Calming Exercises
I've never done yoga before but when I saw Peggy Cappy on PBS I wanted to give it a try. She has a very soothing, calming voice and gives easy-to-follow instructions in a slow manner. I especially love the restorative poses which are very calming after a long day at work.

Peggy may be good but on these videos, she talks way too much and then is like her students are doing it for the first time so she stops to correct them.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT !!!!, March 15, 2009
Yoga for the Rest of Us: Essentials for Every BodyI first saw it on PBS and wanted to try it. I have a lower back injury and (at 50+ years) this DVD is really helping me become more flexiable and I am able to start a walking program again. My Physical Therapist told me to keep using the techniques!! Peggy Cappy makes it so enjoyable and "YES..ANY BODY CAN DO THIS!!" I have been using it every morning since I got it and LOVE IT!! I tried a Pilates DVD for Beginners, and only made myself limp more. This set contains 3 DVD's: Yoga for the Rest of Us, More Yoga for the Rest of Us and Yoga for Back Care. IT IS WELL WORTH THE PRICE AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR ANY AGE!!

Always wonderful, January 29, 2008
Peggy Cappy is always wonderful. The collection is great to have (an update from my VHS) and her new back care is very helpful. Just the sound of her voice and the ease of the movements is great for anyone with back "issues."

Yoga is for the rest of us, April 18, 2009
I am in my 20's and overweight due to a health condition. I always wanted to try yoga, but was always intimidated because of my size and inflexibility. Not anymore. The modified poses make it easy for people of any age, fitness level or flexibility to do yoga (I got the set from my 77 year old grandma who used them). I come away from each routine feeling stretched, relaxed and renewed. In just a few short weeks I have already increased my flexibility. Plus, the relaxation at the end of each session is an added bonus. I highly recommend this series to anyone who has ever wanted to try yoga. It is easy to follow and really is for everyone. To heighten the experience I recommend doing it by yourself and playing relaxing music, makes it a much more enjoyable.

Very Relaxing, October 9, 2009
There are three different DVD's in this set. I have only done the one for backs so far. It is amazingly relaxing. I have tried yoga videos before and have found them to be too difficult for me. I am in my sixties, not very flexible, with knee and back pain. I was able to do all of the exercises in the DVD for backs except one. I was finally able to do it with a yoga strap. I felt immediately better after the exercises and continued to feel better the next day. Some of the exercises are the very poses I had to do in my physical therapy sessions for my arthritic knees.
I think Type A personalities would find Peggy agonizingly slow and soft-spoken. I can see my Type A daughter falling asleep right away. But it is the very slowness and low-key aspects of her approach that relax me. I found that I did not even need to watch the video. Her verbal instructions were very thorough and understandable. She even tells you when to breathe in and out. I expect that the deep breathing alone helped me relax and, thus, decreased my pain.
I appreciated it that she did not get into the spiritual parts of yoga. I am only interested in how it can help me physically. I did the whole video one exercise after the other. But many people may not have time for that because it takes over an hour. The good thing about the DVD is that it is divided into seven different sections so that one can pick and choose the sections to do depending on need and time.
I would recommend this to any one who is able to tolerate a very slow and deliberate pace. If you know you are the personality type who can not tolerate slowness, then this is probably not the DVD set for you.

Yoga Videos, November 16, 2009
Excellent videos for beginning and older yoga students ~ Peggy has a very calming voice and is very easy to follow. If you are just learning about yoga, it is a great set to have!

Peggy may be good but on these videos, she talks way too much and then is like her students are doing it for the first time so she stops to correct them. Also I do not used them anymore because my lower back begun to hurt again, unfortunately maybe my back is too sensitive so I am stuck with the three dvd's and I don't even used them. I guess there is no such of thing as gentle yoga for the ones who suffer of back problems.
