send it to you, since they do not usually have it in stock.  Cost $14 


Yoga For Children by Mary Stewart  Children from 3-12 can enjoy gentle, fun-filled exercises from the experts--no matter where they live or what their abilities areNice feature of this book is that is shows Yoga Poses that Parents and Children can do together.  The Children are the Models for the Yoga Poses, but the text is written more for an adult to help guide the child into the pose.  Great photos - very clear instructions.  About $13.  

Yoga for Children by Stella Weller  These exercises provide even the shyest and least athletically-inclined children with the opportunity to express their feelings and give free rein to their imagination through body movement.  $14  I like the Mary Stewart Book (above) better, but this is also a good Children's Yoga book!
