It's hip, relevant, helpful as well as visually inspiring and appealing to use. The way the material is organized invites personal choice and multiples uses. I love that everything about it supports teens in more deeply connecting with and nurturing themselves. I'm buying it for every teen I know.

Abby Wills and her team have done an outstanding job of bringing a high quality, high production value, content packed DVD to the youth of the world. I think teens will find this very user-friendly, appealing and most importantly, doable. I know I will be recommending this to all the teens I know.

It provides a great variety of 30 minute sessions to choose from, which makes it a great deal for the price. It teaches form, concepts, and personal development with ease and beauty. They are appropriately challenging for young folks being introduced to yoga, but as an adult I also enjoy the routines. I've been amazed how well the DVD has been received by my class. They now regularly ask for this one over my other DVDs, and are more eager than ever to do Monday morning yoga! I highly recommend it for anyone who works with or has children between 7-16 years old.

My daughter was recently diagnosed with scoliosis due to muscle imbalance. We are working to strengthen her core muscles and bring her back muscles into a more even alignment. These exercises are exactly what the Physical Therapist prescribed to strengthen her muscles gently and slowly, helping prevent further curvature. The exercises are easy to follow and fun for kids. I would recommend this dvd to anyone wishing to introduce yoga to children.

As a counselor for adolescents going through recovery I observed first hand that physical health was synonymous with mental and emotional health. There is nothing more important for a young person than to find a way to simply sit and be present. Whether you are a yoga teacher or a parent seeking ways to guide your children to find their own bliss in a world filled with distractions, you will find this DVD invaluable.

We do the program together so it's an experience we get to share with no distractions just the two of us, and I enjoy doing it as well. It really is a great program, and I can see how beneficial it can be for kids not just physically but it also teaches them mental discipline and emotional control, how to center it and release it in a positive way. Children deal with alot of stress and fear of the unknown, and they don't have the experience or knowledge to know how to handle it. Even though we just started using the DVD I can already notice how it's helping him focus, stay calm and find peace and strength within him before freaking out!

I love the Shanti Generation DVD! I teach teens and tweens and this DVD really appeals to them. The music and presentation of the DVD make it fun for kids of all ages. I also like how the kids do the yoga and explain how yoga helps to support their well being and health. I highly recommend this DVD for kids and their teachers too!

It's exceptional in quality and inviting in a multitude of ways. Abby's wealth of experience working with this age group is very clear. Her voice is both strong and soothing and immediately creates a safe space for adolescents to explore. The yoga sequences are fun and easy to follow. I love how Abby offers step-by-step suggestions for greater understanding of each pose. Her choice of language is very clear and impressively age-appropriate. The choreography is exquisite, the set designs calming and beautiful and the musical accompaniment is brilliant. In my opinion, Shanti Generation is a very valuable work of art. I recently viewed this with my 13 yr old very athletic, energetic son. We did a yoga sequence from "Choose you Path." He chose "Being Peace." Amazed that he was wiling to try this with me, I followed his lead. After a few moments I looked over at him. He was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, breathing peacefully. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Abby and team for sharing your creative gifts with the world and for moving yoga education forward with such love and respect.

First of all, Kudos to Abby Wills for producing an entirely "green" dvd cover. It is made of 100% recycled board stock, soy ink, and biodegradable potato starch tray. How often do you see that? How they did that and still managed to keep this DVD under $20 is amazing. Now, on to the content. The production value is outstanding, the kids are doing the poses accurately, and the soundtrack is excellent. While this is geared toward youth, my wife and I enjoyed practicing the poses as well.
