Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Larry Payne, a Ph.D. and Los Angeles-based yoga teacher, has put together a yoga program that lives up to its title. Power yoga this ain't; rather than touting the virtues of yoga as aerobic, strength-building exercise, User Friendly Yoga presents it primarily as a tool for stress and tension reduction, incorporating simple forward bends, backbends, standing poses, twists, and various stretching and balancing poses in a gentle, easy-to-follow sequence designed for those who are new to the discipline (with slightly more difficult variations demonstrated for more advanced users). Payne is a soothing, nurturing presence, constantly emphasizing the importance of the breath and the personal, noncompetitive aspects of yoga ("challenge yourself, don't strain yourself" is one of his mantras). He even suggests watching the 30-minute program all the way through once before trying the poses. Now, if he would only turn down the sappy New Age Muzak that seems to be de rigueur for so many yoga videos these days. --Sam Graham

Product Description

A safe, doctor recommended, introduction to Yoga that is popular with men and women. Originally on VHS as "User Friendly Yoga." Videotaped on location in Malibu, California. Divided into 15 minute and 28 minute programs. Special Bonus: Disc includes MP3 audio versions of the routines, so you can download the audio to play on your iPod or Computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxing Yoga, June 18, 2000
This review is from: Larry Payne's Prime of Life Yoga: The Classic Beginner's Program for Men & Women (DVD)
I have many Yoga videos by different instructors but since purchasing this video I have no desire to use the others. I find Larry Payne undoubtedly the best teacher. His instructions are told simply in a relaxing voice and the dynamic and static way of doing the poses is excellent. I also love the fact that there is no time wasted at the beginning of the video waiting for adverts to come to an end - Larry Payne goes straight to work. I have purchased his other Yoga video 'Yoga for a User Friendly Back'which is also excellent. Please Larry hurry up and get another Yoga video recorded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great post-aerobic exercise workout., October 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Larry Payne's Prime of Life Yoga: The Classic Beginner's Program for Men & Women (DVD)
I find the guided stretching and controlled breathing promoted by the User Friendly Yoga video to be my primary cooling down exercise after aerobics or whenever I am seeking inner peace. This tape provides the yoga basics and I would recommend its use for individuals of any age. I didn't have to become a contortionist to satisfy my stretching needs.
