Movie Reviews of Yoga: Just My Size With Megan Garcia
Movie Review: Just Right for Plus Size Newbies to Yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received this DVD today. I had completely reviewd the DVD before practicing it. My immeadiate reponse is "This is perfect for me". I am 5'2 and weigh 186. I am TOTALLY a newbie to yoga. I thought I would share my first impressions with you. This is not for those already familiar with yoga. It would probably bore you and leave you feeling unchallenged. First, the music is complementary without being a distraction. Megan's voice was clear and audible. Second, Movements were purposeful and provided complete demonstration of the move while explaining its purpose and there are easy transitions for poses. Third, DVD provides special tips for those who may find it difficult to do demonstrated poses.Tips before using: Watch before trying DVD. I reccomend you review the introduction first and then the interview. Watch the tips which show alternate positions for those who have challenges due to body structure or mobility issues.( Remember,we all have different levels of fitness and mobility. Even though some of us may feel it is a great start for newbies and plus size, others may still have difficulty.) Finally, get comfortable and workout. AVOID or MUTE JUST MY SIZE commercial before watching. It is loud and unsettling after reviewing the tranquill yoga DVD.Improvements Needed: I would reccomend that Megan do a side by side video of regular poses with alternate poses. It would keep people from going b ack to reveiw exactly what to do in alternate positions.
Summary of Yoga: Just My Size With Megan Garcia
Yoga for plus-sized women? Why not, especially when it's presented clearly, simply, and utterly without condescension, which is the case with Just My Size Yoga. Instructor Megan Garcia, a large woman herself, knows that self-consciousness and limitations due to shape and size keep many would-be yoga practitioners from attending actual classes; hence this 45-minute program designed to introduce new students to yoga's many benefits. Garcia promises that a regular yoga practice will promote not only physical well-being (including energy and flexibility) but also confidence, calm, and what she calls "an inner sense of self"--ambitious goals, to be sure, but also attainable ones. The practice consists of three parts. The warm-up focuses on the breath, along with arm lifts, spinal twists, and such; the "workout" section includes some reasonably demanding poses like Warrior 1 and 2 and downward-facing dog (after demonstrating each pose separately, Garcia repeats them as one continuous, flowing sequence), and "deep relaxation" consists of savasana, the so-called "corpse pose." Other elements of Just My Size Yoga include a "special tips" section (with suggestions about using a wall, chairs, or other props to modify the poses) and an interview with Garcia. All in all, this is a gentle, easy, yet effective introduction to yoga. --Sam GrahamCertified instructor and plus-size model Megan Garcia presents a simple and rewarding introduction to yoga designed for every size and shape. Run time 28 minutes. DVD includes an additional 17 minutes of run time.
