DVD Review: Challanging and you won't outgrow the workout easily
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this video for like the last 9 years and it has now become the only yoga video I use after trying 5 other videos that were lame. The pacing, the challenge level and Patricia's soothing voice and non obnoxious music make for the perfect Yoga video for me and somehow its not that dated, its just very straightfoward.
Even when you are not looking at the screen she talks you through the exact movements to make.
In fact I had a vhs that I used so much, now after 9 years I wore it out! yes the audio track started fading I played that thing so much. So now I'm upgrading to the dvd and its well worth the $.
Highly recommended for those who want a challenge. I haven't outgrown this Yoga workout in 9 years. It was really challenging at first but gently conditions your spine to learn to bend backward with ease, and you feel amazing afterwards.
DVD Review: Madmike
Summary: 2 Stars
The DVD had two sessions - backbends and forward bends. Some of the poses in the forward bends session are very difficult. The really unfortunate aspect of this DVD is that there's no menu selection that allows you to immediately start a session. You either have to sit through the opening dialog for each session or keep hitting the next button. The DVD should have at least three sessions, minimize the opening dialog, and provide better verbal instruction through each pose.DVD Review: Not for the short of breath!
Summary: 5 Stars
Distraught after wearing out my VHS copy of this workout...I was pleased to find it here @ Amazon.com!
When I started this workout I thought "Yeah right!" However after a few months of dedicated practice I mastered about 80% of the poses. I'm still being challenged by it. I usually do these yoga practices AFTER and intense cardio session when my muscles are warm and there's no food in my tummy. Have plenty of water handy and PACE YOURSELF! Don't do anything you are not ready to do.
If you like a challenge try Yoga for Feeling Stronger Everyday. Starring: Marlon Braccia.
DVD Review: My first Yoga DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Watching Patricia Walden in the amazing introduction gave me goosebumps. I was a little scared that she was going to make me try it with her. This was a gift to me from a friend. I was very hesitant to even try Yoga, because of my Christian background. My friend sent two DVDs on Yoga to me because of my horrible battle with degenerative arthritis. She said that it would help, and it has.
I found that Patricia Walden was very pleasant. The sessions were not easy. The fact that I have been working out for many years made it a little easier for me, but I still had a week of very sore muscles. I thought I was flexible, until I saw Patricia. The advise I give anyone who is new to working out is that you need to respect and honor your limitations. I love to feel the sensation of going a little past my comfort zone, but I never will be able to do every move exactly like Patricia. I cannot put my bottom on my feet. My knee joint is not good, but I adjust my poses to honor my body. (Brian Krest said it this way, "There is no perfect pose. Just find a place of sensation and hang out with it". I personally have an easier time with the backbend session than the forward bend session. I found out that my hamstrings and hip flexors are tight.
This is a really good DVD. I don't use it as often as some of the newer ones, but I still do like it. It never makes me feel uncomfortable as far as my Christian convictions go.
DVD Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This tape has more depth than any other tape in this genre. Yes, it is challenging, but so is life.
However, I agree with the other reviewers that it is not for beginners; I would recommend it for the intermediate level student as well as the advanced.
The student simply needs to have some good body alignment and correct muscle usage before embarking on this quest.
Description of Yoga Journal - Yoga Practice for Flexibility
One of yoga's most powerful attributes is its focus on flexibility. Stretching and developing greater flexibility benefits both the mind and body in many ways. In Flexibility Yoga internationally renowned yoga teacher Patricia Walden guides a dynamic two-part yoga workout that can help you increase flexibility range of motion and overall well-being. With her easy-to-use instruction you learn simple yoga techniques to open the back calm and lengthen tense muscles and restore youthful flexibility in every part of the body. This gentle revitalizing yoga-stretch workout for beginners of any age or fitness level will help you feel more fluid and agile throughout every day while helping to prevent injury. Whether you're an athlete or just want to feel more flexible this yoga practice will improve your quality of life.System Requirements:Running Time 85 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HEALTH/FITNESS UPC:?029956011809 Manufacturer No:?120-1304Yoga Journal's more advanced offering of yoga stretching exercises presents two routines for flexibility: back stretches and front stretches. Each routine begins with a short warm up, though if one is not already well practiced in yoga stretching techniques, not to mention already flexible, some of these stretches should not be attempted. Even the so-called "moderate" poses for those with less strength and flexibility are difficult to achieve. Patricia Walden encourages the viewer to practice often and work toward the stretching goals, and conscientiously demonstrates the stretches in a methodical manner. The principles of balance and strength in all parts of the body (achieved by practicing both front and back stretches) is a lofty goal for many, but one to work toward in small increments. The two distinct routines in this video are conveniently presented separately so that they can be combined or practiced alternately. (If you're not already on your way to yogic flexibility, in the beginning you may be sitting out a good part of this video.) The production value, like the other Yoga Journal offerings, is consistently good and even. Certain stretches require props such as yoga blocks, but chairs and phone books are a good substitute for the home user. --Gilia Angell
