Movie Reviews of Yoga For Beginners
Movie Review: I am "the" yoga beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
I never tried yoga before I bought this DVD. It really is great in stretching my muscles and giving me flexibility I never knew I had. I heard my bones popping while doing it the first time and found instant relief from minor back pain and neck pain.
Movie Review: VERY Detailed... Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great beginner dvd. It gives you a lot of different options. For instance, if you're in a certain mood, you can do a routine that's good for that mood or if you would like to only do a routine for a certain length of time, there's an option for that too. It's not like the Yoga for dummies, where there aren't many options or different routines. I like it!!Movie Review: Great for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether you're preparing for a class or learning yoga on your own, a DVD really helps to ground you in the basics. I found Yoga for Beginners a great, relaxing way to get a handle on core positions.
You start out by watching the basic area. This area has short segments that help you understand the starting moves. The aim here is to watch each short segment - and practice the moves - until they start to make sense to you.
They have 10 minute backbends, 20 minute standing poses, 20 minute strength / balance, 20 minute sun salutations, 30 minute seated hip openers. You'll find some of these might be challenging for your current strength and bend ability - but this is actually great! It means you have something to look forward to as you improve and grow. If everything was super easy at the beginning, the DVD wouldn't be much help! So you practice these moves for a while, figuring out which you can do and which you need to work on.
Then you go on to the actual full workout sessions. There is 70 minute basics, 40 minute energizing, 70 minute strength, 30 minute rejuvinate, and 55 minute quieting. Each segment has its own focus, so you can easily pick and choose which one you're going to work on. You might find some easy and relaxing. Others might be a bit challenging at the beginning.
So for example the quieting session was really relaxing, lovely, stretchy. On the other hand, the strength session involves some moves that I had to just watch. My arm strength wasn't up there yet. However, I could do much of it and it definitely was building up strength - and I look forward to when I can do it all start to finish.
The background is simply gorgeous, with the gentle ocean, the sands and the blue skies. It really helps me to feel peaceful and relaxed. The woman's voice is peaceful, calm, and provides a lot of great pointers for adjusting poses based on your current skill level.
Highly recommended for beginners - and the DVD will "grow with you" to allow you to keep enjoying it even as you improve.
Movie Review: A little more difficult than expected
Summary: 4 Stars
I am trying yoga for the first time, and will find another video until I learn more of the yoga basics. Speaking as a true beginner, this video seems to be better suited for someone who is on the higher end of beginner or low end of intermediate levels. There is no basic explanation of the poses, so I was looking at the television to figure out what she was doing as opposed to concentrating on my breathing and pose.
I do enjoy the scenery and sounds of the ocean waves. Her voice is very soothing, and it's obvious she lives yoga. I will come back to this video when gain more strength and knowledge.
Movie Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely wonderful. It is a great place to start with many different routines. I like the fact that there isn't any music, just the waves in the background. It is relaxing to listen to the waves, but I like to put on my own music. I reccomend doing "Basic Yoga For Dummies" before attempting this DVD though. The previous DVD will show you how to do the poses correctly, and then you can do the routines in this DVD without straining yourself. This DVD does not give you step by step instructions on how to do the poses.
