DVD Reviews of Yoga for Stress Relief (With The Dalai Lama)
DVD Review: Very Good
Summary: 5 Stars
Another good DVD by Barabra which focuses on particular stress related issues, with some general relaxation sessions.
Beginning and Ending Your Day - 5 routines to start/end your day
Neck, Shoulder, and Back Issues - 5 routines focusing on stress in theose areas, including a very good routine for headaches.
Easing Your Mind - 5 general relaxing sessions.
Stomach and Digestion Issues - 4 routines to work on digestion.
If you have AM/PM by her, the routines are different here and just as enjoyable and work as a good addition. The other sections are invaluable for the times you need what they offer with the Beginning/Ending Day sections and Easing Your Mind good for general use also.
DVD Review: Yoga Dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first dvd I've bought for yoga having done it in a class and on my own for many years I was impressed that it has many different sections and lengths that you can choose and covers most levels. I regularly do the morning hour as it covers most things and have found the sections helping each part of the body invaluable to help with the stresses and strains we all get especially the lower back - brilliant! I bought it partly because of the intro from the dalai lama and have also been impressed by her meditation at the end of the sections.DVD Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
[...] The title is misleading, but it is everything that this DVD is NOT - relaxing, well rounded, and filmed in a good manner. The reviewed product was jumpy, with each pose being edited in, NOT smooth or relaxing at all. In fact, I could only handle about 15 minutes of the dang DVD before I got off and shut it off and threw it in the trash. NOT relaxing or restful, or well made. Terrible production quality. Plus her instructing was off and her voice is not soothing. [...]DVD Review: Great Selections
Summary: 5 Stars
Yoga For Stress Relief is a great addition to any yoga practice based on what it does - helping to reduce stress as the title says it does. It does it with well instructed and easy to follow yoga routines that are broken down into a few catagories.
Beginning and Endng Your Day (routines to energize or wind down as needed), Neck Shoulder and Back Issues (routines to help target areas that can lead to headaches, shoulder pain, etc.), Easing Your Mind (poses that are generally relaxing/meditative in nature, including 3 routines of 15-20 minutes that are great to do no matter what) and Stomach and Digestion Issues.
For the times you need something to further help reduce stress or certain physical issues that come up, this is a good DVD to have.
DVD Review: Very pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many people these days, my stress levels have gone way up. It was starting to affect my health and my die-hard yogini brother suggested I give yoga a try. I have to say that I had no expectations and bought a few DVDs he suggested just to keep the family peace. I started with the Beginner DVD by the same instructor to get familiar with yoga and see what I thought. I liked it and moved on to the Stress Relief program.
This DVD is great. The routines are well thought and will help you with whatever issue they are for. This program is for working out specific muscle and system issues.
It doesn't specify a specific experience level and I felt it is designed for people of all levels. Really experienced people should enjoy the routines for what they are designed for.
Description of Yoga for Stress Relief (With The Dalai Lama)
Over the centuries, yoga practitioners have discovered the secret to achieving optimal health, vitality and happiness. For the first time, this path to living a longer, happier life is revealed on a single DVD. Excessive stress and negative mental attitudes in our daily lives are the greatest obstacles to achieving serenity, good health & well-being. This DVD teaches step by step, easy to follow practices to reduce negative thoughts & emotions while promoting positive thinking. With over 20 routines to address negative mental, emotional and physical issues, this DVD is the most comprehensive DVD of its kind. This DVD also includes an UNPRECEDENTED 30 minute instruction on meditation with the Dalai Lama! This exclusive discussion of meditation with the Dalai Lama himself appears only on this deluxe edition DVD. Considered one of the greatest influencers of our time, the Dalai Lama has spent his life teaching people how to be happy and promote positive thinking. His teachings are world renowned and this special bonus discusses both the benefits and techniques of meditation to promote positive thinking and cultivate happiness. Never before has a DVD revealed how to overcome dozens of common physical, mental and emotional conditions through the ancient science of yoga. This revolutionary, interactive system allows you to choose from 20 customized routines that range from 15-60 minutes and target common issues.Yoga instructor Barbara Benagh has practiced and taught yoga for nearly 35 years. She discovered yoga while living in England and began teaching there. She moved to Boston and opened The Yoga Studio on Beacon Hill in 1980.
In addition to her local classes Barbara teaches yoga seminars throughout the US and internationally. She is a regular contributor of articles to Yoga Journal magazine. She has several audio CDs of live classes available as well as DVDs, the latest being Yoga for Beginners released by Body + Soul magazine, and Yoga for Stress Relief that includes a discussion on meditation from the Dalai Lama.
Barbara was kind enough to answer some questions from Amazon.com about this unique line of yoga DVDs.

I was drawn to working with Bodywisdommedia because they produce DVDs they are interactive. Rather than a "one size fits all" single routine that is typical of most products, these DVDs offer choice, allowing the user to customize and change their yoga practice to suit their needs. No two persons are the same so the ability to change your practice - easing shoulder tension one day and an invigorating morning wake up the next - come as close as possible to allowing you to address your individual needs at home. Not only do people have different physical needs, but they have different time constraints as well. If you have only 20 minutes, there is a practice for you but there are longer practices as well (some as long as 90 minutes) that address the total body/mind connection. The sheer number of yoga sequences offered on each of these DVDs is a first. They are incredibly comprehensive.
How were you able to get the Dalai Lama involved?
This project dovetailed perfectly with the Dalai Lama's message that modern stress is one of the greatest obstacles to our mental happiness and physical wellbeing. Because we are long-time sincere practitioners, having a 30-minute lecture of the Dalai Lama teaching how to meditate on the Yoga for Stress Relief DVD was a perfect fit. Bodywisdommedia also has a broader relationship with the Office of Tibet and are releasing historic lectures with "A Path to Happiness" being the first one.
How will potential buyers of these DVDs know which one is right for them?
The titles are very indicative of what appears on the DVD and therefore a good guide. I really enjoyed making Yoga for Stress Relief because it is incredibly relevant. We strove to make the sequences accessible to as many people as possible, whether they are a beginner or long time practitioner. Yoga for Beginners is a great, non-threatening place to get started and includes lots of sound technique developed over my 30 years as a yoga teacher. Power Yoga for Every Body is a bit more challenging taking you from the beginning level and gradually progressing to much more demanding routines.
