4 Stars Nice! My bad back needed this
Got this off of Amazon Unbox and it’s great.
This was a great way to get back into a regular yoga practice with my terrible back. I did Bikram for years but haven’t done regular practice in forever and my bad bad really limits me right now. Until I’m more flexible and my core strength is back up, this video is a lifesaver for me — I can actually concentrate on the stretch and strength because I’m not in agony trying to overextend my back.
It is brief but I just pause when I want to extend something and I played it twice last night and it was just perfect.
5 Stars A Healing Back Yoga
The VHS format of this video was given to me a while back by a friend who is an Oriental medicines doctor. I was extremely happy to get my hands on the DVD. For over 15 years I’ve trained in the martial arts and any time my back muscles start getting tight or a little sore from too much training, insufficient stretching or over exertion, I pull out this yoga video. Practicing the yoga stretches once a day for two to three days makes my back feel wonderful. Exaggerated yoga stretches held for an extended time aggravated my back soreness, these gentle stretches are just enough to facilitate healing. Currently I follow the regime four or more times a week. I highly recommend it as a gentle routine preventative or treatment for sore muscles.
3 Stars Yoga Video
It’s a good beginner DVD but a little confusing in one exercise when you see the instructor mix up his right and left with the naration.
5 Stars Who needs a chiropractor, when you have this video?
I starting running a few years ago, which resulted in lower-back muscle tightness. After several visits to the chiropractor, I realized I was just doing guided stretching–so I bought this video. Two days of this video always fixes my back when it starts to ache. My regular yoga is too strenous when my back is tight. This video uses a chair to modify many of the regular yoga poses. I highly recommend it. It’s only 20 minutes, so it’s easy to fit in.
4 Stars Great for yoga-phobics with bad backs
I bought this for my partner who hates yoga and has a bad back and who has practiced to this DVD on a regular basis and says it really helps the back pain. HOWEVER, if you are at all flexible, this is not the DVD for you. This is strictly for beginning yogis who need some great stretches for back strengthening/flexibility.
