3.0 out of 5 stars So-So Video, September 13, 2000

This review is from: Living Yoga's Gentle Yoga for Beginners [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this video because I wanted to actually get to a point where I could at least touch my toes again. I made the mistake of trying to do the poses the first time I watched it. The pace seems way too fast for someone's first introduction to yoga. I think it would have been easier if there had been a little notice on it saying to watch it through one or a few times before joining in and letting you know that you'll need supplies to do all the poses. Although all the poses are supposed to be modified, I couldn't do some of them at all. Just to let you know, I'm 21 years old and an office worker so I'm really concerned about other people's ability to do this video when I had trouble. After doing the exercises about 8 times since I bought Gentle Yoga for Beginners, I can say that it's a video that will stay in my collection, but I will definitely be on the look out for something better suited to a beginner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too fast, June 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Living Yoga's Gentle Yoga for Beginners [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I find the pace much too fast to be either beneficial or relaxing. I do, however, like Suzanne Deason as an instructor, and, I highly recommend her "Yoga For Weight Conditioning" video for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars gentle yoga for beginners, June 29, 2001

I love this video. I'm recovering from an illness and my strength and flexibility have been limited. Other yoga videos have been too demanding. The pace of the video does seem upbeat at first, but I've found that it is easy to get into the flow, and becomes quite invigorating, once you've become accustomed to it. It's the perfect way to get the day going. I have seen remarkable results in just a couple of weeks. My flexibility is improving, I'm feeling stronger and I'm able to carry the benefits of the session with me into the rest of my day through a better sense of physical alignment and balance and emotional calmness and awarenss. I highly recommend this tape for those who want to get started with yoga. Just the right blend of challenge and relaxation.
