Storytime Yoga: The Peddler’s Dream – Yoga DVD for Children
Product Description
Parents’ Choice Foundation Recommended Award Winner for 2008! As seen on PBS across the country, Sydney Solis’ Storytime Yoga enchants children ages 3-8 with the English folk tale of The Peddler’s Dream. Told with beautiful stick puppets, children then re-enact the story with yoga poses and “become” the peddler, following their own hearts and dreams. Lalita the Latina Ladybug teaches Spanish, and Jean-Jacques the pirate teaches geography and philosophy. Mediation, music, relaxation and peace education round out this enjoyable half hour.

My daughter is not yet three and yet I showed the DVD to her today and she cried to have it played two more times today. She couldn’t get enough. I don’t do yoga yet wish I had taken it up years ago and thus became motivated to expose my daughter at an early age. I was washing dishes and watched her try all the poses…..of course she wasn’t doing them perfectly even though they are simple but the fact that she was fascinated and was translating the information into her body was so cute to watch. And it was a bonus that Spanish is also gently introduced. And the message is profound yet simple enough for a child to digest. Bravo!

I showed this to my 4 year olds, this past weekend, and it was a hit. Sydney is awesome and it is so much more than just yoga.
My only reservation is that the time between poses can be a little short. They moved through them quickly, so maybe more appropriate for children that have been doing yoga for a while. I’m sure mine will adjust once they’ve seen it a few more times.

My son is the high arousal type. He craves movement, movement and more movement. So you can imagine what it’s like getting him to follow his bedtime routine. Well, the Peddler’s Dream has been the greatest addition to our routine. He is only 4, so I do the yoga poses with him and replay sections of the DVD slowly to give him time to get each movement. After Yoga, he is calm, confident and happy.

What can i say? – My daughter absolutely LOVES the “The Peddler’s Dream” DVD. It’s loaded with fun, smart stuff for kids, and it’s one of the few times you will feel happy that your child is in front of the television.
The yoga poses combined with the beautiful story keep her interest by keeping her involved with interactive fun! In this sad time of rising childhood obesity, I am happy to have found a component in keeping my daughter active and healthy.
Plus, I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand some of the “educational” shows out there that “teach” languages. Instead I’d much rather my child pick up some spanish and french from Lalita the Ladybug and Jean-Jacques the Pirate!!
You’ll be very satisfied with this purchase.
