DVD Reviews of Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies

DVD Review: yoga for dummies
Summary: 5 Stars

An outstanding video guide for yoga practice! Great for beginners! And the teacher is a real winner!!

DVD Review: really basic
Summary: 3 Stars

Having never done yoga before I was pleased with the level of description and thought that went into this DVD. It certainly gave me a basic understanding of yoga. That said, having worked through the basic routine five times I find working to the DVD really annoying as it doubles the time the exercises should take and I find myself doing it on my own. Yet to try the intermediate level yet though. Bottom line is: if you've not done yoga before then this is great but don't expect to be pulling it off the shelf every day.

DVD Review: good instructor
Summary: 4 Stars

i have really enjoyed this yoga dvd, the instructor is very good. reassuring, nice calm voice, asks you to push yourself, but not hurt yourself. the "for dummies" parts can be a little distracting, but i'm sure that after several times i won't even notice them any more.

DVD Review: Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent video. A lot of people try to do yoga but stop because they are in pain or they twist the wrong way. This video makes sure that doesn't happen. There are step by step instructions through the whole video, making sure that your back and knees are protected at all times. There are also alternative ways to do the poses, for those who have a bad back or something, they can use a chair. While you are doing the poses, you also get educated about where yoga originated and what the benefits are of it. Susan is an awesome teacher, she makes you feel good about what you are doing and after you are done, you aren't in any pain, you feel very much at peace and relaxed.

DVD Review: Just what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars

I am 68 years young, and had never practiced any yoga. I bought Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies to supplement my twice weekly introductory classes, and it is perfect for my needs. It gives me the Daily Dozen poses to help me in between formal class sessions. It delivers what the name promises, and is a perfect way to start the day.

Description of Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies

This workout will de-mystify the mystical so that anyone can experience the fabulous benefits of yoga. Today, many people use yoga to help alleviate back pain, reduce stress, and increase flexibility.

A workout that balances both the body and the mind can be found in the Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies. Fundamental postures are explained and demonstrated slowly with an emphasis on breathing and motion. Sara Ivanhoe teaches 12 basic poses that are termed the "daily dozen" and offers challenges and modifications to each of these moves. Ivanhoe presents these concepts in an approachable and calming manner that adds to the overall relaxed feeling that this session exudes. Newcomers to the practice of yoga will learn jargon, essential postures, and focusing techniques. Experienced participants may find some information redundant, but Ivanhoe offers such thorough explanations about each posture that you can't help but expand your existing knowledge of yoga. As the mountain pose, standing forward bend, and downward facing dog are explained (not to mention the nine other poses within the "daily dozen"), proper body alignment becomes the focus. Meticulous attention is given to the connection between breathing and body movement with several reminders to keep the spine in "neutral alignment." This session ranks great for safety and content and makes yoga accessible to anyone who "always wanted to, but never did." This is a substantial program that can introduce the basics and build your understanding of yoga. --Olivia Voigts
