Product Description
Studio: Uni Dist Corp (music) Release Date: 08/23/2005

Amazon.com
Yoga isn't just for people who are already supple--it's a way to become more flexible. Yoga for Inflexible People presents modifications and props to make traditional poses accessible to people who could not otherwise perform them comfortably or correctly. You get more than 35 workouts and about four hours of instruction and practice in all. Choose a general workout, focus on an area of the body (shoulders, legs, hips, and back), or select a peaceful or energizing workout. Within each category, you have a choice of several different 15- to 75-minute series (some seated), much more variety than most videos offer. Some of the poses are beginning level; others are not. Leader Judi Rice demonstrates well, instructing by voice-over, though her expressionless face lacks warmth and personality. You'll need a yoga mat, blocks (or large books), a long strap or belt, a chair, and blankets. --Joan Price

My At Home Class January 1, 2009
At the beginning of last year I started taking a couple of yoga classes, but due to a change in my job I could no longer attend them after a few weeks. The teacher suggested that I pick up a copy of this video to work with since it was geared to what I needed - focusing on my flexibilty and learning yoga.

In the last year I have made a big improvement. The DVD itself is broken down into main sections focusing on different areas and also some general routines. In each area there is a good selection of poses to help you learn the moves. Some are easy to start with, such as just standing properly and relaxing, while there are longer sections which add to the poses and increase the range of movements in the poses and adds additional poses. I look back at where I was and realize how far I have come.

The pace is good and I never felt rush or hurried so I could learn how to move into the poses without straining. I hope to find the time to try to make it back to classes but I am happy I still had a chance to learn.

NOt a workout DVD December 12, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is strictly how to. If you are looking for a workout - this is not it!! It does not flow from one position to another. You have to pause then set up your props then start again to complete pose. I ordered based on others reviews and what I received was not what I expected or was looking for.

Great addition for People Needing Supplemental Work December 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As a personal trainer who specializes in working with people going through physical therapy after long periods of no activity because of injuries, surgeries or accidents, I found this yoga program to be an excellent and safe at-home supplement that I can give them to use between our sessions. The instruction and approach is perfect for people who need to rebuild their strength and flexibility.

Very Helpful November 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This DVD was what I needed to learn yoga. I am not what could be called limber by any stretch of the imagination and yoga always seemed intimidating.

Judi was able to get me past that with her good instruction and gentlew voice. She explains the poses in detail at a pace that I was able to follow and the DVD seemed designed for me in how she made each pose accessible with many recommendations and suggestions throughout.

Good selection of routines depending on what you would like to work on and also some general routines too. Very good.

True to the title! November 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've had issues with flexibility since childhood, and I've always been intimidated by yoga for this reason. The title of this DVD appealed, and I had to try it. The Iyengar yoga techniques, which focus on alignment and precision, include modifications for beginner students using props like belts, blocks, and blankets. The instruction can seem repetitious, but since the teacher isn't really there to correct errors, this ends up being helpful in understanding the poses. Even if you end up switching to a different technique later, this provides a good background in the poses. My review would be five stars, but the instruction on breathing wasn't always clear, and there were some errors in the recording. However, there's an impressive variety of workouts from beginner to moving towards more advanced work, and true to the spirit of Iyengar yoga, I've found these techniques to really help in promoting a clearer, less stressed mind.
