Good book for beginners,
By
This review is from: 15 Minute Gentle Yoga (Paperback)
I turned 64 the other day. I've watched parents, aunts and uncles and now cousins get old and stiff and getting old and stiff frightens me, so I decided to try and do something about it. About 3 months ago I dusted off the workout I did back in Junior College and about 2 weeks ago I bought this book, then yesterday I went to the Y for my first beginner yoga class in about 30 years.
This book/DVD has been perfect for me. I would have been totally overwhelmed by the class if not for the book and as it happened, the book covered almost all the stretches used in the class. The book has 4 separate routines -- morning, strength, evening energizer and before bed. Each workout on the DVD takes about 20 minutes and is almost like having a teacher in the room. And the workouts are well documented in the accompanying book.

great little yoga book,
This review is from: 15 Minute Gentle Yoga (Paperback)
this is a great little book for beginners like myself. i actually came across it in the book store when looking for a different yoga book. it came with a dvd which is helpful. but i do the routines with only the book. sometimes i refer to the dvd if i'm not clear on a particular pose or i'm not sure how to gracefully go from one pose to the next. but because i like to repeat some of my favorite poses a few times or hold a certain stretch longer, i prefer the book without the dvd and listen to my own music. by the way, i never bought the book i was originally looking for.

FINALLY,
By tradess2006 "tradess2004" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 15 Minute Gentle Yoga (Paperback)
I am a long time devotee to Rodney Yee's yoga DVDs, but this book and the included DVD are wonderful to an forever yoga newbie (plus a bargain to boot). The instructions are so clearly stated and spoken, that it is a pleasure to follow them. I don't have the anxiety any more of not doing it right or following the instructor in the studio. I can do all this in the privacy of my own home with a positive uplift every day. Since I am very sensitive to negative influences around me, this is the answer to a long and wonderful yoga journey.
