Movie Reviews of Yoga For Beginners
Movie Review: Truly for Beginners!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am completely new to yoga, I thought it would compliment my pilates training and help with tight muscles from running. I ordered two Beginner yoga DVD's and this one is by far my favorite! Barbara is wonderful and so easy to follow; she mentions modifications for poses that not everyone may be able to do and encourages you through each series. The DVD has seperate 10-30 minute pose series' as well as longer, more in depth routines. The menu is extrememly easy to follow and use. I would CERTAINLY reccomend this to anyone new to yoga that does not want to spend the money at a studio; I think I will use this DVD for a long time and hope to order some of Barbra's more advanced DVD's when that time comes!
PS- the DVD is set on a serene beach with beautiful sands and waters, my kind of place for the concentration yogo involves! :)
Movie Review: Wonderful Way For Beginners To Start a Yoga Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD about a year ago to start learning yoga (I now have a couple of other DVDs from the same teacher)
It was perfect to help me learn yoga. I was a bit out of shape and needed something that was not too fast or difficult to do.
Barbara's instructions are clear and guiding (she has a wonderful speaking voice, very soothing) and she is always mentioning modifications for beginners, that are detailed.
The way the DVD is made (shorter workouts to learn and get a foundation) into the longer segments help alot. As others have pointed out, my back started feeling better in under two months by using the backbends. As Barbara says, be gentle though to start.
And I love the flow and pace of the Sun Salutations.
A great beginner DVD overall.
Movie Review: Great DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
With a 4 year old I did not have time to get to classes, so I picked this DVD up based on Dr. Beth's wonderful review, I think she does a great job.
She was right on with her words. Barbara is a very good instructor that makes the yoga easy to do as a beginner. The workouts range in time and difficulty with the starting ones that are easy and to guide breathing, which consist of some shorter segments.
Later on the items are more difficult. The Energizing and Strength routines, for instance, have Sun Salutations, Standing Poses and Bends (depending on which ones you do) in longer sections, though Barbara does add some relaxation moves at the very end when you are done working through the other parts of the workout.
All in all a great DVD that is perfect for Beginners.
Movie Review: Great Beginners Choice
Summary: 5 Stars
The DVD starts off with a menu which allows you to select various sections and poses to work on.
The first thing you can look at is an interview with the teacher, which I recommend to get a sense of the background of yoga and what to expect.
The first main yoga section to use is one where you can learn various poses in routines that are round 20 minutes which focus on breathing, standing, strength and hips and then has another section with more moves with workouts that are longer and has some more material.
The second yoga section adds more material and provides longer workouts to add to your yoga with routines range from 30 minutes to an hour, so there is a lot to work with.
A great set of yoga and instructions that will help beginners learn yoga.
Movie Review: Have Never Done Yoga Before...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a way to gently ease myself back into exercise, and this DVD has been absolutely wonderful. This DVD is focused on the TRUE beginner, with explanations of alternative poses you can do if you're not flexible and gentle reminders of body position, breathing, etc.
I spend my whole day sitting, like most people: 1 hr in the morning, commuting, 8 hrs at a desk, and another hr in the evening commuting -- Then, I cook dinner and I'm so exhausted that I SIT and watch TV. (I have found that this dvd is easy to do after work, as it is relaxing and not strenious)
I've only been doing this DVD for a week, and I've noticed changes in how I feel and hold myself already. I have never attempted yoga before, and I highly recommend Yoga for Beginners for people in similar situations.
