DVD Reviews of Chair and Standing Routines: Ageless Yoga, Vol. 1 - Great for Seniors and for People Unable to Sit on the Ground
DVD Review: senior workout
Summary: 4 Stars
The video is very good. The instructor has a great routine. The routine is great for seniors or people that have stand up problems.DVD Review: A really good practice for people with heart problems
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a present to someone who has heart problems, and the practice actually looks so nice I'd wish to do it myself, too! It is perfect for those who need to take it slow for one reason or the other.DVD Review: An Excellent Yoga Instructional DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I was impressed with the variety and amount of material on this DVD, and how clearly the material was presented. I got an excellent work-out and stretch for every part of my body, not to mention relaxation, meditation, and breathing and balance work. The routines seem to be systematically designed and they are enjoyable to do; they also are especially helpful for people who have injuries or other physical limitations. Having taken yoga classes in the past, I was impressed by how effective the instruction was on this DVD and how great I felt after using it.
DVD Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this DVD for my Mother who is a 77 year lung old cancer survivor and who had to have a hip replacement a few years ago. My hope was that the DVD might get her moving a little, but in fact the DVD has become a guiding force in her life! She has gone from having an almost entirely sedentary lifestyle to practicing yoga with this DVD at least five times a week, and I have seen enormous improvements in her sense of balance, strength and level of energy. John Schlorholtz skillfully presents an essentially therapeutic approach to yoga practice and makes is accessible, non-threatening and practicable for those who really need it's healing power. Wonderful and deceptively deep, finding this DVD has been a real blessing- I feel grateful to this guy!DVD Review: Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed when I began viewing this DVD. I was hoping to find Yoga poses done sitting and perhaps gentle standing poses. However, in my opinion, there were no Yoga poses at all. Most of the video was simple joint releasing movements and basic stretches. Of course, this is all quite beneficial. My opinion, though, is that calling it "Yoga" is a bit misleading.

Description of Chair and Standing Routines: Ageless Yoga, Vol. 1 - Great for Seniors and for People Unable to Sit on the Ground
This DVD offers a wide variety of Yoga options for people of all sizes, shapes and ages. A principal Yoga instructor at the Harvard University Center for Wellness for over fifteen years, John Schlorholtz has created a number of innovative, flowing routines that are safe for seniors and people with injuries or disabilities, including extensive segments for people who are chair-bound.At the same time, the DVD offers people of any age or physical condition a deep, gentle work-out. "My main hope for the Ageless Yoga DVD series is that, not only will people get a good, appropriate work-out, but that they will also learn skills and information about posture and how their bodies work that will help them in their daily lives," says John. "I also hope the DVD's transmit the real joy of working with body and breath."
Keli Ballinger, Director of the Harvard Wellness Center, calls John's work, "great for young and old, stiff and flexible, and those with medical conditions, including arthritis."
The DVD contains about two hours of material that has been organized into dozens of routines. Ranging in length from five or six minutes to eighty or ninety minutes, the workouts are easy to fit into busy schedules. Topics covered include loosening up, joint freedom, strength, stretch, balance, breathing, and relaxation and meditation. No other DVD in the field is this extensive.
"As the population of America continues to age, more and more Yoga instructors are trying to figure out how to adapt Yoga to bodies that don't fit the standard Yoga formulas so that people can still get the proven benefits that Yoga offers," says John. "These DVD's represent my response to that issue, based on my years of Yoga practice with diverse populations."
