Movement - Imagination - Balance - Drama - now, that's the recipe for health and wellness that every parent wants. I can't think of a better way to use technology, than by sharing the fun and joy of going on an adventure together right in their own front room. Bravo to all of you. I can't wait to bring this series to the attention of all of my patients.

This is a truly original DVD series containing imaginative and clever movement routines. It's both healthy and really entertaining fun for kids' bodies and minds! These DVDs will bring your kids back for more and help them develop healthy lifestyle behaviors for now and for the years to come.

I love how the movement engages children and allows them to tell the story along with the storyteller. They are not only stretching and strengthening their bodies, but their minds, as well. By using the poses and movements to act out the story, young children are reinforcing their narrative skills, which are important to early literacy!

All I can say is "WOW". Leah - you and your team have done an amazing job with these videos. I was riveted and I know the kids and families in my community will be, too. I can't wait to get my hands on the whole series.

If we didn't move, we wouldn't need a brain. The brain grows and develops through movement, allowing us to optimize learning, memory and creativity. Move With Me Action Adventures provide fun, easy and profound ways to optimally develop brain function. The whole family will benefit from this series.

My students love these adventures and they are remembering the Adventure Skills. We use them when kids get cranky, frustrated or need a break. Thanks Move With Me, your DVDs definitely make our days more fun.

We enjoy the Move with Me DVDs a lot! They are easy to follow and they keep the children's attention well. WE do a lot of different kinds of activities in our movement program so this is a terrific addition. I'd use an Adventure Skill poster.

My students love the Move with Me DVDs - especially on rainy, bad air or weather days! But we plan to start using them more regularly as part of our movement enrichment program. I'd be interested in a curriculum and poster.

The Move with Me DVDs are fantastic. We use them all the time. The kids love them and so do the teachers. We are now using the adventure skills at transition times and the older kids are making up their own stories with the movements they've learned.

Move With Me Action Adventures are the latest and greatest in kids playtime - healthy fun combining the 2 things kids love most stories and movement. My nephews and I have a blast with them. We feel great after and we use our new adventure skills to meet challenges in our daily lives!

My 4-year old loves the Move with Me DVDs. He immediately wanted to try the program, smiling the whole time. The instructions are easy for him to grasp and presented in a fun manner. Really, the whole family enjoys them. Thank you for such a wonderful learning tool for children.

Move with Me DVDs are a terrific tool that I recommend to all the parents, teachers and pre-school directors with whom I work. The movement stories engage kids in fun active play that literally builds the brain while also developing fitness and social-emotional skills.

The Move with Me DVDs are so good! We use them every week and the kids get really excited. They can follow the poses and movements and the amount of time is perfect for them. We do them, too, and we all feel better.

My 4 year-old is against any exercise longer than 5 minutes. Yet, she just did your 30 minute Birthday Gift yoga story and when it was over, she asked to do it again. AMAZING!

These DVD's are not only perfect for parents to use but they are also great for teachers and childcare providers as well. My son loves to engage with the characters and practice his yoga moves; my daughter loves to join him on the weekends when she is home.

The Move with Me videos have helped me to understand the many possibilities of working with children and Yoga. The movement is integrated into stories, songs and experiences that are easy to follow and fun to teach. Sensory motor learning is promoted throughout the DVDs, which I highly recommend!

The Move with Me DVDs are so much more than kids exercise DVDs. They are a terrific enhancement to our curriculum by truly supporting all developmental tasks and standards in an engaging, experiential, integrated way. We use them for PE and motor skills, early literacy and creative thinking, direction following and concentration as well as social-emotional learning and impulse control. Teachers are all using the “Adventure Skills†because they give kids behaviors/activities that they can use to pause and support themselves. Now, kids are not just controlling their impulses, they are learning how to redirect their thoughts and choices in a positive way, which really shifts and empowers them.

Movement is so important for so many reasons-- both physical and mental. As a teacher at a title one school, I see kids who are starting life at a disadvantage. I need all the tools I can get to help them develop academically, socially, physically and mentally. We use the DVDs you sent us for indoor recess on those nasty days (whether we are talking rainy, frigid or too hot to be allowed out). The kids love them and they work so well in a small classroom setting. Thanks for providing these DVDs. Our class loves them!!

I am the daughter of two young ones, Hayley (8) Devon (5), that suffer me teaching their movement classes all the time. They would rather THEY were the instructors. After all, they helped create the stories, they've already practiced them, come on mom, "Why CAN'T we be the teachers!" But when The Birthday Gift DVD was finished, both my girls watched transfixed, no complaints, then started to move with the story even though they had done it many times before. In a few moments, they looked at me watching them and insisted, "Come on mom, you have to do it too!" Magic.

Movement - Imagination - Balance - Drama. Now, that's the recipe for health and wellness that every parent wants when they bring a child into the world. In today's high-tech society we have to embrace our child's world and bring them into ours in the gentlest way possible. I can't think of a better way to use technology, which can be such an onslaught of negative influence, to connect with and help children, than by sharing the fun and joy of going on an adventure together right in their own front room. Bravo to all of you. I can't wait to bring this series to the attention of all of my patients.

The children are not only stretching and strengthening their bodies, but their minds, as well. By using the poses and movements to act out the story, young children are reinforcing their narrative skills, an important early literacy skill. Liz & Wendy are natural storytellers. They both seamlessly combine the flow of movements with gentle but expressive storytelling.

[Pizza Party] My daughter absolutely loved your Yoga Playground Pizza Party DVD and she's asked to do it over and over again. We have been singing the theme song and practicing now together ever since. We'd love to carry it on our site. I think it's great. I really like how down to earth it is and non-staged. It really resonated with her a lot.
