3.0 out of 5 stars
A good choice, March 15, 2010
This review is from: Stronger Seniors Chair Yoga Program - Experience the amazing practice of Yoga without getting on the floor. Improve flexibility, mobility, strength, proper breathing, and overall sense of well-being. Excellent for relaxation and better sleep. (DVD)
I was excited to try this video with our residents because it had such great reviews, it was done in a chair, and many residents had requested some form of yoga. I work in a building that has assisted living and independent living residents and about 10 residents participated in the first session, with their average age being 77-80; I would guess it was 50% assisted living residents and 50% independent residents. A few residents left early, a few stopped before it was finished but continued to watch it, and a few residents really enjoyed it. A handful of residents later commented that they didn't like this video because they felt their bodies "didn't twist like that anymore." They also commented that they were sore following the workout. A few residents were also very excited about it and really enjoyed the video.
From my perspective, I thought the video was nearly perfect. The instructors explain the exercise clearly and move slowly. I wouldn't have thought the twisting was too extensive for them, had they not shared their feelings with me. I thought it seemed very easy to follow. Had I watched/done this video on my own, I would give it 5 stars, however, I only rated it 3 stars due to the resident comments listed above.

I am 70 yrs old, Never have done Yoga, Began this 4 weeks ago. I feel better after doing it, and am seeing improvement in the level of pain when bending over, from Arthritis. I can tell the difference in how I feel if I don't do it, am using the program almost every day now. Thank you, everyone connected with this program!!!!! My friend is a yoga teacher, bought this first, I used hers until mine came.
