Wai Lana, host of the PBS series Wai Lana Yoga, has released the Little Yogis Kit specifically designed for children ages 3 to 8. Fun, safe, easy, and convenient, the kit provides everything a “little yogi” needs to get started on the path to a long, healthy life. The kit features a 60-minute video with the warm and personable Wai Lana and several “little yogis” pretending to be cobras, bears, butterflies, bridges, trees, bows and arrows, and lots of other fun things as they perform various yoga asanas. The kit also includes a yoga mat, yoga mat bag complete with an extra pocket for water and snacks, and poster with 21 yoga exercises.
Wai Lana’s yoga kit engages children while simultaneously helping them to stretch and strengthen their bodies, sharpen their minds, and improve their balance and coordination.
“If kids are going to watch TV, they may as well watch something that’s good for them …” says Wai Lana, “and with child obesity a growing worldwide problem, what better way to get kids exercising than making it fun for them? You truly are helping them develop healthy habits that will continue benefiting them for the rest of their lives.”
Yoga is becoming a fun, bonding, and de-stressing activity for both kids and parents. This thought was echoed by Elayne Blythe, president of Film Advisory Board, in presenting Wai Lana’s Little Yogis video with its Award of Excellence for quality family/children’s entertainment. Ms. Blythe said, “This tape is great for children—but adults who are newcomers to yoga can benefit from this video as well! Great exercises for all ages!”
