 A good program for beginners, very relaxing November 20, 2008
Bud Bundy (MN USA)
I got this because I like to stay somewhat flexible for playing golf. I've tried Yoga a couple of times before and found that it seems to put a lot of pressure on the joints while not really stretching the muscles all that much. I was fairly pleased with this program, as it doesn't seem to put much pressure on the joints. The poses are easy, feel good, and I think you get a nice stretch. I was surprised to find just how relaxing Yoga can be: some of the poses are held for moderate periods of time, while the instructor has you breathing in and out. It's really quite soothing.
I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the routines get a bit long. For something you're supposed to do every morning and evening, I think 30 minutes gets a bit time consuming, 20 would have been better.
Overall though, I like this program and feel that it's a good choice for beginners. I didn't find any of the poses particularly hard at all - the hardest part is trying to do the poses correctly when you're facing away from the TV screen. You have to do it a few times to learn them all correctly.
 Good for beginners November 20, 2008
Reviewer (Chicago, IL)
This DVD has good routines, and is definitely geared towards beginners or those who prefer a more slow-moving yoga practice. I personally prefer to continue moving rather than holding poses while listening to the instructor talk. But it was very relaxing, and overall provided nice routines.
Good exercise November 19, 2008
trp (Hope Valley, Rhode Island)
I have had multiple sclerosis for years and while I get around just fine I have limited tolerance for exercise. Yoga, with its emphasis on gentle stretch, posture, balance and breathing is perfect for anyone with a limited capacity for exercise. The only downside was having to travel to participate in a class, since I no longer drive and had to rely on my wonderful husband for transportation. I was glad to find this excellent DVD and have been using it faithfully several times a week. The exercises are clearly demonstrated, well-paced and enjoyable.
Great DVD for Beginners to Yoga! November 18, 2008
Sandra W. Conway (Maui, Hawaii)
Very easy to do and the instructor is great! If you are new to yoga as I am, you will appreciate this dvd.
Just Watching This Video Invites Serenity November 16, 2008
Phyllis Staff (Dallas, Texas USA)
This video comes in two parts: morning and evening routines. Either one will draw serenity into your practice and into your life.
As a beginner, I find plenty of challenge in these two practices, especially in the breathing practices. I found reversing my usual way of breathing (expanding the back rather than the front while inhaling) difficult. This particular exercise causes me to focus tightly on my breath, and by the time I'm finished I'm both invigorated and soooooo relaxed!
As a beginner, I cannot say whether advanced yoga students will benefit as much as I have from these videos, but I can say that anyone will experience relaxation from the practice, from the setting (gorgeous), and from the music. After just over a month of practice, I can see significant changes in my body and in my outlook on life.
I highly recommend this DVD.
