4.0 out of 5 stars Soothing & relaxing slow paced yoga w/ab & PC strengthening, November 16, 2010

This review is from: Yoga for Women's Health (DVD)

This is Collete Crawford instructing you in voice over as well as doing the modified versions separately from three other women who are different ages, races & weights in a simple, empty, hardwood w/yellow painted room.
She speaks very slowly & relaxed w/a kind voice, not patronizing, but something that can put one to sleep if tired. Her choice of wording is more spiritual, not medical or aerobic style. She tells you when to inhale & exhale during yoga poses & even other times to keep in tune with your breath.
It starts with you seated & breathing, then reclining doing PC squeezes to strengthen the area. Then adds pelvic tilts, then ab crunches, oblique crunches & bridge pose.
Side lying w/top & bottom leg raised for strengthening & then straight leg stretch.
On hands/knees to cat/cow stretch, then downward dog.
Standing poses only has triangle to warrior 2 to triangle & standing wide legged stretch.
Reclined has straight leg stretching upward, outward & across.
Last is a nicely guided meditation.

This is best for people who are very out of shape, rarely, or never workout, have physical limitations or very low stamina. Also for those who are very tired that day & need something light & slow paced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent yoga DVD, May 8, 2007

This review is from: Yoga for Women's Health (DVD)

This is an excellent DVD for women of all ages. It is easy to follow but definitely makes a good workout. It seems like I am not working that hard when I am doing it but then afterwards I feel my muscles and know they have had a good workout. I team up either this DVD or a Pilates DVD with cardio work and have found that to be the best workout for me.
