Reviewer: "Our children are ages 1, 2, and 7. They all enjoy various parts of the video. Our one year old will do dog pose or various other parts of the poses as he watches our older two watch the video. Our 2 year old will walk up to me and start doing yoga poses (warrior, tree, dog) that she learned while watching the video. Our 7 year old often pulls out the video when she needs some "time". The video is well paced and well explained to young children of all ages."
