I have owned this recording (first in VHS which we wore out, now in DVD) for many years. It is the only one of its kind that we all can do without giving up in frustration. I own many others, but have learned that when the routine starts out with the instructor in Lotus position, you might as well give up. And even though Susan Winter Ward is pictured in the Lotus position, there's none of that on the actual video. Her instructions are clear and motivating, her participants are real people who despite their age put my 29-year-old daughter to shame, and the routine is easily adapted to your individual level but still very effective. Never once do you feel like you might as well give up because you'll never get there. This is truly the very best for 'the rest of us'. If you are the typical office dweller and are trying to increase your flexibility and learn to deal with the stresses of daily life, buy this video no matter what your age!!

I purchased this video based on the all the favorable reviews and, as an older beginner, I am quite disappointed by it. There are no modifications shown for the poses and, although there are older people participating in the class, they are all able to do everything with no problem. This is discouraging. It does not show how to modify the poses using props of any kind. I am still looking for a video that shows more variation.

This is one of the best yoga videos I've ever used. I originally bought this for my 85 year old mother (I'm 45) and liked it so well I got one for myself. It's a nice, slow, relaxing session that targets virtually every part of the body with nice easy stretching. I would also recommend Kripalu Yoga Dynamic by Stephen Cope. Young at Heart is a much shorter session which is nice when there's not a lot of time. The Kripalu tape is a much longer - about 90 minutes.

I'm new at this and I find this video "do-able". I am not flexibility at all but I hope to improve in time. This video gets you breathing and moving, and I find myself looking forward to this 45 minute workout. It doesn't ask you to do anything crazy. You'll feel better.

My wife and I are in our thirties and have never done yoga of any kind before. Both of us want to gain more flexibility and strength. We envy the the flexibility of some of th seniors in the video regardless thier age. We have tried other yoga videos from our local and library but keep coming back to this one.
