This Yoga CD is a must for anyone and everyone--a beginner in yoga, a proficient in yoga, or someone just thinking about starting yoga. This yoga CD is one of the most gentle, soothing and relaxing yoga instructions I have ever practiced. It gets you in touch with your body, its sensations, and how wonderfully the body works. It also keeps you in tune with the mind, body, spirit connection. The instructor continually keeps you focused on your breath, which is a necessary element in yoga exercises. The topper of this yoga CD is at the end in the short meditation exercise in which the instructor guides you into a very relaxed state. At the end of this CD, my body feels wonderful and I am so relaxed I do not want to get up! If you lead a hectic life or just had a tough day, I urge you to get this yoga CD and practice it regularly. You will feel like a different person afterwards. This is a beautiful CD. One that I would not want to be without.

After ordering and trying a number of yoga Cds and videos, this is one of the few gentle yoga CDs that actually is very gentle. It is divided into tracks with the first and last being for relaxation. The second track consists of very slow stretching postures. If you want more of a workout, the next track has all the familiar postures(downward dog, warrior, etc) This gives you a great choice for that day's practice. I am using it almost daily and enjoy it very much. I had been looking for something to take on my travels, and this is it. I even bought an extra to give as a gift.

JG's Gentle Yoga CD provides the best self-directed yoga sessions I have ever had. I bicycle twenty-five miles one day, then do Yoga the next day. Without this CD keeping me flexible I would have to reduce my cycling. I have been posturing with this CD for seven weeks but have not grown tired of my JG directed solo yoga sessions.
I would describe this Yoga as a range from low intermediate to high intermediate in complexity and challenge, depending on how deep into the poses you follow and how long you hold them. I doubt anyone who has NOT attended several introductory yoga classes could figure out the postures on this CD, so it is not for beginners.
If Amazon offered a second Yoga CD by JG I would purchase it TODAY.

This CD couldn't be better. It is everything it is supposed to be.
Each pose is easily achieved as it is described in great detail.
Jenny Garrison has a very soothing yoga voice and there is no
distracting background noise.

Very good yoga class. Easy warm up, nice stretches, easy to follow instructions and a wonderful relaxation at the end. Full hour and 15 minute class. Great for seniors or those wanting easy gentle stretching.

The reason I gave "Gentle Yoga" only two stars is because it is only audio. I neglected to see that when I ordered. If it had picture it would be much easier to follow. With only audio it was hard for me to understand and visualize the poses.
