Wai Lana, host of the long-running PBS series Wai Lana Yoga, has created a 60-minute video for children. Her young students cheerfully move as she does—stretching, lengthening their spines, and having fun all the while. The video is part of a kit that includes a child-size yoga mat, a colorful bag for water and snacks, and a poster depicting 21 yoga positions. Striking poses a bit more actively and imaginatively than adults do in yoga class, the children (between the ages of 3 and 8) join Lana in becoming the outward equivalent of a butterfly, a cobra, a tree, a tail-wagging dog that changes into a Halloween cat, a bear, an elephant, and other intriguing creatures from nature.
