DVD Reviews of Yoga For Inflexible People
DVD Review: Great beginner DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this DVD because I am interested in learning yoga for flexibility and strength, but I am very unflexible. The DVD is a great way to start yoga, increasing the exercises as your flexibility improves. DVD Review: What I was Looking For
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a terrible accident almost 11 years ago, and after that everything hurt, so I stopped doing the things that hurt, and I became my body's worst enemy, all my muscles got tight and uncomfortable, and a few times a year my back would go out and that seemed, while terrible, normal. I got down on the fit path, and I do a very good workout routine now, but I still hated stretching because I was so inflexible, and the back still went out.
I moved from stretching into this yoga video. It might not be like a complete smooth routine, but you can plan your own routine from the dvd menu screen. And you are slowly learning to move your body into a more flexible structure. I suppose the philosophy of yoga is not explained very well if at all, however, right now my concern is to get my body back to mostly limber. Once I feel that these positions have helped me do that I will hopefully move on to full routines.
If you have wanted to try yoga but are either overweight or inflexible, this program is a very gentle, sensible introduction to allow you to try and not feel foolish.
This program can be tailored to fit your needs every day, you can choose a strength program, a flexibility program or relaxation or energizing. You can also move between the body parts you would like to exercise, your back, your hips, your arms, your legs, you get the picture. That is how you can build up to 35 different programs.
This was really what I was looking for. This is for the beginner, who has been intimidated by yoga in the past.
DVD Review: Lacks flow
Summary: 3 Stars
For the most part, positions feel too isolated in this DVD. I wish it felt more like a yoga class, with positions flowing from one to the next to create a routine. I don't like the screen going black between positions. You'll perform one position standing, the screen goes black, and then you're sitting, without having gotten there by means of a position like forward fold. I would have preferred routines which stretch my whole body in one routine and don't really like the focus on individual body parts for an hour. I would also have preferred routines which move you from standing to seated and back, instead of focusing on one or the other. Some of the positions are shown opposite of the narration - when the narrator tells you to bend your right leg, the demonstrator bends her left, which is somewhat confusing. I do like the option for shorter or longer routines, depending on how much time I have.DVD Review: As Promised
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD really is for inflexible people. I am fairly inflexible at this point in my life and want to get it back before it is too late. I tried this DVD that was recommened by a friend of mine who had the same issues.
The instruction is at a pace I can follow and it is easy to understand. There is alot of material to work with 6 main sections and a selection of routines for each section. Each section has a good basics/short section to start you off (legs, shoulders, hips etc.) and I started with those before working on the rest and it has helped.
Highly recommened.
DVD Review: disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
i probabaly shouldnt write this until i give it a second try but my first impression didnt go over too well. i found it tooo slow and i am qualified for less than yoga 101. it seemed bland and uninspiring ...but i own it soo i will give it another chance if i change my mind i will come back and re-star it.
Description of Yoga For Inflexible People
Yoga For Inflexible People, a DVD that the Yoga Journal called "One of the most intelligent and useful presentations served up in a long time" upon the DVDs release and which was ranked by the Yoga Journal in December 2006 as one the Top 5 Yoga DVDs ever produced, is for anyone who considers themselves inflexible. The yoga postures developed 5,000 years ago were not created for people who are already flexible, but rather to help inflexible people become more flexible. A wide range of poses are taught and modified to help both beginning and intermediate students experience the benefits of yoga. The modifications includes suggestions for the use of props, which can be either actual yoga props or items you have around the home, such as a belt or books, to assist you when you feel you need additional assistance. Customized workouts allow you to progress at your own pace and the DVD contains dozens of routines which designed to carefully guide you along your journey into yoga. Running Time:Yoga isn't just for people who are already supple--it's a way to become more flexible. Yoga for Inflexible People presents modifications and props to make traditional poses accessible to people who could not otherwise perform them comfortably or correctly. You get more than 35 workouts and about four hours of instruction and practice in all. Choose a general workout, focus on an area of the body (shoulders, legs, hips, and back), or select a peaceful or energizing workout. Within each category, you have a choice of several different 15- to 75-minute series (some seated), much more variety than most videos offer. Some of the poses are beginning level; others are not. Leader Judi Rice demonstrates well, instructing by voice-over, though her expressionless face lacks warmth and personality. You'll need a yoga mat, blocks (or large books), a long strap or belt, a chair, and blankets. --Joan Price
