Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent exercise/yoga dvd. I bought 2 more for my sister and daughter in law. After sitting at a desk for years, I retired, and needed to "limber" up. I am having fun while getting into shape! Highly recommended!Movie Review: Great Introduction to Yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been wanting to get into Yoga for years, but it wasn't until an extremely stressful situation in my family arose (Mom in ICU) that I actually bit the bullet and bought this DVD. Sara Ivanhoe is an incredible teacher, wholesome, friendly, funny, not at all the hard-bodied scary domanatrix figure I had been afraid of. I am the MOST non-flexible person, very hyperactive and easily excitable. After doing this DVD one time, I had a sense of relaxation I have never had before. And to those who say, "You are just stretching. How could you get a workout?", let me tell you, you sweat! I have been following this DVD for about a month now and the sense of peace and relaxation I have at the end of each session is worth its weight in gold. Once you have mastered the 12 positions, I would recommend buying her Beyond Basic Workout for Dummies. I have just bought that and while it is a bit more challenging, it is also worth its weight in gold. When I started doing Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies, I couldn't bend over and touch my toes. Now I can. Easily. =)Movie Review: Very Helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems that some people missed the point in their low evaluations of this video. Yes, she talks quite a bit, but that is to explain the poses and the breathing. Some of the off-camera comments may be a bit intrusive but they dispel myths or focus on problems that might arise in the performance of the exercises. I take a class in yoga and use this at home to guide me through some exercises. The Daily Dozen is a nice, basic exercise routine to perform at home. One may always add poses as they are learned in a class. One reviewer asked if we really need to be taught to stand. The answer is yes. In yoga, the Mountain Pose is not just about standing but about standing in such a way as to provide a firm foundation for poses and also to promote proper posture. Yoga is about breathing, Yoga is about posture, Yoga is about relaxation, and much more. Even if you never take a Yoga class, this video will teach you a basic routine to employ daily and might even inspire you to take a class. My advice is to watch and listen to the tape at least once without trying any of the exercises. Just hear what she has to say and note the off-camera comments. Once you have absorbed the basic tenets of the routine, then try the poses. You can start by learning the first pose and work on it all weeek, then add a new pose each week until you know the entire dozen. By then, you should be able to perform them without the aid of the tape and eliminate what some feel is too much talking. Give it a try. I am not a young, fit person, but an older, overweight, out of shape one working on getting in shape. If I can do it, just about anyone can. It just means trying and not giving up. Yoga is a very rewarding form of exercise and path to inproving well-being, mentally and physically. This is a good, basic guide. Give it a shot. Namaste!Movie Review: Good for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
I've just started the practice of yoga. This DVD is easy to follow and I really like the instructor's sense of humor and her relaxing and encouraging manner. This may be too basic for someone who has taken a class, but for those who want a simple home-instruction DVD, this is a good one.
