This review is from: Dahn Yoga for Beginners: Stretch Your Body, Expand Your Mind [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a member of a Dahn Yoga center and I wanted the video for days when I couldn't get to classes. I was both pleased and somewhat disappointed with the video. While the exercises on the video were done extremely well, I felt that the time devoted to each segment was way too short. I would recommend stopping the tape and doing the exercises for longer that the brief time they show if you want to get more benefit from the video.

The setting of the video was very pleasant and peaceful. The explanations of the movements were excellent and easy to follow. I really appreciated that when they would say turn to the left (or right) that you were actually following the direction they were moving, and not THEIR left (or right). So many exercise tapes tell you to move to one direction and they are not doing it in a mirror image so you are actually aimed in the opposite direction and I find those videos confusing, so I was very pleased that Dahn Yoga for Beginners made it so easy to follow the directional movements.

I would hope that Dahn Yoga would produce several videos with each video concentrating on different exercises and allowing plenty of time for each exercise, but I felt that overall this was a wonderful video and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a Tai Chi-type exercise. It is more like Tai Chi than traditional yoga, so please keep that in mind as well.

It would also be beneficial for people to take an actual Dahn Yoga class at a Dahn Yoga center to better acquaint themselves to this style of yoga and to see how the video and the class differs. I am not affiliated with Dahn, and I am only suggesting trying a class at least once. Hope my 2 cents was helpful to you.
