Customer Reviews

One of my favourite yoga DVDs
I'm a teacher and often find it difficult to unwind at the end of the day, especially around the end of term with so much going on. Not getting a good night's sleep, I then find it difficult to get up in the mornings and am weary of the day ahead often feeling tired and overwhelmed by all that I still need to do and the deadlines I have to meet. After reading about Yoga and its cumulative effect (even 10 mins a day is beneficial and can sometimes be better than a one hour session once a week) I was encouraged to try these short sessions out.

I have found this DVD to be one of the ones I use the most, reaching out for it especially at these busy times.

In the morning, the AM routine is perfect for when getting up is difficult: I crawl to the lounge, put on the DVD and in relaxation pose start the breathing exercises, which gently seem to awake me. The gentle stretches really seem to energize me and at the end of 20mins (which go by very quickly) I'm more awake than if I had kept the alarm on snooze for a couple more times. And definitely more chilled out during the day!

The PM routine, though a little more challenging for someone unexperienced in Yoga as myself (it helps if you are flexible) has also been a life saver. When I finish the routine, all the tension is gone from my body and I feel completely relaxed, ready for a good night's sleep.

Even doing only one of these sessions each day, I have noticed a great improvement in my energy levels and a decline in my stress/anxiety levels. I'm more relaxed, happier and get much more done. My patience at work has also increased and I am able to enjoy my time spent in the classroom with the children again (instead of worrying about all the paper work to be done after school!). After all, this is why I became a teacher in the first place!

I love it! Great relief for my fibroid pains
This is one to enjoy and has been very helpful with my fibroid pains

I have never slept so well, the PM routine helps me to relax and enjoy my rest!

I must say I prefer the direction of the AM routine as he is very clear with the poses so you are aware, where you should be and the position your making to guide you through easily.

I would like to point out if you are an absolute beginner you will need to get familiar with the terminology and the rhythm of the workout as you flow through the sequence, however once you get the hang of it you look forward to doing the next session.

It's actually Region 1!!!
The yoga itself is relaxing and doesn't push you far. However the problem I had with it is that (contrary to what to written on this page) THIS IS A REGION 1 DVD!! It plays on our multi-region DVD player, but the TV is so old that the signal comes through black and white looking like an NTSC signal NOT a PAL signal as indicated on this page. Be warned if you have a Region 2 DVD player or an old TV without an NTSC decoder!!

Might have got another star if I'd been able to see it in full colour!
