Very Good January 1, 2009
Brandie Covill
I started doing yoga videos to help with my flexibility and some pain a little while ago and have been happy with my results so far and feel definate improvements and feeling better.

I added this DVD to my routines since it was designed to be for beginners and help with pain and it is been fitting the bill. There are three main sections, one seated, one standing and one on the floor, that help focus on breathing and are designed so beginners can do it easily. I really like the relaxation section since that is one area I always find myself needing to work on.

Highly recommended.

Too fast, too rehearsed May 17, 2008

Definitely not for a yoga beginner. The narration is twice as fast as I can actually do the poses and the narrator isn't actually doing them. The poses have been over-rehearsed and are too fast to follow. The music covers up the narrator part of the time. I have arthritis and other pain so I can't do the poses at breakneck speed. I'm giving my copy to a charity yard sale.

Amazing! February 5, 2008

This is an amazing video for anyone, but especially for people with chronic pain, who cannot exercise normally. I highly recommend it - it is very soothing and the backdrop of the ocean and mountains is beautiful! Charles and Lisa Matkin lovingly teach you the basics of using yoga for pain relief and it has truly helped me.

An Excellent beginning DVD for those who 'hurt' January 12, 2008

This DVD perfectly meets my desire for a guided program of yoga that addresses specific aches, pains and 'hurts'. The poses are adaptive, so that almost anyone can do them, but more challenging alternatives are offered as your flexibility improves. It's gentle, but you know you have used your body. I especially like the use of chairs to adapt, prop up or extend your reach.

I don't guarantee that you'll just spring up from your first session and be healed forever. In fact, as I crawled off my mat, I wondered if I'd be able to stand up! But within :30 or so, my body felt more relaxed and flexible. Within a week, I was feeling much better where it hurt- the lower back. I alternate this now with Dr. Lamm's 'Tai Chi for Arthritis' and feel that they compliment each other nicely. By taking it easy and working gradually into the routine, you can gain flexibility, better posture and yes, more painlessness.

Excellent to get started or get well September 24, 2007

I love this DVD. The yoga is gentle, controlled and focuses on breathing and proper technique for healing the body. It is geared to beginners and to those with injuries and pain. Doing the workout on a regular basis has helped to restore flexibility and strength so that I can begin more intense workouts. If you're just looking to relax, this is a good way to get started as well.
