This workout has value for bonebuilding, flexibility and strength. However, for those who already have osteoporosis/osteopenia forward bends of which there are many in this workout, are not recommended. Therefore I would recommend this workout for people who want to build bone strength and flexibility but I would make it clear that it is NOT for those who have osteopenia/osteoporosis.

The combination of Yoga and weight training demonstrated on this video is great for the prevention of osteoporosis! Strengthening and increasing flexibility!

This video is great. I have been doing yoga for years and this is a good way for me to have a practice that I can either lengthen or strengthen for myself. I also sent a copy of it to my Mom who has never done yoga but expressed an interest in it. The unique way that they demonstrate three different levels of the practice simultaneously makes this great for all levels of experience.

i really enjoy this dvd. it is set up in three 20 minute sessions or do the entire workout in a one hour session. this was recommended to me by my yoga instructor and i highly recommend it to others. it teaches you to be flexible, not a pretzel!!! this is for the normal everyday person using light weights, and a mat. easy and simple steps to strengthen yourself; physically and mentally.

This yoga dvd gives you basic adaptive yoga asunas using weights to develop stronger bones through extra strength training. Very easy to follow, perfect pacing, with different adaptations for special needs. I highly recommend this for anyone that enjoys yoga and would also like to build stronger bones.

This video is great. Twenty minutes is very do-able, but nice to have the option to combine all three.

I just celebrated my 56th birthday and this was my gift
to me. It's the best gift I could have gotten---the gift of healthy bones and stress relief all wrapped up in one.
Finally a workout for a person in their 50's! I found this workout to be just right for my needs. I have been disappointed in the past by videos that were more for people in their 80's and 90's even though the description said 50+. As a teacher I need something like this to work into my busy schedule and still give me the benefits of a stress-relieving, bone-building program.

This is a good workout. Thorough and considerate of its intended audience which appears to be older adults. There are three practices on the DVD, each starts from a sitting position. If you are looking for a true yoga approach with meditative pacing, then this is for you. It integrates the weights with slow, gentle movements. i could see it being useful for people with arthritis, an injury or simply new to exercise, or someone who feels uncomfortable in a crowded class, or someone homebound.

If on the other hand, you are of the generation that likes a bit more excitement, then you should look elsewhere.
