Storyland Yoga DVD

  

  

Product Description:

Storyland Yoga is a fun-filled adventure that infuses children with an eco-conscious message. Two unique stories, Save the Whale and Condor Trek, engage a child's imagination through storytelling. Kid's learn yoga postures by becoming part of the story and imitating animals. Yoga is great exercise and helps to calm children, giving them greater focus and increased clarity. By connecting with nature and gaining respect for their own health and well being, children become empowered to create solutions for the health and sustainability of our planet. Storyland Yoga is equally fun for parents and family members who can benefit from yoga, while enjoying organic time with their children.

OUR REVIEW:  

I believe in the power of Yoga, and this a great way to introduce yoga to young children.  This DVD mixes basic yoga moves with an fun story and teaches children the benefits of staying active.   If you are looking for a yoga "workout" this is really not it, however, it you are looking for a way to introduce yoga to your children, or looking for a fun, different way to do yoga with kids, this IS for you.  One of the best things about Storyland Yoga is that you are not only learning the basic yoga moves but you and the little ones are also learning how to create a positive influence on our planet and our environment.  This knowledge can't be taught early enough!  Storyland Yoga is the winner of Parent's Choice Approved, Mom's Choice Gold, Dr. Toy's Best Green Product and Creative Child Magazine "Preferred Choice" in the Environmentally Friendly Category!  And it even gets better ~ Playful Planet donates a portion of every one of your purchases to causes that support children, the environment, and the world community.  Perfect for your young kids, and makes a perfect gift!

Living our lives and raising children, as friendly to the Earth as we can be...

 

Happy Green Baby is the official blog of Happygreenbaby.com and we are about living our lives, and raising our children, as friendly to the Earth as we can be, one step at a time. 

 What does “going or living green” mean? 

For some of us it means composting every scrap of a leftover lunch, cloth diapering, and making organic baby food from scratch.  For others, it’s about using only non-toxic chemicals in our homes and recycling.  For some of us it is eating only organic food.  And for others it’s somewhere in between.  Regardless where you fit in the ‘going green’  lifestyle, we just want to spread awareness on what our choices make on the Earth. 


There is no judgement here at Happy Green Baby!  We recoginize the need for everyone to do things in a way that works for themselves and their own family.  We are just happy you are here, and hope we can provide a few tips on how to make living a green life easier.  

Raising children can pose a whole new series of challenges for eco-conscious people.  Your new little bundle of joy requires a lot of stuff (diapers, clothes, bottles, crib bedding, nursery furniture, towels, bubble bath, more diapers).   As your children grow so does the collection of “stuff” filling up your home.   So how do you not become some sort of crazed consumer, filling every room of your home with all the baby (and kid) stuff (you don’t need) that’s bad for you, baby and the earth?  How do you handle the less than earth friendly gifts you get by friends and family, who mean well but don’t have your passion for a non-toxic lifestyle?  These are some of the questions we are trying to answer for you (as well as ourselves).  

 So what is your next step?  Where do you begin?

 Well, You just did it – you took a first step and you checked out an eco-friendly blog.  Continue to follow us and you’ll find quick tips and helpful hints for adding a little green to your daily life.  No lectures, no “we’re better than you attitude, no all-or-nothing.  Just green ideas for the entire family.  Plus, we’ll be showcasing the coolest, eco-friendly baby clothes and gear you’ll find anywhere. Seriously cool stuff.

We want your help!  

Feel free to comment on our posted questions - or give us product suggestions.  Do you write eco-friendly articles and want to be featured on our blog?  Contact us at customerservice@happygreenbaby.com.  We want to hear and learn from you.  

 

We believe raising a Happy Green Baby (and Family) is all about baby steps.

Let's raise our glass to the cousins out there!

When you think about your cousins what memories come to mind?  I think of going to the lake (being crammed in a car with too many kids and no seat belts), camping trips, looking at the stars late at night, and well being teased. (It can't all be perfect, right?)  

 

It's hard to explain the bond between cousins, as it is unlike other relationships you have, say with your sister or brother, or your best friends at school.  You share a bond being raised in the same family.  You share a bond from sitting at the kids table together.  You share a bond from spending all those (painful at the time) holiday events together.  Although your immediate families may have different ways of doing things (or maybe not), knowing the little secrets within the family unit gives you a bond that is hard to break.  The experiences you share as kids strengthen that bond.  Some cousins you are close to (maybe even best friends) and others you are not.  But it doesn't really matter how close you are (best friends, or the occasional playmate), you still feel the bond, the sense of loyalty and understanding, as you sit in the grass together at your family reunion.  I mean really, who understands how embarrassing your family is other than your cousin?   

 I spent a lot of time with my cousins as a kid, and there was a lot of laughing (and some tears).  All of the laughter and tears has made for many great memories. When you stop and think about it, it's sad to think how many cousin's lose touch over the years.  As you get older, move away, and begin families of your own it is easy to lose touch.  It just the way life is... we are all busy.  I guess that is why I enjoy social media, such as Facebook (and quite frankly, I don't really enjoy it all that much, but in cases like this it serves a positive purpose).  Our advanced technology, internet crazy world,  has a way of bringing people back together and bonding the broken connections which is a good thing.   Well, tomorrow (July 24th) is Cousins Day... so what are you waiting for?  Look up your long, lost cousin and reminisce a little, share in the laughter again, and maybe a few tears (of happiness, I hope).   I'm guessing the bond you had as a kid comes back pretty quickly!   

For my children I hope when they get older they have wonderful memories of times spent learning, playing and growing with their cousins.  I hope they find that special connection of just being silly together, that even when separated by miles, I hope their connection is so special it can't be broken.  I think we are off to a great start this summer as it has been filled with special vacation time with cousins from both sides of the family.  There have been trips to the zoo, playtime at water-parks, dance parties in the living room, slip-in-slide show-downs, hot tub craziness, and of course pajama parties and late night secrets.   I have to be honest, my heart melts a little every time I see my kids bonding with their cousins in new ways.  I am sad we do not live closer to all of them. I am sad my girls aren't spending time at the kids table with their cousins at every holiday function.  I am sad they are not getting more time to roll their eyes behind our backs when we embarrass them by being present (gasp!).  A part of me feels like they are missing out on something important, missing out on building a bond you can't quite describe.  But my heart smiles when we leave our cousins because I know I am doing something right when my girls say "I miss ...my cousin".  That statement confirms that a special bond IS being built and it brings a little tear to my eye, and it also gives me a little more determination to make sure we are already planning our next family get-together with the cousins.  

So, lets raise our glasses to all the cousins out there!  To all the past memories from our childhoods, to the present and rebuilding connections, and to the future bonding of our children with their special cousins.
