Gail Silver: News and Reviews

Charming and approachable, child advocate and yoga instructor Gail Silver delivers child-friendly instruction for exercise, breathing techniques designed to calm as well as energize and imaginative activities developed to mitigate stress. Gentle suggestions that Moms and Dads can benefit from these exercises are given with a wink and a smile. And Silver's humor is intelligent; “Farm Animal Chants” is a respectfully clever riff on the breathing chants of Ohm.

This is the first review I've ever written, but the Cd a Peaceful Place Inside, is so good and it doesn't have a review yet, so hear goes :).

My kids, currently 2 and 4, love this CD. We listen to it in the car, where they can do the breathing exercise parts, and my 4 year old listens to it at home and follows the instructions from beginning to end - it effectively gives him his own yoga practice. I stumbled across this CD at our local library, and the boys loved it so much I ended up buying them a copy of their own.

The yoga exercises are simple but effective (actually good for adults, too!), and explained in a way that is very accessible to kids. The songs and spoken instructions/explanations are simple, fun, and lovely, and still bring all the richness yoga has to offer to kids in a way that speaks to them. Fun and relaxing all at once.

Excellent CD. Highly recommended!!!
