DVD Reviews of Yoga Ball Body Therapy System
DVD Review: Needs a Better Instructional DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
My review is mixed. I like the balls that come with this kit--you get three and there are other kits that cost the same and deliver only one or two balls, however, the DVD is not what I was expecting since the exercises demonstrated on the balls are too few.
I am looking for another DVD from some other instructor to unlock the potential for this tool kit.
I have a number of Rodney Yee DVDs and I really like his approach to yoga, but having said that---I can't rate this DVD very highly as an instructional tool for using the balls. Yee only demonstrates a few massage/exercise options with the balls and spends most of the DVD doing yoga with a student--without incorporating the balls.
So the balls are great, the single neck, lower back, arm and stomach instructions he gives--really minimal--are good, but limited, and for an instructor of this calibre I would have expected a much more nuanced treatment of the potential of the balls to ease muscle tension.
Granted Yee is yoga oriented and he's not likely to to omit yoga altogether, but realistically people buying this particular kit would benefit from a more extensive focus on exercises that can be done directly on the balls, not after a yoga session.
So should you buy it? If you are really looking for an all over tension releaser--something to show you what all these balls can do --then no.
If you have neck issues, lower back issues --then you might want to get the system and just stick the balls under your neck and lower back as instructed. But you can use two tennis balls to the same effect and roll your lower back on them--also feet and hands on one, and then put two under your cervical spine at the base of the skull for your neck.
I had a nueromuscular therapist teach me how to do that. You can probably google for the same. I was hoping for a little more instruction from Yee.
Just FYI, the other main product of this type at Amazon has the same issue in its customer reviews. The DVD does not really offer much in the way of instruction.
hope that helps
best,
Karen
