DVD Reviews of Yoga: Just My Size With Megan Garcia

DVD Review: A GOOD PLACE TO START!
Summary: 5 Stars

I wanted to get started with yoga, and went to my first yoga class. It was an hour of very strenous exercise, and some embarrasingly clumsy attempts on my part. Then I saw yoga videos at the local health food store, and thought "Hey, I could try this at home -- without an audience." I bought two yoga videos on Amazon, this was one of them. This is a great place to start. Megan Garcia is very sweet and upbeat, and the exercises are gentle. I still come back to this video twice a week, when I need a gentler routine. The whole set of poses takes 28 minutes. Anyone who is motivated can find 28 minutes in their day! Go for it!

DVD Review: Enjoyable
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a good product for light, body compatible Yoga. Be warned if you have trouble getting on your knees, it isn't for you. You do spend a good time down on the floor. The instructor is informative and easy to follow. I really enjoy this DVD.

DVD Review: Not for anyone with even a little yoga experience
Summary: 2 Stars

I a real yoga neophyte (< 6 months 1 X weekly class) but I found this disk not at all challenging. I was hoping for something that would supplement the weekly class. This doesn't do it.

DVD Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars

This yoga presentation is wonderful! It's full of positive energy (without being corny) and is a refreshing workout for anyone at any level. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone just starting out, as well as anyone who wants something different to add to their workout collection.

DVD Review: Wonderful, wonderful way to start yoga
Summary: 5 Stars

I most highly recommend this video for any plus size lady (or perhaps those who are out of shape or not flexible) who is curious about yoga. I am plus size and regularly work out, but I have been too intimidated to show up at a yoga studio without some background in it first. The routine in the video will have challenge to it for totally out of shape people, but can be modified to be easier for total beginners. I do this video for relaxation or for a day when I don't want a tough workout. It has given me insight into yoga breathing and basic moves. I only wish there was a follow up video with longer workouts, more challenge and more moves!

Description of Yoga: Just My Size With Megan Garcia

Certified instructor and plus-size model Megan Garcia presents a simple and rewarding introduction to yoga designed for every size and shape. Run time 28 minutes. DVD includes an additional 17 minutes of run time.

Yoga for plus-sized women? Why not, especially when it's presented clearly, simply, and utterly without condescension, which is the case with Just My Size Yoga. Instructor Megan Garcia, a large woman herself, knows that self-consciousness and limitations due to shape and size keep many would-be yoga practitioners from attending actual classes; hence this 45-minute program designed to introduce new students to yoga's many benefits. Garcia promises that a regular yoga practice will promote not only physical well-being (including energy and flexibility) but also confidence, calm, and what she calls "an inner sense of self"--ambitious goals, to be sure, but also attainable ones. The practice consists of three parts. The warm-up focuses on the breath, along with arm lifts, spinal twists, and such; the "workout" section includes some reasonably demanding poses like Warrior 1 and 2 and downward-facing dog (after demonstrating each pose separately, Garcia repeats them as one continuous, flowing sequence), and "deep relaxation" consists of savasana, the so-called "corpse pose." Other elements of Just My Size Yoga include a "special tips" section (with suggestions about using a wall, chairs, or other props to modify the poses) and an interview with Garcia. All in all, this is a gentle, easy, yet effective introduction to yoga. --Sam Graham
