I agree with the points about choppiness and lack of form instruction that the previous reviewers have mentioned, but I just want to add my own experience with this tape. My children are very young (2 and 5), and they both really enjoy this tape. Granted, it is not serious yoga, but I think that it can give the very young child an appreciation for yoga that will continue into adulthood. It presents yoga as very nonintimidating, and makes it fun for little ones. My two year old really enjoys showing people Downward Dog pose, and my 5 year old is working on his balance with Tree Pose. This video fits what I was looking for in a yoga video for the very young child.

Instructor Comments:
Very neutral, perhaps a bit annoying to adults. Kids won't mind. She definitely looks and talks like a mom. Not much attention is payed to form, but with the target age group this particular type of instruction would probably be wasted.
