5.0 out of 5 stars Yoga teacher recommends this DVD, June 26, 2008

I am a Kripalu certified yoga teacher. I also did Lakshmi's chair yoga teacher training at Kripalu. I was looking for something to recommend to one of my yoga students, a paraplegic, when I bought this DVD. This DVD would be perfect for anyone in a wheelchair or with limited mobility. Lakshmi includes an instructional section that breaks down each pose with great detail, and then a shorter version of the class without the instructional detail. Her delightful personality shines through and the class feels wonderful. She includes two classes, one is an energizing series and one is a balancing series. There is also a relaxation track. I have Lakshmi's audio CD, but I like this DVD much better. The DVD is much easier to follow because of the visual queues. It appears to be recorded in her home which is decorated nicely with greens and purples, adding to the sense of calm one feels viewing the DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is for absolutely beginners only, June 28, 2009

This review is from: Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga, Single Chair Yoga Vol. 1 (DVD)

If you are an absolute beginner and need to begin from a chair, then this DVD will have some useful information for you. Having said that, I need to say that I was disappointed in the content, as I am a certified yoga instructor and was looking for some fresh ideas for chair yoga since I teach this, as well as floor yoga, on a regular basis. The problem, as I see it, is not so much with the DVD as with its description. If the description had said this DVD is for beginners only, I would not have purchased it, and therein lies my dissatisfaction. It was also my understanding that this comes with a book. It does not. You get the DVD with some simple instructions, and that's it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Gentle Intro to Yoga, May 19, 2008

By

This review is from: Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga, Single Chair Yoga Vol. 1 (DVD)

I would highly recommend this video for those who need a more gentle form of asana. Lakshmi is thorough in explaining each pose and compassionate in her delivery. This is great for anyone rehabilitating or in a wheel chair as well as for those who do not have as much mobility as the average person.
