Family Yoga on the Wii Fit
Oh joy! Yoga is spreading in our family! All these years of watching their mom pull out her mat for daily practice and it takes a video game to interest my kids in yoga. I have never been a yoga-pusher, knowing that would surely backfire if I tried too hard to get the kids involved in yoga practice. My youngest does pull out her own mat and join me on occasion, but the older kids are just now enjoying the feeling of postures and noticing their alignment. It is fun to see the whole family involved. I have to say, the rating system gives it a competitive nature, and the internal focus that yoga promotes is somewhat lost by looking at the screen and following the red dot! But anything that introduces one to yoga practice is celebrated in my eyes.
