Not a Kripalu Yoga Expereince
In my experience and opinion, the tone, languaging and pacing of the CD is not aligned with Kripalu methodology or culture. To me, I got the unfortunate image of Ms. Voelker wearing a black leather leotard and practically barking orders as if speaking to juvenile delinquents, not aging baby boomer folks or those with chronic health conditions in need of a therapeutic...

Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga: Sitting Mountain Series, July 8, 2000
This presentation of do-able yoga is presented as two items: a cassette and a tutorial book the size of the accompanying cassette. It's handy size makes it portable and useful anywhere. The two blend beautifully with the book itself wonderfully helpful. The drawings are excellent.The audio instructions very, very clear. The quality is outstanding and a must for ANYONE interested in the many benefits of yoga without having to be on the floor. It is also for those who sit at a desk for long periods of time, for those perhaps interested in ways to relieve stress by stretching and breathing during a busy day, for those physically unable to practice a more traditional method. Lakshmi has created a package that is worthy of heightened attention by anyone newly intrigued by yoga or by folks, like myself, who have practiced yoga for a number of years. Thank you for this gift, Lakshmi!

chair yoga, June 15, 2001
I would love to see Lakshmis'chair yoga placed into the curriculum of all nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals.Lakshmis'nurturing voice,encouraging words, and strengthening postures are a gift towards healing. It would have been a wonderful healing tool for my father who had become wheelchair bound in his last years.

Chair Yoga is Great!, June 19, 2001
By A Customer
Chair Yoga is a wonderful alternative to regular floor exercise yoga when you have been sitting at your desk too long or on a confining airline flight. It gets you moving, stretches you and gets the circulation going again. It's also great when you just don't think you have the energy for a full blown yoga session or you've temporarily injured yourself in some way that traditional yoga might be too much of a strain. I can see where it would be fabulous for wheelchair-bound, disabled or frailer seniors. Try it - you'll like it - no love it!

The Sitting Mountain Series, January 11, 2007
This review is from: Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga: The Sitting Mountain Series (Audio CD)
I found this CD easy to use and very practical containing a booklet with illustrations and clear instructions on moving in and out of the poses. Lakshmi includes the physiological benefits of each of the postures included in her series.

Not a Kripalu Yoga Expereince, June 18, 2009
This review is from: Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga: The Sitting Mountain Series (Audio CD)
In my experience and opinion, the tone, languaging and pacing of the CD is not aligned with Kripalu methodology or culture. To me, I got the unfortunate image of Ms. Voelker wearing a black leather leotard and practically barking orders as if speaking to juvenile delinquents, not aging baby boomer folks or those with chronic health conditions in need of a therapeutic relationship with their mind, body, heart and soul. (She says things about peace and love, but I hear rigidity and austerity.) There is no mention of 'breathe, relax, feel, observe and allow'. I feel that her pacing of the instructions are contraindicative to relaxation, digestion or assimilation of the proposed exercises and their benefits.
As a Kripalu Yoga Teacher, I would not share this CD with any of my students or wish to be considered in alliance with Ms. Voelker's particular style of teaching.

Sitting Mountain Yoga, January 29, 2007
This review is from: Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga: The Sitting Mountain Series (Audio CD)
This tape is quite lovely to listen to and really helps to put you into a relaxed state for yoga. However I didn't realize it was audio not video! Although a nice, small book with sketches of the poses accompanies the tape, I found that for me this was not really useful; I am disabled and find a video tape more helpful. I do use it in conjunction with other tapes which are video.
