Yoga By The Dozen Giveaway!

Recently, Canadian childhood obesity stats have been in the spotlight and for good reason:

  • Obesity rates among children and youth in Canada have nearly tripled over the last 25 years
  • Children and youth spend an average of 8.6 hours per day, or 62% of their waking hours being sedentary
  • Approximately 26% of Canadian children ages 2-17 years old are currently overweight or obese

And of course, with childhood obesity, comes a higher risk of developing a multitude of potential health problems in childhood and in later years. This is all preventable!

We are encouraged to get our children and teenagers participating in at least 60 or more minutes of physical activity most of the days of the week. This can be something as simple as walking to and from school, participating in sports or riding a bike. But the greatest way to get your children involved in physical activity is by supporting them and leading by example.

To get your kiddies moving, our friend, JoAnna Ross, founder of Yoga By The Dozen™ would like to offer ONE of our lucky readers her highly acclaimed ‘Yoga By The Dozen’ DVD. Designed especially for kids ages 2-6, this fun and interactive children’s yoga video, introduces your children to the exciting world of Yoga by demonstrating a ‘dozen’ fundamental yoga poses. Not only does this DVD foster respect, coordination and self-confidence for kids, it also nourishes their mind, body and spirit and paves the way for a life-long tradition of health and fitness. What more could we ask for? To purchase the DVD, featuring JoAnna Ross and 12 of her young yogis, visit www.YogaByTheDozen.com, or get in motion and enter to WIN a FREE copy of your own!
