This review is from: More Yoga for the Rest of Us, with Peggy Cappy (DVD)

I loved this DVD More Yoga for the Rest of Us by Peggy Cappy. Her teaching style is so warm and generous and positive and
inclusive. She attracts those of us who need yoga the most, not just young
athletes that you find in most classes. She welcomes us older and stiffer
ones...it is a beautiful philosophy and I want to thank Peggy Cappy for
sharing her love of yoga and what it can do for everybody! I have both
DVD's (Yoga for the Rest of Us and More Yoga for the Rest of Us) and I do one of them every day...they have changed my life...I have
them memorized and never tire of them. I'm 48 years old and have done yoga
classes on and off for years...always knowing that there was something good
there for me, but always feeling I couldn't keep up or be flexible
enough...I would drop out feeling a failure each time.
Peggy Cappy and her work have been a blessing in my life and I want to thank
her from the bottom of my heart! Namaste, Diana Adoberavoski

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good a follow-on, April 11, 2006

This review is from: More Yoga for the Rest of Us, with Peggy Cappy (DVD)

Being a huge fan of "Yoga for the Rest of Us," I was looking forward to getting the second DVD, but this second DVD largely left me cold. The stretching exercises are not as effective, in my view, and do not appear to work the entire body but focus primarily on the legs and lower back and almost not at all on the neck, shoulders, and arms/wrists. The standing poses are in some instances more challenging, but their explanation and demonstration were not as clear, practiced, or well-thought-out as in the first DVD - some of the students appeared to be doing the poses for the first time without a clear idea of what they were supposed to be doing, and in one instance a standing pose was performed while the camera zoomed in on one student's face (not the most helpful way to convey how to do the pose correctly, especially when the verbal explanation is unclear). The relaxation portion, while good, was not as effective for me as in the first DVD. It may be a matter of personal taste or a slightly different target audience for the second DVD versus the first, but I likely will not rely heavily on this DVD for yoga exercises and will return to the first one, which I believe is a much better production.

This review is from: More Yoga for the Rest of Us, with Peggy Cappy (DVD)

Once more, Peggy Cappy has endeavored to bring the practice and benefits of yoga to those of us who live with some degree of physical limitation that puts the postures of classical yoga out of reach (literally.) As a companion to "Yoga For the Rest of Us", this dvd offers examples and instructions that expand the practitioners' repetoire of postures, never failing to address the therapeutic mind/body/spirit benefits. Peggy Cappy has a marvellously gentle, yet powerful, way of engaging the viewer/practitioner and then clearly demonstrating each pose. She never fails to include adequate time for resting and meditation poses, a perfect balance to the more active poses. If you have purchased "Yoga For the Rest of Us," this is the perfect companion piece to round out your daily practice!
