Enter to win a copy of this DVD by leaving a comment telling about a challenge you’ve overcome to get where you are today. Contest closes November 30, 9:00 pm MST.
Vishnu’s Ohmazing Journeys is the newest DVD from Yogiños Yoga for Youth and is a celebration of Indian culture. This kids yoga DVD recounts three different adventures of Vishnu, a supreme God of Hinduism and Indian mythology.
Vishnu’s Ohmazing Journeys recounts three Hindu myths with Vishnu taking on a different role/ avatar in each one to overcome challenges and find great treasures.
The first is of Vishnu as the Tortoise, the second with Vishnu as a Boar and the third is Vishnu as the Boy Krishna. Yogiños founder, Beth Reese does a fabulous job of intertwining yoga poses with the stories and includes clear alignment cues such as root to rise, hug the mid-line and shoulder blades on your back, thereby teaching body awareness and mindful practice of the poses.
A continual theme throughout all three stories is that of making “ohmazing” choices and trusting in your strong foundation in order to meet and overcome life’s challenges. The links between yoga practice on the mat and application in everyday life off the mat are clear, age appropriate and useful. In addition, Yogiños stays true to their tri-lingual base intertwining English, Spanish and Sanskrit throughout the DVD and including a full Spanish version.
The Bonus Tracks extend the educational aspect of the DVD expanding knowledge about the Crow Collection of Art, a herb garden and environmental conservation through prAna’s Natural Power Initiative.
I found this DVD ideal for tweens as it is smart, educational and culturally rich. I especially appreciated the beautifully performed story of Krishna and and Kaliya told through Indian dance. Enjoy this video trailer.

Challenges I’ve overcome – well there are a whole lot on that path to self dicsovery at least that’s been my experience. All the years I spent working in corporate where I felt like a square peg in a round hole and knew there had to be more to life than that for me……beleiving enough in myself to go for the first kids yoga teacher training – starting my business and running with it.
I guess the biggest challenge has been believing in myself and the fact that there would be a better life waiting as soon as I left that world that I felt was squashing me.
The DVD trailer looks great. One of the challenges I’ve overcome is learning to cook healthy food. Cooking always felt like a chore. Now I enjoy it.
The biggest challenge I have had to overcome is ME! Learning to stop self sabotage is probably the hardest thing I have ever done. I wish yoga had been a part of my life when I was younger.
