Kids Musical Yoga: Let's Go to the Jungle Review

this video is short, and it is odd, and i actually wanted to turn it off immediately becuase i didn't like it... but to my surprise, my twin toddlers wouldn't allow me to turn it off, and in fact, have been requesting to watch it every single day since we got it... there are yoga poses to do, they pretend to be a snake or a tree or a balloon, it is just disguised as playing along to the songs, so maybe that is why the kids like it so much... there is some deep breathing, some relaxation, including savasana pose (spelling?)... i think for the toddler age group, this is great, it covers some good material, and in a way that my children can't get enough of, whereas i can't get them to watch any of the other yoga videos with me, let alone participate!!!!

Lots of music, little yoga - Sarah Feinstein - Chicago, IL
I was pretty disappointed with this video, but my daughter (age 2) seemed to like it. There is a lot of singing and a long intro, but little substance. There is little yoga, so there isn't much for kids to follow along with. As other reviews mentioned, it has a short running time.






Please, do not waste your money - A. C. Quintero - usa
I wish I would've read the 1 and 2 stars reviews, they are 100% right, this is a very short DVD, only really 15 to 20 min of a very poorly made sing along dvd, the songs are really not that great, there is no yoga at all, not excersice, for example you will find that they go to the jungle and they see a monkey, so you imagine they will do a yoga pose, NO they just get bunch of bananas that pass along to share.... my kids just look at each other like what do we supose to do now, go grab bananas??? Even the kids in the DVD do not look like they are having a great time, not blame, the teachers are not very energetic happilly conducting them. I just wish I could get my money back.... Good yoga DVD is the ABC yoga made for Yoga Kids with Marsha WenigYoga Kids, Vol. 2: ABC's for Ages 3-6, best yoga Kids DVD, my sons love it



A little weird and disappointing - Lrn4Lf -
I agree with a previous reviewer that Yoga Kids (vol 2) is far better than this series of yoga videos for kids. I found this series (Kids Musical Yoga Lets Go To The Ocean/Jungle) to be disappointing. I like the original music and found myself singing the tunes later (any may consider getting the CD). But there was very little yoga - maybe 6 poses or so (and odd ones at that). There was a lot of talking, way too much talking, by the instructor who had a condescending manner or was just a little weird.

This video had potential if it has way more poses and songs, and way less talking.

Yoga Therapy for Back Pain Review

NOTE: I received a free review copy of this DVD from the web site Metapsychology Online Reviews; a longer version of my review appears on that site.

Yoga Therapy for Back Pain provides a series of gentle, therapeutic yoga practices for back care. Instructor Emily Klingerman's training is consistent with the tradition of T. Krishnamacharya; her approach is similar to another school of yoga descended from that same yoga master, Viniyoga, in that she incorporates dynamic movement within the postures. There are a total of 12 asana practices plus a separate meditation segment on this DVD. The Main Menu of the DVD divides the practices by condition and into routines of varying length as follows:

General Back: 17min--32min--44min

Upper Back: 15 min--30 min

Bulging Disk: 17 min--31 min

Sacro-Iliac Join: 15 min--30 min

Sciatic Pain: 17 min--30 min

Chair Practice: 20 min

Meditation: 10 min

Although the option for different length practices is nice, there is actually NOT quite as much variety as there appears at first glance. All of the practices are made up of shorter sequences which are strung together, and if you try the the longest routine, the 44-Minute General Back, you have basically done everything that is available on the DVD (with the exception of the Chair and Meditation practices). All of the practices are filmed in a featureless white studio; soft music plays in the background. Klingerman teaches via voiceover (she does not mirror-cue), and she is shown practicing alongside fellow yoga therapist Arturo Peal, who displays modifications for some of the postures. Klingerman recommends the following props to use with the DVD: a strap, 2-3 blankets, 2 blocks (optional), and a bolster (can substitute blankets). All of the poses are performed on the floor, in either a reclined, seated, or kneeling position. The majority of the routines begin with a focus on breathing deeply into belly, and all end with an approximately 2 ½ minute relaxation with the knees over a bolster.

The DVD case states that these practices are designed to "increase mobility and reduce pain." Overall, these exercises would be suitable for a wide audience, providing an excellent means for alleviating pain as well as promoting improved flexibility and range of motion.

Yoga Therapy for Back Pain Overview

Yoga Therapy for Back Pain includes 13 routines to help restore proper function to the entire back. These safe and gentle exercises increase mobility and reduce pain. This beautifully filmed DVD features five 15 minute & five 30 minute routines for the upper back, sciatic pain, bulging disk and sacro-iliac joint pain. Each condition is addressed separately, so you will get the proper care for your condition. There is also a general back maintenance routine in three time options (17, 32, & 44 min.) as well as a 20 min. Chair Yoga routine and a short Guided Meditation for relaxation. Whatever the level of your pain, or if you just want to strengthen your back, this DVD has the safe and appropriate therapy for you! If you are not sure exactly what type of back pain you have, this DVD also explains the different types so you can have a better understanding of your pain. Filmed in Santa Barbara, California in high definition.

A yoga practice that really helps! - LastMinuteShopper - San Francisco Bay Area
I recently developed recurring low back spasms that caused pain and stiffness and prevented me from enjoying virtually any activity. Chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy helped but the pain would just return in a day or two. In the past I've found yoga to be too ambitious for my 50+, stiff body. But I ordered this DVD based entirely on the Amazon reviews, and because I was desperate and didn't want to take drugs. When the DVD arrived, I had been in constant pain for three weeks. After the first session with this DVD, I felt better and in five days, I was no longer in any discomfort. I resumed walking, dancing and all other activities. I also felt more relaxed, calm and centered because of the meditative quality of the sessions. The practice is easy to follow each day, and I really appreciated that I can choose the session length to fit my busy schedule. I also purchased the Viniyoga DVDs by Gary Kraftsow, but find that I prefer this one so far. I highly recommend this DVD even if you have no yoga experience, or are concerned that yoga postures will be too difficult.



Excellent product - Jan Ozer - Galax, VA USA
I'm 5 years post micro-discectomy L5/S1, and numbness was working its way back into the affected leg. Started using this DVD every morning about 4 weeks ago, and numbness is mostly gone and overall flexibility noticeably improved. Lower back pain, which has been a minor but nagging issue, is almost all gone.

The DVD offers multiple options with different lengths, so I don't get bored, the pacing is very good, so you have time to really stretch, and the narrator has an awesome voice, so it's fun to listen to. This is a stretching DVD, though, and doesn't really focus on strengthening your back muscles, for which I bought another DVD (Viniyoga Therapy for the Low Back, Sacrum & Hips with Gary Kraftsow). Using the two interchangeably has been great - one day stretching, the next strengthening.

I was passive about my recovery for 5 years - doing lots of aerobics and general weight lifting and stomach work, but very little back-focused stretching or strengthening. These two DVDs have helped me come a long way in a short time, and I'll never be passive about my back again.



Highly Recommended - reader - st. louis, mo
Absolutely love this program. This is a restorative yoga practice. I love that the menu gives you options of various lengths to target specific back issues. A wonderful educational segment is included. This is the most effective progam I have found for my back thus far, I have several similiar DVDs. I'm very glad I made this purchase. I've found that doing yoga at home is more effective and safer than going to a chiropractor. Not to mention it is a lot cheaper.
