DVD : Yoga for Stress Relief (With The Dalai Lama)In association with Amazon.comRating:  - Helps AlotThis is my second DVD with this teacher, while the first one was an introduction to yoga, this one focuses on yoga for various ailments. The workouts cover various physical issues (headaches, digestion, shoulder pain) plus general calming down/peace of mind (insomnia) and have been very helpful to me. Well done DVD and very good to have those times you need help to feel better. Rating:  - Helps me sleepI bought this to deal with my Insomnia which was severely affecting my quality of life. After buying, I following the evening relaxation routine and it help me got to sleep. It does work more often than not. I would highly recommend it to anyone having sleep issues. Rating: - Another Good DVDI really enjoy Barbara's DVDs. Her instruction and speaking always is relaxing and helps me enjoy what she is presenting. I love the breathwork routines alot, easy to do and are very relaxing and the routines to help with neck and shoulder tension are very effective. Another beautiful DVD and the Dalai Lama's discussion of meditation and how it affects us is very interesting. Rating: - Soothing And HealingI have a few DVDs now by this instructor and enjoy them all. Like the others, this one is broken down into 4 main sections covering the general subject (Beginning and Ending Your Day, Neck, Shoulder and Back Issues, Breathing Exercises to Calm the Mind and Stomach and Digestion Issues), with a good selection of routines and poses in each section. Has helped me with aches and pains in the areas. Rating:  - Helpful maybe, but don't use this DVD as your primary yoga practiceThis DVD is quite different from others that I own, I'm not sure that I'd really call it yoga? More like stretching. I haven't tried the morning or evening practices, just the ones for specific ailments. I can see how this might be helpful...it helped my tension headache temporarily. But it seems like this DVD may have been made for older adults or for those simply looking to use yoga to help with certain issues. Not for people who are looking for a regular yoga practice. I will still probably pull this out when I have a specific issue, but won't use it otherwise. It's pretty slow. She pretty much just holds poses for lengthy amounts of time, and a lot of these aren't your typical yoga poses. This felt more like stretching and conscious relaxation than yoga. But the scenery is beautiful, the ocean is relaxing, and overall I think this is a well made DVD. |
