I was thinking of doing some yoga exercises with DS (4yr) to calm him down when needed (before nap or bed for example). Does anyone know of any good videos or books where I can get some ideas for a few moves or short yoga sessions? Something that can be done with him? Also, does anybody have any recommendations on baby yoga videos or books so I can do some exercises with my other son (almost 6mo)? Thanks!
I've done Itsy Bitsy Yoga with my son. He's only 2, and we started it when he was about 2 months. I don't know how well it will translate to your 4 year old, but it might be fine if it's all new to him. The premise is that you have songs that go along with the poses. We have the book and I think they also make a DVD.
I can't remember the names of the books, but I've gotten a few good kid's yoga books at the library. They had large pictures of 10 basic poses. My 3 year old had a lot of fun doing them with me.
I've heard some good stuff about this:

It says 3 months to 4 years, so you could do it with your baby and your toddler could do it beside y'all :)
