DVD Reviews of Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga, Single Chair Yoga Vol. 1

DVD Review: This is for absolutely beginners only
Summary: 3 Stars

If you are an absolute beginner and need to begin from a chair, then this DVD will have some useful information for you. Having said that, I need to say that I was disappointed in the content, as I am a certified yoga instructor and was looking for some fresh ideas for chair yoga since I teach this, as well as floor yoga, on a regular basis. The problem, as I see it, is not so much with the DVD as with its description. If the description had said this DVD is for beginners only, I would not have purchased it, and therein lies my dissatisfaction. It was also my understanding that this comes with a book. It does not. You get the DVD with some simple instructions, and that's it.

DVD Review: excellent chair yoga!
Summary: 5 Stars

I teach a Senior fitness class at an Asst. Living Home and this video is just what they needed. The balance routine is very rewarding. Challenging but not to tough.

DVD Review: nothing physical
Summary: 1 Stars

If your goal is to sit, breath and relax this is fine. If you are interested in being led through gentle, seated movements to gently maintain or regain some flexibility....look elsewhere.

DVD Review: A good beginning
Summary: 4 Stars

I believe the most important basic element of yoga is the breath. This video shows a beginner the basic breath techniques for the belly breath and the rib breath. Exercises are simple and precisely explained and demonstrated. I highly recommend it for anyone who may be intimidated by the human pretzels and the sanskrit names for poses.

DVD Review: Yoga teacher recommends this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a Kripalu certified yoga teacher. I also did Lakshmi's chair yoga teacher training at Kripalu. I was looking for something to recommend to one of my yoga students, a paraplegic, when I bought this DVD. This DVD would be perfect for anyone in a wheelchair or with limited mobility. Lakshmi includes an instructional section that breaks down each pose with great detail, and then a shorter version of the class without the instructional detail. Her delightful personality shines through and the class feels wonderful. She includes two classes, one is an energizing series and one is a balancing series. There is also a relaxation track. I have Lakshmi's audio CD, but I like this DVD much better. The DVD is much easier to follow because of the visual queues. It appears to be recorded in her home which is decorated nicely with greens and purples, adding to the sense of calm one feels viewing the DVD.

Description of Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga, Single Chair Yoga Vol. 1

This DVD contains two Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga classes, each based on yoga postures and breathing techniques as well as other Eastern and Western health practices. These classes are performed entirely on a chair, so regardless of your age or your fitness level, you derive all the health benefits.

Lakshmi employs two techniques in her DVD that make it easy to follow and accessible to a broad audience.

First, she presents each class in two formats. One format is the Step-By-Step Instruction which guides you in detail so you can master the how and the why of each class. The other format is the Regular Routine which guides you using fewer words so you can perform each class easily and effortlessly.

Second, she takes into account the fact that everyone has a different level of flexibility (range of motion). You may even have varying flexibility between your upper and lower body and your right and left sides. Lakshmi demonstrates how to vary movements so you can adapt them to your level of flexibility that day.
