Do you have a little who just doesn't want to pry themselves from the electronics? Are they glued to the television? Do you have to argue with them to go play outside or do something productive? If your kids are like mine (lazy slugs), I can't recommend this enough!
I came across Cosmic Kids Yoga on a moms group on Facebook and checked it out. I went to the YouTube channel and found a variety of yoga videos. I found one that looked interesting and turned it on. My kids were instantly intrigued. They followed along, and for once, my house was quiet! And my kids were getting exercise!
The yoga instructor's name is Jaime. She has a British accent, and can sometimes be difficult for us Americans to understand, but it's really not too hard because she speaks very clearly. In each video, she tells a story. Some are popular stories, like the Wizard of Oz, and some are made up. The kids follow along with the story, and she incorporates yoga poses into the story to make it fun. It really is brilliant! Even I had fun doing yoga with the kids!

After watching and participating along with our first video, I decided to visit her website. There is a ton of stuff to do! You can search videos by energy level (Active, Calm, or Focus), length of video, or category. The categories are Stories, Mindfulness, Yoga, Relaxation, and Dance. You'll have to visit each one to see what they are and find ones you like best. I usually choose active, under 15 minutes, in the Yoga category when we have a little extra time during the day or when the kids are being rambunctious and need to be calmed down.

She also offers training courses for adults to become kids yoga instructors. If you're not sure if you want to spend $297, you can first take her free 60-minute crash course to learn the basics of kids yoga. If you decide you like it and want to pursue it, you can sign up for the paid course, Getting Started in Kids Yoga. IT is 100% online and taught by Jaime. It includes lifetime access, personal feedback form Jaime, and a professional qualification. A couple other courses she offers is Conquering Class Management and Making a living as a Kids Yoga Teacher.

After you have explored the website and tried some videos, check out the resources and Cosmic Kids shop. The photo to the right shows one of the products in the shop. It's a 24-page PDF with games, coloring pages, and crafts. And it's free! If your kids get hooked on this, like mine, they will for sure love this free printable! There are other free printables, such as yoga poses posters, too.
