Cond. & Stress Release - Yoga: Yoga Zone: Amazon.ca: Video

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Some people take up yoga to build strength and flexibility; others are primarily looking to reduce stress and tension. This 55-minute program, while purporting to address both groups, is actually much more appropriate for the latter. Yoga Zone founder Alan Finger does an excellent job not merely emphasizing the importance of the breath--the single most vital element of any yoga practice--but also explaining yoga breathing techniques, followed by a series of easy stretches (for the neck, shoulders, arms, and such) and a variety of standing, sitting, and lying poses beneficial to yogis of all levels. The pace is gentle, the sequence of poses logical, the instruction clear and constant; beginners will be challenged but not intimidated, while more advanced types might find it a welcome alternative to sweaty, aerobic yoga workouts. --Sam Graham

5.0 out of 5 stars The most relaxing yoga practice, very beneficial!, July 8 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Cond. & Stress Release - Yoga (VHS Tape)

I have been doing yoga on and off for almost 30 years. I started with Lilias yoga and you as a young gymnastic student and found the practices very relaxing. Now, as I get older I have returned to yoga for its healing benefits. When I am stressed with a problem or worry, or just sore and stiff from computing this is the workout I most often turn to. And yes, like others have stated, many times I too have fallen asleep at the end. I have suffered with chronic fatigue and insomia for the last 8 years so this is a wonder and a great thing. If you want a vigorous exercise look elsewhere. If you want to reshape your bad posture and get pain relief, look no further. I have had many professional massages and none have ever given me the overall benefits and a feeling of relief like the yoga practice I enjoy from this tape. I have many other yoga tapes and dvds but I always return to this one. Others are too rushed through the poses. Here you always breathe through until the stress diminishes.

This review is from: Conditioning & Stress Release (DVD)

Easy to follow and truly a stress releaser - just as the title indicates. A mere three sessions and I can feel my posture improving. The gentle start by sitting cross-legged has also eased the pain I had been experiencing in my left leg. Highly recommend this for beginners and intermediate yoga enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually releases stress, Jun 18 2004

By

Happy - See all my reviews

This review is from: Conditioning & Stress Release (DVD)

Yoga Zone Conditioning & Stress Release delivers what it promises. By focusing on major stress points in the body such as the neck, shoulders, wrists, pelvic area, and back, this video is the answer to my hectic days. I actually look forward to doing these exercises at the end of a long day, because it helps me relax and unwind. I do not blame the previous reviewer for actually falling asleep at the end of the session - it's that effective. And I would have to credit Alan Finger for his soothing voice and encouraging manner of instructing yoga students. While he gives out the instructions, his two senior yoga instructors perform the poses, with one doing the modified postures for those who are less flexible. Two thumbs up for this video.
