Yoga Zone - Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back Review

I have this DVD for couple of years now. Once I got the routine, however, I put it in back of my collection and forgot about it. One day, while bending down to pick up a basket at the grocery store, I felt a sharp pain in my lower back. It was so painful that even a drive home was a torture. The next day, I took out this DVD and started the exercise again. In the beginning, every movement was stiff and painful. Gradually, in the space of couple of days, my back pain was gone. I now incorporate this Yoga program into my regular routine as a warm-up. It is easy and incorporates a lot of gentle bending and twisting. This DVD is broken into two parts. If you do the whole thing, it'll take 36 minutes from beginning to end. Great exercise for your spine and lower back!

Yoga Zone - Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back Overview

Yoga Zone - Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back Specifications

Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back presents the fundamentals of posturing and breathing in this approachable 40-minute workout that includes two 20-minute sessions focusing on spinal rotation and muscular strength. The back is central to supporting all movements; conventional workouts often do not include exercises that strengthen the lower back. Yoga Zone gives excellent instruction here, and participants are taught poses that utilize both the lower and upper back. The warrior pose and forward bends are just a few of the postures performed here that can improve spinal flexibility and help to avoid future back injuries. Beginners should find the first set easy to follow (the postures within this section are modified versions of what is yet to come). The second set incorporates some back bends and deeper poses that require greater agility and strength. Despite the increased difficulty here, participants of all levels can improve their flexibility without being overwhelmed by impossible poses. Filmed in Jamaica, the content in this progressive workout is surpassed only by the white-sand beaches in the background. This regimen includes great information, cuing, and scenery--not to mention how relaxed you can feel after an intensive yoga experience like this. --Olivia Voigts

Helpful Yoga Video - meesh - USA
I'm new to yoga but have found that these stretches really help to loosen the tightness in my back. It doesn't feel like you are doing anything strenuous while doing the exercises but the next day I feel like I am looser and have more energy. I'm glad I bought it and the short sessions are not too hard to work into a busy schedule.






Cheesy with a Horrible DVD Menu Layout - J. Barre - Baton Rouge, LA USA
I couldn't get through five minutes of the DVD, though I will give it another chance. My initial impression was that it was horribly cheesy, and then when it brought you to the main DVD menu, it only had begin work-out. You couldn't choose to only do a shorter workout if you wanted--it would just play the full 40 minute DVD.
Also, if it's focusing on back pain, I would like to start off slow, maybe on the floor, before I get into the standing postures.
However, it was filmed in a nice, setting as opposed to other DVDs with a simple, white background and a mat. Also, even though cheesy, the instructors seemed nice and competent.



Disappointing - Teresa L. Caranto - US of A
I am disappointed with this DVD. I have other Yoga Zone DVD which you can really use to exercise and get benefit from it, but this one will just show you yoga poses and then you're on your own. Don't expect to sweat on this one.

Moving Toward Balance - 8 Weeks of Yoga With Rodney Yee by Rodney Yee With Nina Zolotow

"Moving Toward Balance: 8 Weeks of Yoga With Rodney Yee" by Rodney Yee with Nina Zolotow provides a systematic approach to developing and maintaining a yoga practice. It presents the ancient discipline in which physical postures, breath practices, meditation, and philosophical study that are tools for achieving liberation as a way to lead you to your own innate, ever-changing balance.

The bulk of this book describes poses that are introduced by categories each week of the program. I liked how the poses are shown with variations to accommodate different levels of strength and flexibility. The text has many photographs, all in color. While some of these pictures are pretty small, you can still see the pose Yee is illustrating and imitate the pose yourself.

If the book only provided the poses, it would still be a good book. However, it also provides information regarding living in balance and in the third part information on customizing your practice. This is the chapter I really found useful. It is a very short chapter, but one I think is important because everyone needs to customize their practice to meet their own personal goals for practicing yoga.

In an ideal world, everyone would be able to practice with a qualified instructor. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. For whatever reason, if you can't work with an instructor, Yee's book will enable you to learn and incorporate yoga into your own life. The book has an emphasis on home practice and encourages you to work on what works best for your own body.

If you are fortunate enough to attend classes with a qualified instructor, this book makes a great supplemental aid for bridging what you do in class and home. Regardless of you experience level, this book has a lot to offer. I also believe this book combined with DVDs is even better. Sometimes it benefits to see how Yee gets into the poses, rather than just the finished position. I know Yee has a lot of DVDs out, I personally have 6 or 7 of them. The combination of this book with DVDs provides a lot to practice. Even if you don't get any DVDs, I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to incorporate yoga practice into their lives.
