Yoga By The Dozen Review and Giveaway!


"At Yoga By The Dozen our mission is to promote a healthy lifestyle within kids regardless of fitness level. Through yoga we were able to create a non-competitive, FUN environment that teaches kids about body awareness, strength and flexibility. As yoga develops their strength, flexibility and concentration, it paves the way for a life-long tradition of health and fitness. "

Yoga By The Dozen was kind enough to send Lovebug and I their DVD to try out. I have loved doing yoga since high school. It's something I find very relaxing. I don't get the chance to do it often enough anymore.

When I first read about Yoga By The Dozen, I was intrigued. I'd been hoping to find a way to get Lovebug interested in yoga as well. And I thought this could very well be that bridge!


The instructor in the video, JoAnna and her 12 friends, guide you along learning 12 poses and 12 new words (the names of the poses). The video starts off with some fundamentals of yoga and shows off the awesome T-shirt!


Lovebug didn't really pay attention to this part, after all, she is only 18 months. She did enjoy watching the other little kids introduce themselves. She did "om" along with the DVD but after that I lost her to her babydolls. I kept going along with it, and she would venture back and forth, occasionally checking out what I was doing. If nothing else, it piqued her interest!

I love how JoAnna makes Yoga very kid friendly. She explained all of the moves and poses in a way that little ones can understand, follow, and still think it's fun! My favorite instruction was for the kids to sit "criss cross yoga sauce!" Any school age child will know that.

I definitely enjoyed the video, and I know as my daughter gets a little bit older, she'll become more interested in it. Yoga By The Dozen sells the DVD, along with T-shirts, yoga mats, and more! This is a must have for any parent trying to interest their child in yoga. Namaste!


Yoga By The Dozen has generously offered to give one Moma Lovebug reader the DVD and T-shirt!

My daughter would love the trikanasana best. She already does a variation on that from her imagination.
