Everything I hoped
for and more, 2008-09-14
There is my new favorite yoga dvd! I
was looking for a yoga practice that
was more restorative than workout and
this is it.
This dvd consists of numerous
sequences that address a variety of
ailments and conditions. There is so
much variety, both within each sequence
and each pose that there is truly
something for everyone. I love how 4
examples of each pose are demonstrated,
from the most gentle, supported and
relaxing variation to more advanced and
vigorous variations. The setting is
gorgeous and the music is relaxing and
peaceful. Laura's voice is soothing and
never intrusive.
I know that this dvd will be a regular
part of my yoga practice for years to
come.

I Love It,
2008-07-31
I'm a big believer in the power of yoga
to cure health issues, and this DVD is
one every yogi should own. There are
practices for shoulder stiffness/pain,
menopause, depression, back pain, and
many, many more -- 60 of them. I've
done two so far, and plan to spend a
lot of time with this DVD. It's filmed
in a pretty outdoor setting and at the
beginning of each asana, you will see
text on the screen explaining what the
pose will do for you and also any
contraindications. It doesn't last more
than a couple of seconds, so it doesn't
interrupt your practice, but you do
have the option to pause here if you
want to. I found it very interesting to
know the purpose of each pose for
helping the particular ailment in
question. You also have the option of
skipping any pose if it's too advanced
or if you just don't like it for
whatever reason. I recommend this DVD
for those with prior yoga experience,
as there are few form tips for
beginners. For those who already know
the basics and have a regular yoga
practice, this is a must-have for your
library.

Convenient and
informative, 2008-05-27
This is a great video - well done and
is very useful for me. There are days
when I know I should do some yoga but I
don't want to go down and take a long
class. I can scroll to a section that
looks interesting and follow at my own
pace. I think this is a great way for
someone to familiarize themselves with
the basics of yoga used for therapeutic
purposes as well as an easy way to get
more yoga done at home. Thumbs
up!

Nice DVD ... I
included details of the Acne
sequence ..., 2008-05-11
This is a really nice DVD. There is so
much on it. The way they get 60
sequences on one DVD is to create each
asana (there seem to be about 50)and
then string them together like beads on
a string. Some sequences have 15 asanas
and other have 30. Overall it seems to
be Iyengar yoga, both restorative style
and gentle style. But there are also
some distinctively Viniyoga asanas in
the fitness and energizer sequences.
Because Acne is an affliction of youth
the Acne sequence is longer and more
gentle yoga than restorative. I like
this sequence a lot. Here are the
poses:
1: Tadasana
2: Tadasana looking skywards
3: Tadasana with eagle arms
4: Uttanasa
5: Down Dog
6: Intense Stretch (both legs)
7: Triangle
8: Vasistasana
9: half moon (modified)
10: dandasana
11: Janu sirsasana
12: Donwward Hero
13: Seated forward fold
14: twisting child
15: seated twist A
16: seated twist C
17: supported bound wide angle
18: supported virasana
19: supported wide angle
20: bound angle
21: head stand (or modified down
dog)
22: foldward fold
23: bridge pose
24: plow pose
25: supported bridge
26: legs up wall
27: savasana
This sequence make sense when you
compare it to what people say about
acne and yoga, flushing the organs, the
face, opening the energy ...
The music on this DVD is really
nice.
The Fitness and Energier sequences are
fun.
