VHS Movie Reviews of Yoga Zone: Conditioning & Stress Release [VHS]
Movie Review: conditioned and relaxed after all
Summary: 4 Stars
When I watched the video through, and the first times I actually used it, I thought it was boring. Alan finger talks a lot, theres a lot of time between poses and the setting is very low key (not al all hip, just a studio). So I only did it ocassionaly or used the final relaxation after using a tape like MTV yoga. But after a couple of months I started to see it's benefits and used it more and more. I use it when I want to work on my technique in the yoga poses, when I have a sore or stiff back or neck, or when I am too tired for strenious exercise. The final relaxtion is awesome and I feel very relaxed after completing the tape. When I want a powerful workout I use other tapes. But really, with this tape you are actually doing quite a lot, only at a slow pace (so it's certainly not cardio, but it does strengthen your body). It's also a really good tape for yoga beginners to learn the poses, connecting the breath to the movements ? relax/ stretch every part of your body.Movie Review: It works.
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my introduction to yoga. Though I'd much perfer to take regular classes, to insure I'm learning the poses absolutely correctly, this DVD is easy and CERTAINLY relaxes me. - I've even FALLEN ASLEEP during the end/last excersize a number of times because it has relaxed me so.I'm not the most flexible person so some of the poses don't get done to their fullest, but that is ok. The instructer says so. :-) He has a pleasant voice and gently walks you through each pose. (There are also 2 women who perform the poses so you get a good visual of how).
If I had more self dicipline, I'd do the yoga work out on this DVD every night. I feel so much better when I do and the relaxed feeling not only helps me sleep at night, but carries over into the following day. I highly recommend this DVD and hope to check out others in this series.
Movie Review: Great for getting back into the "swing" of yoga...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've "dabbled" in yoga several times over the last 10 years or so and have thoroughly enjoyed it, but have most recently been focusing on cardio/strength training. Having lost most of the weight I've wanted to, I started looking for alternative exercise forms to help maintain the weight loss (and maintain my interest in exercise). This video is definitely a great beginner or "starting-again" yoga workout. Finger's voice is soothing and instructive without being chatty and the fact that he instructs while having two other people demonstrate is a great format (one girl does the more intense variations and the other the more basic moves). The only negative is that it is just a tad too short (you don't want it to end) overall and the relaxation portion at the end is too long. I definitely recommend this video, however!
Movie Review: Very relaxing, yet powerful results
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this tape because I had so much tension in my back and neck. My overall sense of well being really improved. I moved and lost the tape so I searched online to buy it. It's that good!Movie Review: Fantastic introduction to Yoga!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first Yoga home video I purchased, and it remains one of my favorites. The instructor, Alan Finger, has the most soothing voice and gives such clear, concise instruction. I also like that he is not too "new-agey" in his language and focuses mostly on the straightforward physical benefits of this program, rather than the effects on your psyche. I appreciate how the 2 assistants demonstrate the poses for both beginner and more advanced viewers. The conditioning portion of the video is not particularly strenuous so if you are looking for a Power Yoga workout, this tape is not for you. This program is a light workout and an amazing tension release. I particularly love to do this video after a long, stressful day. Wash your face and brush your teeth before you start this video because if you're like me, you will fall asleep or close to it by the end of this wonderful video!
