Reviewer: Elayne Blythe, Film Advisory Board President
"... an award-winner! Charming, with beautiful scenery. Great for children—but adults who are newcomers to yoga can benefit from this video as well! Great exercises for all ages! What a beautiful tape. It's her best! It's great! It's so sweet with the children. It's great for adults too. For someone just starting out, it can't hurt them. They can't overdo themselves. Tell Wai Lana we loved it."

Reviewer: The Dove Foundation, November 16, 2003
Synopsis: Children will enjoy working out with Wai Lana, the world's most-watched yoga teacher. With her warm and personable style, Wai Lana easily inspires her little yogis with a fun game of yoga. She has chosen poses that will entertain and delight children while stretching their growing bodies and muscle groups.
Dove Worldview: Wai Lana's soft, almost purring voice is enough to put most children into a mode of doing what she's showing them in the video. The children are delightful to watch as they stretch their bodies and relax in the sunshine. Cartoon character animals are used quite effectively to get her message across to the children and hold their interest. This is recommended for children 3-8 years of age. I can envision a school/nursery school using this in their curriculum on an ongoing basis.
Content Description: There are no objectionable elements in this video. In the event some parents might find the concept of yoga out of their range of experience, there is nothing of the mystical to be found in this video.
Dove Family-Approved. Suitable for all ages.

Wai Lana’s Little Yogis Kit
Reviewer: Dr. Toy (drtoy.com)
This unique yoga kit is based on a PBS series that encourages children to take up yoga. The kit includes a 60-minute video and yoga mat. It is designed to be a safe, easy, and fun way for your child to learn yoga. Pretend to be a cobra, bear, butterfly, bridge, tree, bow and arrow, and other fun things. The Yogi Mat has little cartoon yogis in action. It also comes with a convenient carrying bag and has an extra pocket for water and snacks. There will also be a CD coming out shortly; a collection of 21 songs that will encourage your child to dance, practice yoga, and relax as they ready for naptime. This kit is great fun and will help encourage your child's concentration and relaxation methods. It is a great tool for developing their bodies, focusing their minds, and improving balance. They will be exercising without realizing that it is one of the most important activities that they can engage in. This product is of the highest quality and is definitely a contribution for any time of the year.

The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval Winner, Spring 2004
 Reviewer: The National Parenting Center, Spring 2004
Wai Lana, one of the pioneers in the world of instructional yoga, has brought her skills to the younger set with this all-in-one kit. Bundled together are a yoga mat, an instructional video, and a poster that illustrates positions and exercises. Testers really liked the feel and texture of the mat and were eager to get started. Wai Lana is accompanied in the video by children who appear to really be enjoying themselves. This enthusiasm rubbed off on our testers, who picked up on the instruction quite rapidly.

The Little Yogis kit gives kids an early start at calming down
Reviewer: www.babygadget.com, January 22 2007
One of the biggest challenges with children can be trying to teach them to calm down. Sometimes Luke and Ivy can get so excited about something they just flip out and lose control. Yoga is good for this sort of thing, but how does one get the little ones interested in something that may at first seem boring? I was excited to see someone actually has a product for this: the Little Yogis Kit gives them a sense of ownership over their yoga experience, and everything is easily understood and attractive to children.
The kit comes with stickers, a mat, a poster, a video, and also a tote bag so the kids can carry the whole thing with them. I like the idea of getting them interested in yoga at a young age, and this package is well-rounded and includes a lot of stuff to get the kids jazzed about their new activity. This is a hobby that could last for the rest of their lives, and it's also something you can do together.
