Movie Review: Yoga For Inflexible people
Summary: 5 Stars
It is just what I expected it to be and I find it very usefulMovie Review: Don't Get Bent Out Of Shape
Summary: 5 Stars
I never had much success with yoga either from books or TV shows; I could not keep up or make the stretches as demonstrated. This DVD is not exciting or fancy but I will say that using this I have made gains and gotten rewards. I realized I am woefully inflexible, but the poses allow for the use of aids (blocks, folded blankets, straps) to go only as far as you can without straining yourself but so that one can still make progress. There is a menu of sessions varying in length and area of concentration (15 minute outer hip vs. 30 minute lower back etc.).
It is not the flashy "5 girls on the beach doing yoga" type DVD. My wife and I sometimes do this together, she being more experienced at yoga finds the routines satisfying and I at my beginner's level can do the same poses with allowance for my inflexibility.
I am glad I purchased this, it allows me to work at my level without hurting myself and improve from there.
Movie Review: snooze
Summary: 4 Stars
I gave it 4 stars because the yoga has value. I think this dvd is too dark and a bit boring. I will continue to use it though.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.
