Loved the video!!!
As I turned 40 I began noticing arthritic aches in my knees, ankles and back. This kept my motivation down to exercise to feel fit. My thoughts turned to yoga as a way to condition my body and reduce the aches and stiffness. Onset diabetes is a concern of mine, also, because of family history. Some videos were too strenuous or fast for me. This video, along with Healing Yoga for Aches and Pains, renewed my excitement and motivation to exercise. I reviewed tapes from my library, but kept returning to these two time and again. After a couple of weeks I can really feel the difference. The couple on the tape have soothing voices without sounding like they're trying to contrive a mystical effect. I, also, like the way it is broken up into 3 different parts. I work the tape as a whole, but I can see how time constraints or energy would make the shorter sessions ideal.
Excellent yoga video
Reviewer: A viewer from Charleston, IL USAThis video is excellent in every respect. Good instruction. Clear images. Wonderful ambience. Very useful for its intended purpose: healing and wellness. Also useful for any yoga practice. Highly recommend.
A Little Disappointed
I was disappointed in this tape and a companion tape "Healing Yoga for Aches & Pains." They are nothing more than beginning tapes. I was looking for specific recommendations/instructions for specific problems which they did not provide, but newcomers to Yoga might find some basic information of value.
