While you’re teaching the kids about exercise, teach them about the benefits of yoga. Wai Lana, host of the PBS seriesWai Lana Yoga, has introduced the Little Yogis Kit designed for children ages 3 to 8. Featured is a 60-minute video with 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 kid-size yoga mat with little cartoon yogis in action; a colorful, sturdy mat bag complete with an extra pocket for water and snacks; and a large, full-color cartoon poster with 21 yoga exercises. SWEAT tried out the kit on a 4-year-old and a 7-year-old and it was a fun thing to do, although the 4-year-old was as interested in watching as doing. Find the kit at better exercise video stores or go to www.wailana.com.
