Over the years, I have experienced the benefits of yoga in a variety of ways and wanted to share that with my kids. The real challenge was in finding a yoga video they were engaged in enough to actually experience the benefits themselves. That is, until I found Cosmic Kids Yoga. Thanks to Jamie’s wonderful storytelling, the kids are hooked! Over the summer, we tested out different videos each week, and once the school year started, I surprised the girls with their own fun yoga mats.
I notice that when Evelyn does yoga, she is more in control of her body and emotions for the rest of the day. Her focus is improved and her mood is lifted. Both she and Eloise ask for yoga on a nearly daily basis and I am so happy I can count this as PE for homeschool. Its a wonderful alternative to going outside on days when it is just too hot. And while I am looking forward to allowing the girls to play outside in the rain this fall and winter, I love that I have an indoor option ready for the days that I don’t feel like dealing with mud.

The girl’s yoga mats are Gaiam kids yoga mats in “Chomper” (shark) and Seahorse. I allowed each of them to choose their own design from the 11 designs available. It’s always interesting to see what they choose. I definitely did not expect Eloise to choose the shark. She has pretended that the shark is eating her feet on more than one occasion. So cute! I expected Evelyn to pick something mermaid or sea-related, so the seahorse was not a surprise. It has been fun to watch them both try to “pop” the bubbles in the designs on their mats.
