LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to win this package because soon my family, now three, will become eight! Lol. My husband, 2 year old son and myself will be staying with my brother, his wife and two little girls in Colorado. They also have a new child on the way. It will be a house full of A LOT of love and I know that introducing an easy to use yoga course will benefit our health and creativity immensely. I want to our co-housing experience to be memorable and peaceful!
You know, my son struggles with frustration. This year has been challenging but we have finally celebrated him reading at his grade level. Guiding him through his homework has always been a bit of a task as he often gets stressed and gives up before he begins. I would love this in my mommy tool belt. For all of my children.
i love it! even more amazing my almost 6 year old son loves it. he is working on doing more yoga to bring in some stillness and focus(adhd, attention dialed into a higher dimention)...some days are really great, and some are super challenging. so far he is on a low glycemic diet, gluten and mostly dairy free(friday is dairy day), taking some really great efa oils and vitamin d drops. the glutens he allergic to, and dairy he has grown out of the allergy but still feels foggy and congested when he has it. we are open to any advice you could offer to help us on our journey...my sons learning to focus and find stillness journey, and my keeping grounded even though i want to hide and cry cause i allow myself to get frustrated and am hard on myself because i feel i could do more....(that and let go of my ego...giving it a hug, poor thing.)
the yoga man would really help us out!
lots of love

I would like to win the Yoga for Boys package because I supply teach lower elementary school and I need ways to make the boys I work with feel like they belong. In gym classes most competition has been removed, contact is not allowed so we are left with movement games.
I maintain my own yoga practice and would love a way to bring the many benfits of yoga to my disaffected male students.

I think this whole concept is wonderful, but don't enter me, it looks like there are more deserving out there!
I’m the mother of 6 year old twin boys and I was a middle school teacher before I had children. Boy culture is definitely something I’ve been confronted with. As a woman I find myself instictively trying to quell their wrestling and ‘boyness’. We encourage a lot of artwork in our house and, unlike most schools, I don’t censor their violent themes in their work. I’ve been trying to keep my mouth shut more often and let them get wild in the house, just not on the couch. Luckily we’ve been able to get the boys into 4-H Archery and Shooting Sports activities which they love! I’m happy with it because these are led by educated, caring male instructors who are fantastic role models as what a responsible man should be.
I’ve done yoga for a few years and it has helped me emotionally calm down and really take inventory of the world around me. I think yoga would be wonderful for my boys but honestly, I don’t know how to approach them with it. This looks great and just up my boys alley! Maybe I’ll get lucky and win this giveaway!
i teach preschool and K-4 movement and drama classes and really try to address the different ways boys learn and the different activity they need. so far, it's just been kind of 'theoretical' to me, but since my (first) grandson is 3 now - never had any boys of my own - i'd REALLY like to try the 'yoga man' system/concept. i bet it rocks!
I teach kids yoga and have found that older boys (4/5th grade) really love the challenging poses. I generally take the class through breath work, gentle stretching, sun salutations, balancing poses, twists and we always close (before savasana) with a game, like yoga charades, freeze & flow or yoga bingo. Younger boys in my classes (3-5-ish) have a much harder time staying on track and tend to get really restless and just have energy to burn. These classes never go according to play, so I go with the flow & energy level that day.
I would welcome a new tool to engage the boys in my kids yoga classes more and Yoga Man vs. The Stressor sounds like just the thing!
Thanks so much to everyone for the comments so far. It is amazing to see how much everyone cares about kids and can relate to the different needs of boys.
The contest is still open. I invite you to enter all the ways listed in the blog post. (I see many of you have already!)
My wife and I own a dance studio. Over the last year, our boys dance classes went from 5 students to 22. One of the classes we teach is creative movement for little guys (ages 4 - 7). Most creative movement cirriculum involves flowers, fairies, etc. It would be great to have a resource that if more boy friendly. Seeing the excerpts of the YogaMan program convinced me that this would be a a valuable tool for our classes. It would tap in to creative vein that guys naturally go to (superheroes) and engage them more. And knowing that something like this is out there would give them a starting point to create their own yoga related stories and adventures.

Sorry about the above anonymous post. It was the only way I was able to get my entry in. It is also filled with typos. Again, I apologize.
