Yoga For Beginners

Yoga For Beginners I Have two disk lower back that are bad. I have been three DR's no help and then went to a rheumatism and she send me to a real Back Dr and he stated if I do the surgery there is a 40% you will be worst. But, this DVD has helped my core back to be not in pain. I'm 5'7" and 135# and 53 years or age. If I can not have a surgery I'm better off. So, good for me and good for the DVD and Barbara Benagh for helping me thru the pain. And of course finding the the right Doctors to treat the pain and encourage me to do core back exercise to help my pain. Quess what it helped and do yourself the same.

This is my first yoga DVD and so far I don't think I could have made a better choice.

The length of the routines in the Getting Started section are all about 20-30 minutes. The instruction is really clear and the routines move at a comfortable pace. After about 3 weeks of using this DVD twice a week for about a half hour I started finding that that my body is able to do a little more each time and it's starting to really come together for me.

Remember to not skip the interview. You'll get some great info about the instructors approach and about yoga in general.

I borrowed a few videos from my sister. This was one I liked enough to get my own copy. I've enjoyed the variety of routines it offers. Different lengths and focusing on different things like hips, backbends, strength and others. This is a very nicely done video. Good, clear instruction, lots of variety and a lovely beach setting.

My wife has been trying to get me to do yoga. I'm not the yoga type I told her I'd try a couple of her DVDs and see what I thought. I'll admit it, I was wrong about yoga. Half an hour in and I was hooked by how it made me feel. I started slowly, twice a week and have been sticking to it now for 4 months or so. Wish I'd listened to her earlier because I can see the added flexibility and different kind of conditioning really started helping me in my golf game, softball and other things like that.

I wanted to give yoga a try for help in flexibility,so I purchased this DVD, and it has far exceeded my expectations. I think it will help me with flexibility( I've only had it a week),but it has helped me, surprisingly enough, in relaxing. I think the mental health benefits will outweigh the physical benefits for me. One routine in particular, "a gentle unwind" has been just wonderful. In fact, I've just ordered Barbara's "Yoga for Stress Relief" because this routine came from that DVD. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants physical activity that is truly relaxing and calming.
