Convenient and informative, 2008-05-27
This is a great video - well done and is very useful for me. There are days when I know I should do some yoga but I don't want to go down and take a long class. I can scroll to a section that looks interesting and follow at my own pace. I think this is a great way for someone to familiarize themselves with the basics of yoga used for therapeutic purposes as well as an easy way to get more yoga done at home. Thumbs up!

Nice DVD ... I included details of the Acne sequence ..., 2008-05-11
This is a really nice DVD. There is so much on it. The way they get 60 sequences on one DVD is to create each asana (there seem to be about 50)and then string them together like beads on a string. Some sequences have 15 asanas and other have 30. Overall it seems to be Iyengar yoga, both restorative style and gentle style. But there are also some distinctively Viniyoga asanas in the fitness and energizer sequences. Because Acne is an affliction of youth the Acne sequence is longer and more gentle yoga than restorative. I like this sequence a lot. Here are the poses:
1: Tadasana
2: Tadasana looking skywards
3: Tadasana with eagle arms
4: Uttanasa
5: Down Dog
6: Intense Stretch (both legs)
7: Triangle
8: Vasistasana
9: half moon (modified)
10: dandasana
11: Janu sirsasana
12: Donwward Hero
13: Seated forward fold
14: twisting child
15: seated twist A
16: seated twist C
17: supported bound wide angle
18: supported virasana
19: supported wide angle
20: bound angle
21: head stand (or modified down dog)
22: foldward fold
23: bridge pose
24: plow pose
25: supported bridge
26: legs up wall
27: savasana
This sequence make sense when you compare it to what people say about acne and yoga, flushing the organs, the face, opening the energy ...
The music on this DVD is really nice.
The Fitness and Energier sequences are fun.

Really nice, 2008-04-11
Wow, at first I was expecting sweaty yoga so that I could lose weight. I think half of the yoga on the DVD is called restorative yoga (on the floor with pillows yoga). When first doing the weight loss sequence I thought this was just relaxing type yoga exercises and not sure if it would work. But afterwards it felt so good to do the weight loss sequence I really wanted to do more. Feels so good and so easy to do! I am not sure how it works to lose weight because I just started but it is not sweating out the calories. It seems to make you feel good so that you don't want to eat so much "comfort food". Maybe the old indian yogis knew something that we have forgotten.
There are so many sequences that I cannot comment on most but I bet that they will make you feel really good too. There is a lot of different and interesting yoga poses here that I have not seen or tried before and they look really fun. The more easy feel good yoga there is the better.
It feels so much better for me to do this yoga than a regular yoga class because of my injured hip that if you have any issue or just wanna relieve stress easily you should get this video. And I really like the music and Laura's voice.
