[.ca] Healing Yoga:Aches & Pains

The Best Yoga for my body:
In just one week I can see a difference. My pain level has dropped dramatically. This isn't extremely physical and is easy to do. I have fibromyalgia and the muscles are always tight. Shoulders are the biggest problem area for me, and this video has the best pose for the shoulders that I've ever tried. If you are in pain, this video can help.

Very well done workout but with limited application.:
I've been practicing yoga with videos for some time now, and I thought that this would be a relaxing workout which would help with my frequent headaches. However, I discovered that the video is more focused towards bodily aches and pains--namely neck pain, back pain, arthritis, or injuries. For someone suffering from one of those conditions and who has only a limited range of motion, this tape might be useful. It is a led my a husband and wife team, Charles and Lisa, and broken into three 10 minutes sections. The first, in which Lisa demostrates and Charles provides voiceover, is a series of seated poses on a chair with a strong emphasis on breathing. Charles leads the second section with Lisa's voiceover; this section includes gentle standing postures using the chair for assistance. In the final section, Lisa again leads, this time demonstrating a series of floor poses for relaxation. Anyone who has some prior experience with yoga is likely to find this video to be much too easy, but for those who are absolute beginners and/or those who have chronic pain, this workout could be beneficial.

Excellent yoga video:
This video is excellent in every respect. Good instruction. Clear images. Wonderful ambience. Very useful for its intended purpose: healing and wellness. Also useful for any yoga practice. Highly recommend. To the two yoga instructors on the video, if they read reviews: Part of yoga practice is an emphasis on modest attire during practice. The somewhat skimpy top worn by Lisa Matkin does not seem to fit that tradition. Although the instructors are not immodestly attired, Ms. Matkin might want to consider dressing more modestly for various camera views. That is to say, my family members and I were slightly uncomfortable and distracted from practice when we were inclined to look away because she was somewhat immodestly exposed at times. Yoga tradition tells us to dress modestly during practice (and otherwise, for that matter, but that is Ms. Matkin's business). That is my only negative comment about the video and overall that is a small complaint. It is a very good video and I will use it often and recommend it to others. Perhaps in the next video the Matkins do, this comment about attire can be considered.
