An Excellent beginning DVD for those who 'hurt' - Reviewed on 2008-01-12
3 customers found this review helpful.
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.
