Movie Reviews of Yoga For Inflexible People
Movie Review: Wonderful for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
Yoga for Inflexible People is great for those who are total novices and/or are unable to get a teacher right away. The practices are broken down into several sessions where you can pick and choose what you want to do. The instructions are clear and easy to follow along.Movie Review: Great title, but don't believe it. A waste of money for me.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is yoga for inflexible people??? What you get is the voice of one woman (I will call her the "instructor") giving instructions while an expressionless woman (I will call her the "model") does the poses.
First of all, there does not appear to be anything special about the instruction or poses that is special for inflexible people. If these poses are for inflexible people, then I guess I need the video for petrified people.
Second, many of the instructions make absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. Have you ever tried to follow assembly instructions that read like they they were translated into English by someone who doesn't really speak English? Here is an example from the instructions for "Tadasana":
"Stand with the inner borders of your feet touching. Extend back from your inner arches through your heels and forward through your toes. Plant your feet firmly on the floor, and draw the muscles and bones of your legs up and back. Take your inner thighs back and broaden the back of the thighs from the inside out. This broadens the back of the thighs in [maybe "and"?] the pelvic area. Into that space bring your tailbone forward."
Huh? To make matters worse, these are actions that are not really visible. I'm sure the model is probably doing them, but it appears she is just standing there doing nothing.
I would only recommend this DVD to someone I really dislike.
Movie Review: Awesome for Beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I live in a rural area, it's nearly impossible to find a yoga studio within driving distance. I bought this video and was very, very impressed with it. Only after a week, can I start feeling the difference in my ability to strech. I have found that it is very in depth in its teaching. But, it gets fairly repetitive once you know most of the asanas (poses). But, a great buy none the less.
I also lent this DVD to a friend who suffers painful menstrual cycles. She did the menstrual cycle yoga and she says that she feels a lot better now.
A Great buy for someone who is beginning!
Movie Review: If you care about the details
Summary: 5 Stars
Yoga for Inflexible People.
Maybe this is not the most beautiful DVD, but if you want to follow good directions with many small recommendations for maximizing your efforts in the poses, buy it today.
This might be a great DVD to help you get ready for serious yoga classes. I have been put off in the past
while attending yoga classes. Not being able to even approximate the poses can make you feel very inadequate--maybe properly so.
The menus in this DVD are great, and you do not have to follow any prescribed routine. Unlike many popularized presentations of yoga, this program uses the official names of the poses. But that knowledge is fun to know and not necessary to benefit from the work.
If are serious about yoga you may not have to go any further than this DVD to get the benefits from yoga practice. And you will be well prepared if you decide to attend classes.
Movie Review: Great starter video
Summary: 4 Stars
I have really enjoyed this DVD! I tried Pilates a few years ago and felt out of my league with a lot of the poses. These are fairly easy while still deivering a challanging work out.
