Movie Reviews of Back Care Yoga
Movie Review: Good DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD has really helped me with my back problems. The excercises shown are gentle and useful. I have chronic back pain, and in order to avoid, and not take pain killers, I do yoga. I have used this DVD, and as soon as I finish one of the three routines, my pain is gone. The only thing that I don't like about Rodney's approach on this DVD is that he shows some very weird excercises, and sometimes you feel like you aren't doing anything. The first routine feels like you didn't do a thing. The second routine is great. The third one has a lot of akward positions, for which you need a chair and a king size pillow. I have never been to a yoga class where you need such items, so I find it weird, and not too effective. However, overall, it is a good DVD (but he has a better DVD, try the Yoga for Athletes, also from Rodney. It is excellent.)Movie Review: Encouraging
Summary: 4 Stars
I like Rodney Yee so when I developed back pain I ordered this DVD. For my specific problem there are a few too many poses that aggravate my spine, but if you just want to strenghthen and build up your back, I think it is ideal. There is also a section of Rodney and an MD talking about caring for one's back on a daily basis-like how to sit in a chair properly. Good solid advice. There is a section of "restorative" poses that relax the tired back. You will need a bolster pillow and a blanket you can fold under you. Even though I am not ready to do all the postures, it still has encouraging advice and some good yoga practice.Movie Review: a viewer in RI
Summary: 4 Stars
This workout could indeed be more challenging, but it does what it promises. I got into yoga three years ago to relieve pain from a slipped disk. The workout stretches out my back and relieves tightness/pain, and in a short period of time. With a little commentary on breathing technique, I think that it would be excellent for people who are new to yoga. Those of us who are familiar with yoga can always adapt the exercises that we find too easy, taking it to the next level ourselves.
What I find most annoying is the series of "commercials" for Gaiam products--there are far too many.
Movie Review: Yee Yoga DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good beginning yoga tape. As I have severe damage to my spinal column, I was hoping for something with more modified poses. The routine is broken up in 3 sections: stretching, strengthening, and restoration. Overall, they are all good though, I think, a little short. I would not recommend this to anyone else with severe, cronic back problems-I cannot do many of the poses and someone who is not aware of their limits could aggravate their condition.Movie Review: Very good for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to help improve my lower back. This is a very good program for beginners with no experience in Yoga. Rodney Yee's yoga attire is minimilist and that helped me to see how to position my body correctly. Make sure you have a similar type of chair as used in the video. I used my dining table chair and the chair's back was too high to do the back and leg stretches well.
