Wolfgang with one of his best friends Elaine Gold, very special project

We were taping a mom showing her babies how to do exercises that were handed down from the Dahn Goon Dynasty, 4000 years ago. There they had 7000 years of peace and prosperity. A Korean Yoga Master tells us in the introduction that his mother taught him these exercises as a baby and that he believe this was the foundation for his enlightenment. So our goal is to teach our babies these exercises in the hope that we can raise a generation that will bring peace and prosperity to our world. The working title for this piece is "Brain Education for Smart Babies"
