Yoga for Stress Relief (With The Dalai Lama)

The routines on the DVD are suitable for all levels. If you have stress related issues and want to use yoga to find relief, this is a good choice. Good instruction, very calming setting (on a nice beach), and the routines are as short as 15 minutes.

I've never found a yoga video that I actually loved, but this one is pretty good. The pace is good, the scenery is nice, and Barbara has a calm, soothing voice. I did think, however, that she included some poses that were too advanced for a beginner or someone with limitations. I would prefer the poses include modifications where possible.

Finally, this is the Yoga DVD I've been looking for. I'm a beginner, and I imagine that it's great for beginners and the more experienced. This DVD gives you a LOT of Yoga for your dollar. The running time is over 5 hours! It's separated into 4 categories: Beginning and Ending Your Day, Neck Shoulder and Back, Easing Your Mind, and Stomach and Digestion. Then within these categories are about 4 - 5 yoga sessions, from 10minutes to 60minutes. For example, in the category of "Beginning and Ending Your Day", you see sessions for Beginning Your Day Slowly, Wake Up, Evening Revival, Letting Go of the Day, and Insomnia Issues.

The only issues I have with this DVD is that for each category, there is no introduction. For example, I put on the session for "Insomnia Issues" and I was hoping for even a slight introduction that said, "Insomnia Issues. These poses will help you with X because X". There wasn't even a title screen, so when I put it on Insomnia Issues and the first thing she said was "stand with your feet apart... this pose is good for indigestion...", I wondered if the chapters were off. But I felt very relaxed afterwards so I figured it was correct. Another thing - have all your blankets (to prop yourself up), blocks, a chair, straps, etc., right there at the ready. Since there is no introduction for each session, she doesn't start off by saying, "for this session, you'll need....".

A very good buy, highly recommended.

My man has alot of stress in his life and some back pain, this DVD has helped him chill out and strengthen his back. His only compliant is its a little slow, so he is buying a workout yoga tape. Good for people looking to chill out, not so good as a workout.

This DVD has many workouts that help with stress and it has helped me relax and feel better. I can find something to do every day since there is so much on it. As others have said Barbara is wonderful to listen to and she helps reduce my stress and how I felt from it. I liked this one alot.
