DVD Reviews of Yoga for the Rest of Us with Peggy Cappy

DVD Review: It is good for you IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A LOWER BACK PROBLEM.....
Summary: 4 Stars

This DVD is a nice stretch for the whole body, the standing poses could be a little trickie on the lower back, my lower back is very sensitive and I pulled it while doing this DVD, so be careful again if you do have a back problem.

DVD Review: very helpful
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a yoga teacher and teach a gentle yoga class for people over 50. Many of my students have medical problems, like Parkinson's, osteoporosis, dizziness, arthritis, etc. I have used many of Peggy Cappy's ideas to modify traditional yoga to make it accessible for my students. The students tell me how much better they feel, and how they are sleeping better and have better posture.

When my students ask for suggestions on how they can do yoga more oten than once a week at our class, I always suggest this video and the others by Peggy Cappy. She exlains and demonstrates clearly, and offers several levels of difficulty so that students can choose what is appropriate for them. She is very relaxing and soothing.

DVD Review: Accessible Yoga for All Ages and Abilities
Summary: 5 Stars

Yoga for the Rest of Us by Peggy Cappy is a DVD that can help beginners of all ages and fitness levels discover the benefits of yoga. If you think you are too old, too out of shape, or not flexible enough to try yoga, the students in this DVD demonstrate otherwise.

Cappy, a New Hampshire based yoga teacher with over 20 years experience offers gentle senior yoga classes where many of the participants are 70+. You may have seen her on PBS.

In Yoga for the Rest of Us, she leads 4 of her students of varying ages and abilities through a one hour session that can done all at once or divided into three 20-minute segments, that include Warm-Ups, Standing Poses, and a Flowing Series of modified sun salutations that concludes with a nice long relaxation.

The DVD begins with Cappy's introduction, where she discusses the many benefits of yoga, her purpose for producing the DVD, as well as a review of what to expect and how to proceed. Her delivery in the introduction and throughout Yoga for the Rest of Us is warm, sincere, and engaging. The pacing slow and deliberate.

Part I, the warm-up stretches, are all done seated in a chair and begins with an exercise in learning to tune into your breathing and noticing the sensations you are feeling in your body. It provides a good transition out of the busyness of your day, and into your yoga practice. She then leads you through a series of gentle stretches beginning with your neck, and then moving down your body to your shoulders, torso, wrists, hands, feet, and legs.

Part 2, is dedicated to standing poses that are designed to build leg strength and improve balance. The poses are all demonstrated with several modifications and variations to accommodate different levels of ability. Those who are less steady use a chair for support.

Basic yoga poses such as mountain pose, tree pose, warrior pose, triangle, and downward facing dog are performed slowly and methodically with detailed alignment instructions. Cappy, encourages you to make the adjustments necessary to accommodate your specific needs, something that I think is extremely important for staying safe as you begin to practice yoga.

Part 3 of Yoga for the Rest of Us begins with modified sun salutations, a flowing series of poses that are demonstrated both with a chair for support and without. She encourages you to only do as much as feels right as you begin.

The DVD concludes with a few gentle compensation poses for your back and a nice long guided relaxation - the restorative reward for your earlier yoga practice.

If you are looking for a gentle yoga DVD that can help you increase your flexibility, strength and balance, Yoga for the Rest of Us is worth a closer look.

Highly Recommended

DVD Review: Yes to yoga!
Summary: 5 Stars

Peggy Cappy does a great job of making the yoga poses adaptable for any level of fitness and flexibility. I had not been doing any exercising
recently, and I suffer from chronic back pain, so I was really out of shape. I was able to follow along and do all of the poses (simplifying as needed) from the very first time. By now I'm able to improve my form and keep on getting benefit from this same lesson. On this DVD you see various members of Peggy's yoga class performing the poses with her and adapting to show the viewer the different possibilities. The background music is quiet and calming, and the photography is crisp and clear. As Peggy says, as long as you are challenging your own fitness level, you are getting full benefit of the yoga exercises. Happy yoga!

"You don't need to be thin, young, and a contortionist to do this program," says instructor Peggy Cappy. Yoga for the Rest of Us is a yoga practice for people who might be inflexible, out of shape, or feeling aches and pains. Cappy presents three 20-minute routines that work separately or together. Part 1 is a series of warm-up seated stretches. Part 2 presents standing poses, holding a chair if needed. Part 3 is a flowing series of Sun Salutations, building stamina, and again using a chair if necessary, followed by relaxation. Public television yoga instructor Cappy teaches gently and quietly, accompanied by demonstrators of various ages and conditions. Recommended for people who thought that yoga was beyond them because of age, medical conditions, or fitness level, especially those with functional challenges, such as not being able to bend down or reach for a top shelf. --Joan Price
