Movie Reviews of More Yoga for the Rest of Us, with Peggy Cappy
Movie Review: Great Followup to Yoga for the Rest of Us
Summary: 5 Stars
Are you looking for gentle yoga DVD? Are you interested in beginning a yoga practice but hesitant about heading off to your local yoga studio? Are you under the misconception that yoga is only for the young, fit, and flexible?
More Yoga for the Rest of Us by Peggy Cappy is a DVD that can help. If you think you are too old, too out of shape, or not flexible enough to try yoga, the students in this DVD prove otherwise.
Cappy, a New Hampshire based yoga teacher with over 20 years experience offers gentle senior yoga classes where many of the participants are 70+. The DVD includes a "Meet Peggy Cappy" section that features shots of her classes and several interviews with her enthusiastic students who explain why they do yoga and all the benefits it provides.
Peggy explains that yoga can help everybody and anybody who does it feel better physically and mentally. It's an opinion I share so I am always on the lookout for DVDs that can deliver a yoga program that is accessible to the average person regardless of age or current fitness level.
More Yoga for the Rest of Us is a follow up to Cappy's original DVD, Yoga for the Rest of Us, and is divided into two 20 - 25 minute sections that can be performed separately or together - Floor Exercises and Standing Poses.
In More Yoga for the Rest of Us, Peggy Cappy leads 4 of her students of varying ages and abilities through the program in a calm, sincere, and nurturing way. The pacing is slow and controlled. Variations and modifications are demonstrated for most of the poses so that students of any level can participate safely.
The Floor Exercises section begins with breathing exercises to calm the body and steady the mind. It provides a good transition out of the busyness of your day, and into your yoga practice. Additional floor exercises include pelvic tilts, knee hugs, leg stretches and strengtheners, reclining pigeon pose to stretch the hips, reclining spinal twist for the back, reclining cobblers pose to stretch the inner thighs and several gentle bridge variations.
The Standing Poses section, is dedicated to standing poses that are designed to build leg strength and improve balance. The poses are all demonstrated with several modifications and variations to accommodate different levels of ability. Those who are less steady use a chair for support.
The DVD concludes with a few gentle compensation poses for your back and a nice long guided relaxation - the restorative reward for your earlier yoga practice.
I like that Cappy explains the benefits of the various poses and provides detailed alignment instructions to keep her students safe. I also like that these are real yoga students of varying ages and abilities, not models or yoga experts.
If you are looking for a gentle yoga DVD that can help you increase your flexibility, strength and balance, More Yoga for the Rest of Us is worth a closer look.
Highly Recommended
