Sharing the many benefits of yoga ( stress relief, weight loss, increased energy) Licensed Rehab therapy practitioner and certified yoga instructor, Suzanne Andrews, walks beginning students through therapeutic yoga poses with grace and inspiration. Set on a beautiful calm ocean, the benefits of each movement are listed onscreen with excellent instruction on breathing techniques. A 10 minute guided meditation at the end with beautiful scenic shots of nature are an instant stress release. Very motivational as a weight loss aid. Beginners Dynamic Yoga for Stress Release and Weight Loss As Seen on TVRecommended for Plus size, or seniors or absolute beginners. There are no pretzel poses in this program.

Definitely for beginners. If you have had any introduction to yoga, you will likely find this too easy. That being said, it is relaxing. Very low impact. If you are typically fairly active you will likely find this too short (you may want to do some of the poses several times to feel like you are getting more of a work-out). If you are just starting a work-out program, rehabing, or purely want something for stress relief, than you will probably like this.

I love this DVD and it seems like something that I could easily do 3 times a week and stick with. No, it is not a high impact or cardio workout, but it is not meant to be. The thing with yoga is that you can improve even the simplest pose each time you do it. This is great for beginners but also a very nice stretching workout for more advanced people.
Also, being over fifty, moving everyday is so important. I find that when I do this I don't feel as achey. The music, scenery, and the instructor are all really fabulous and work well together. Very happy with this purchase. I've bought other Dvds that were very challenging...did them a few times and then stopped. I feel like this is something very healthy and easy to do everyday. I also like the meditation at the end with affirmations for losing weight. Great job!
