D.K.
We like YogaKids Fun collection for ages 3-6 with Marsha Wenig. There are two DVDs: Yogakids ABCs DVD and YogaKids silly to calm DVD. It also comes with stickers. My son and I do them 3-4 times a week. Each DVD gives a 30 minute workout. The other 10 minutes tell more info about the program. It is divided on the menu. So it is very easy to skip the info portion. Yes, I get down on the floor and go through the workout with him. At first I felt a little silly doing some of the poses with him, but it is a great way to have fun with your kids. I prefer the Silly to calm Dvd and my son likes the ABC one better. (I personally hate doing the bow and the wheel. Both are on the ABC Dvd. I usually muddle my way through the bow, while my son goes on and on about how much better he is at yoga than mommy. And I substitute the camel for the wheel when we do the ABC Dvd. Again, my son loves being able to do something mommy can not do. ) While both Dvds will give your body a physical workout, the Silly to calm one also includes some breathing. These Dvds literally saved me from pulling my hair out everytime my son would have a temper tantrum. After we started doing them, I noticed a big difference in his ability to focus on and cope better with his feelings. When he is angry, I tell him to do the volcano and then bunny breath. I thought he would get bored after a while, but we are still going strong even after 7 months using these two Dvds. There are three or four pages of stickers. We have already finished them all, so I got his favortie stickers to use for yoga stickers now. I hope you will find something you can do together with your daughter.
