Description
If you would like to download samples or view the entire video please visit freeyogavideo.com. If you're interested in learning yoga but are concerned that most beginner tapes are too difficult for you, Evamarie's Introduction to Yoga: Gentle, for Extreme Beginners is an excellent solution. Set in an ambient outdoor location to the elegant cello and guitar music of Montana Skies (montanaskiesmusic.com), this soothing dvd opens with a light and breezy warm-up to stimulate deep breathing and prepare the muscles for the yoga routine. Special emphasis is placed on proper posture and body alignment. Evamarie then leads you through basic standing postures and stretches (no one-leg balancing positions or other advanced positions), followed by floor poses that help promote strength and flexibility of the back, abdomen, arms, chest and legs. Evamarie demonstrates the postures clearly, with easy-to-understand verbal cues. Evamarie's voice is deep and soothing, yet upbeat. Her final relaxation and meditation puts a pleasant cap on this user-friendly and effective yoga workout. What follows is Evamarie's post-workout yoga tutorial, in which Evamarie takes the time to offer additional information on proper technique, bonus tips on becoming fit through yoga and other exercise, helpful hints on equipment (including household substitutions for many store-bought items), answers to frequently asked questions, and more. This tape is the perfect starter kit for anyone new to yoga who is looking to learn it at home.

 Gentle, but lacking February 25, 2008
Cindy S (New Hampshire)
I was hoping to use this video to get back into Yoga. The music used was very nice, but the presentation is very slow and distracting - the outfit and makeup are not in my yoga comfort zone. I never did get through to the end of it - between the pace and being distracted by her makeup!
It was Okay! July 10, 2007

First of all, I just felt that the video was super long. I didn't really enjoy as much as I thought I would. Can't really say what made me become disinterested.
 A great video to start doing Yoga by February 10, 2007

I bought this video over 15 months ago to get started doing yoga, but even now, after buying several more videos, it is still one of my favorites. Eva Marie Pilapuf takes you through an hour of various warm up exercises and yoga poses. So many introductory Yoga vidoes are so challenging that they discourage prospective practitioners. Most people using this video, however, will not get outside their comfort zones doing these poses, but after the workout they will feel good about themselves from the activity and their accomplishments. Isn't that what Yoga should be all about?
 NOT YOGA AT ALL April 18, 2006

This is a scam and a rip-off. This is a DVD of someone going through some motions, but not yoga. I wouldn't even call it calisthenics. Even a complete couch potato expends more energy than this woman does. Please don't be fooled by the title - even the most extreme of beginners deserve more than what this woman is offering. If I can give this a rating less than 0 stars I would.
Good gentle start March 27, 2006

I too have problems with low back pain and as suggested by my physical therapist, yoga might be a good alternative since traction wasn't all that helpful. I found that Evamarie starts her warm up with a few gentle Tai Chi-type moves and eases into some gentle yoga and ends with a meditation-type cool down. I did not find the pace too rapid, and to be honest, I didn't watch the DVD all the way through prior to trying the positions. If you are terribly out of shape, the pace might be a bit fast, otherwise no problem. I found it a nice starter DVD.
