User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Very Disappointing
First, I’d like to say that the Angel Bear and Sweet Pea characters are adorable and brilliant. But they are the cover art and flashed on a couple cards during the dvd, otherwise they are completely unrelated to this dvd.
If it had been an animated yoga adventure with Angel Bear and Sweet Pea, this would have been a home run. Its just Christi Eley in a plain classroom which seems to serve to feature their Angel Bear products yoga mats and eye pillows more than anything else. It is Christi Eley yoga, not Angel Bear.
The Companion Book that you can buy separately is better than the dvd because it is actually Angel Bear, but it is an over priced hard copy version of a coloring book and contains no instruction.
If you’re looking for children’s yoga, Gaiam’s Yoga Kids series is much better. Excellent actually. I highly recommend it.
As for this dvd, I probably wouldn’t have been so disappointed if they had marketed this as being what it is (a cheap production of a well intended, amateur instructor in a classroom) instead of the image of Angel Bear which is imagined and implied, but non-existent.
To the makers: ANIMATED Angel Bear Yoga would be a home run and make this worth the money.
