4.0 out of 5 stars
Very well done workout but with limited application., March 13, 2003
This review is from: Healing Yoga: Aches & Pains [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I've been practicing yoga with videos for some time now, and I thought that this would be a relaxing workout which would help with my frequent headaches. However, I discovered that the video is more focused towards bodily aches and pains--namely neck pain, back pain, arthritis, or injuries. For someone suffering from one of those conditions and who has only a limited range of motion, this tape might be useful. It is a led my a husband and wife team, Charles and Lisa, and broken into three 10 minutes sections. The first, in which Lisa demostrates and Charles provides voiceover, is a series of seated poses on a chair with a strong emphasis on breathing. Charles leads the second section with Lisa's voiceover; this section includes gentle standing postures using the chair for assistance. In the final section, Lisa again leads, this time demonstrating a series of floor poses for relaxation. Anyone who has some prior experience with yoga is likely to find this video to be much too easy, but for those who are absolute beginners and/or those who have chronic pain, this workout could be beneficial.

The Best Yoga for my body, April 4, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing Yoga: Aches & Pains [VHS] (VHS Tape)
In just one week I can see a difference. My pain level has dropped dramatically. This isn't extremely physical and is easy to do. I have fibromyalgia and the muscles are always tight. Shoulders are the biggest problem area for me, and this video has the best pose for the shoulders that I've ever tried. If you are in pain, this video can help.

Great!!, March 29, 2005
This review is from: Healing Yoga: Aches & Pains [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I turned 40 and noticed that my knees were really beginning to ache going up and down stairs. My feet and ankles would become stiff also. I play and teach young children with disabilities in preschool. Because of this, I need to do a lot of lifting and bending and kneeling. I needed a workout that helped me move more freely. Boy!!!! was this video great. I have loved using this and can feel the difference after a couple of weeks. The instructors have soothing voices without sounding as if they are about to enter a different dimension of being at any moment. I also liked the way the workout has been divided into 3 parts. I work the tape as a whole, but I could see how time constraints or pain would make the shorter sessions ideal.
