DVD Reviews of Stress Relief Yoga
DVD Review: fast-paced, 20 minute routine - not for beginners
Summary: 3 Stars
If you're just beginning yoga, I'd highly recommend "getting started with yoga" by bodywisdommedia, or Gentle Yoga for Beginners by yoga zone to learn the poses in a more traditionally paced teaching format.
I've only been learning yoga for the past two months, and still consider myself a beginner. I picked up a copy of this from the public library as I was trying to figure out which DVDs to purchase for my home practice (highly recommend your public library's educational DVD section!).
Suzanne Deason's quickly executed instructions seem like the opposite of Peggy Cappy's "yoga for the rest of us" lessons, which I think go a little too slow (to account for Peggy's older, less traditional audience). Suzanne goes through the poses a little too quickly for my taste, and doesn't allow time to "breathe into" the poses. She also doesn't account for those of us who have to watch the screen first to see what she's doing before doing it ourselves - a subtle extra second in each pose would have helped a lot.
If this "stress relief yoga for beginners" really IS for beginners, I'd label it advanced amateur. My knees did not like the progression of poses or the pace they were practiced. You also need to know that while she uses props without warning (the brick and a strap) she also neglects to give any sort of intro saying that if you can't go as deeply into a pose it's ok. At one point she tells you to get your knees to your armpits, or rest your head on the brick, and my body just isn't able to do that.
If you are brand new to yoga, I'd recommend finding a beginner yoga class at a local yoga studio or gym, and attending a few classes to learn with a live instructor before trying to do anything on your own at home.
For this disc to be more helpful and user-friendly, I think there should be an intro to the session with demonstrations of different poses and instructions about alternate poses. There is a second section with interviews and info about props, but you wouldn't think to watch that first.
I also think they need to repackage the dvd to let people know it's fast paced, for advanced beginners, and that the routine necessitates props.
