This review is from: Yoga Emergency- The 12 Minute Workout with Kristen Eykel- Arms & Shoulders (DVD)

Kundalini yoga instructor and wellness consultant Kristen Eykel offers this short yoga routine for Arms & Shoulders, one of five DVDs in her 12-Minute Yoga Emergency Series. The 12.5 minute yoga session is performed entirely in a seated position. The workout begins in easy pose with neck stretches: lateral, up and down, and then neck rolls. Eykel follows this with a tricep stretch and then a seated twist, half lord of the fishes pose (she generally does not give names for the postures). Next you can see the influence of Eykel's Kundalini background with her inclusion of a seated torso twist, performed with the arms raised in a 90-degrees position for about one minute. Stretches for the arms and shoulders follow, including seated eagle arms and hands clasped behind the back. After this, Eykel performs another Kundalini-like move involving stretching alternate arms up with the breath. Eykel concludes this practice with wrist circles, stretches for the fingers, and a final "sat nam."

Following the yoga routine, there is an approximately 11-minute meditation for Arms & Shoulders (about 2 minutes of guided relaxation continuing with 8 minutes of nature sounds) There are three Stressbusters on this DVD, each about a minute long: a brief introduction to Reflexology, the use of Aromatherapy, and information on Flying & Stress. Overall, this Arms & Shoulders DVD offers the option of a gentle, short yoga workout addressing an area that becomes tight for many of us as a result of modern life.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this DVD!!, February 8, 2009

Yoga Emergency for arms & shoulders is awesome. I'm a competitive tennis player. As many athletes do, I tend to push myself and overdo it. Yoga Emergency is the fastest, easiest way i've found to loosen up my super stiff shoulder and stretch out my arms. Not only does it help relieve soreness after i've played, but Kristen's routine added some great new stretches to my stretching routine. I am going to buy Yoga Emergency Full Leg Stretch right now! Kristen rocks!

This review is from: Yoga Emergency- The 12 Minute Workout with Kristen Eykel- Arms & Shoulders (DVD)

I bought this dvd because I was constantly getting tension headaches due to tightness in my neck and shoulders. I tried pain relievers and thermacare and both only dulled the pain. This dvd released the tension the very first time I tried it and it has not failed me since. I no longer take anything for these headaches, I just do my 12 minute dvd and I am feeling great! Anyone can do the moves in this dvd and you will feel fantastic. I also like the full leg stretch dvd in this series.
