Yoga for Kids
My sister Kira Willey is a terrific musician, and she just came out with her new CD, so this is an unabashed plug. She wrote an entire CD full of kids yoga music that is designed to introduce young kids to yoga. The best part is, she not only wrote and recorded the songs (which are great, fun and original), but she also has a version of each song where she voices-over the class, so you can do the class in your home. Pictures in the included booklet show you the poses, so it’s very easy. And kids love it!
I confess, I’m not completely unbiased. Not only is she my sister, I also sing bass on three of the songs: Let’s Go to Work, Surfer Mama, and Caterpillar, Caterpillar.
Buy it today. Heck, get one for each of your friends. Makes a great Holiday gift!
UPDATE: her web site is now up – Fireflies Yoga – you can buy it there, since CD Baby doesn’t stock a lot of them.

Hi! I desperately want a copy of this CD… it’s AMAZING! CD Baby says it’s out of stock…what should I do?
Thank you so, so much!

Hi Natalie,
Send me an email (ts at oxyfish.com), or contact Kira directly (kira at kira.net) and we’ll make sure you get one. If you are local to the SF Bay Area, I’ll have some in hand by the weekend, so you could even pick it up.
Thanks for your interest!

We love Kira’s cd! My 3 children pick doing yoga over any other activity anytime because of it. It is a fantastic gift for anyone who is in contact with children.

Hi there! Thanks so much for posting this recommendation! I listened to all the samples and went ahead and ordered it. I really wanted to download it off i-tunes so I could have it right away, but I decided to buy the actual CD so that I could get the booklet too- it looks so beautiful on Kira’s website.
I teach yoga to kids in San Diego and I just started a blog (http://sdyogakids.wordpress.com), so I’m going to post a recommendation on there to! I’ll start using it in my classes as soon as I receive it!
Namaste,
Carolyn

What a great CD loved the “Sing to the Sun” Sun Salutation…and “Shimmy Shimmy” I bet on of those would make a cool video for YouTube…and probably increase sales. It deserves to be out there in a big way!
