4.0 out of 5 stars A good start, Jan 8 2004

This review is from: Stretching for Flexibility - Y (DVD)

I have never practiced yoga before. This is my first yoga video I have ever purchased, so I don't come from an extensive and knowledgeable background. However, I have been reading various yoga books and found this DVD well worth the price (I bought it used for only $9).
The video at first seems cheesy, but get you get over that pretty quickly if you have an open mind. The instruction is clear and the yoga concepts behind the movements are very well explained.
Overall, the DVD is very short, but I find it a great way to squeeze in a stretching routine in a busy day.
I would recommend this DVD to those who are looking for basic hip, hamstring, rib, shoulder, and lower back flexibility (this is what the DVD focuses on). If you are looking for a more complete full body stretch routine this is not the video for you (unless of course you want to supplement this with other DVD's).

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty decent DVD to increase your flexibility, May 7 2003

This review is from: Stretching for Flexibility - Y (DVD)

I am new to the world of Yoga and I have slight scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine). While I have no trouble with things like the cobra and cat stretch, I do have trouble sitting up straight - I either hunch forward or arch back when I sit. After trying the video, I can feel an increase in my general flexibility and find myself, throughout the day, reminding myself to sit up straight so my body can better utilize my oxygen and I just plain look better. I look thinner, too, when I don't slouch (slouching allows your stomach to "bunch" or "pooch."). I don't consider this to be a workout, though. I recommend it for either waking up or end-of-the day stretch, right before you curl up with a good book and cup of hot tea. The technicalities of the video - scenery, instructors, shooting angles, etc. - I found to be nondescript and average - which is probably good for a workout DVD. I pay attention to what I'm doing, not wishing I had some Barbie Doll's flat stomach or the cool workout suit she's wearing.

This review is from: Yoga Zone: Stretching for Flexibility (Beginner to Intermediate) (VHS Tape)

I am in my mid-thirties and am finding I am losing some of my flexiblity. This video is easy-to-follow, and after one week, I find myself more flexible than before. Yoga Zone workouts are a great value, as the other reviewer stated. For your money, this is the way to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough, but good (not for beginners)
I usually like the Yoga Zone videos. Not only are they a good value for the money but the routines are well explained and truly geared towards the goal set. Read more
