Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies
Sara Ivanhoe
Starz / Anchor Bay, 2000
Best for beginners
I borrowed this from the library because of the reviews stating it was so basic that you might only watch it a few times. I plan to buy it now though because it is so helpful to an absolute beginner like myself and the slower pace is more relaxing to me. I believe the ...

Tai-Chi for Health
Tai Chi for Health
Fox Hills Video, 1998
A Great Beginner's Tai Chi Video
Here's a video I go back to over and over again as reference for basic moves in Tai Chi. It's a down-to-earth, easy to follow video that tells you want you need and want to know. The pace of this video is perfect. While some tapes spend so much time on "warm-ups". ...

Living Yoga - Abs Yoga for Beginners
Living Arts, 2000
Great relaxing workout
This tape is phenomenal. I never thought I could find an ab workout relaxing, but that's exactly what this tape offers. There's a strong focus on breathing and some of the new age things you come to expect with yoga, but it definately provides a great ab workout in a ...

Yoga Fitness for Kids Ages 7-12
Kalish
Living Arts, 2001
fun for all
My group of kids ages 6 -11 all love this video. It's a riot to see them all trying the different poses. They ask for this video on an "indoor day" when it is snowing or raining. Even the most awkward kids enjoy trying because it is very low key and presented as a ...

Helpful poses, good flow to routine
I have been using this video since the beginning of my pregnancy and I am now almost 6 months along. I find that I appreciate it more as time goes on, because many of the poses help alleviate lower back pain I have from the changes in my body, and I can tell I feel ...

Attention All Kids!
I am so glad I found this video. When I was a kid growing up in Ohio in the 1960's we used to listen to the 45 record of Chicken Fat in Gym class all the time and we all loved it. It was really because of Chicken Fat that I became interested in fitness. Today I own a ...

This is a wonderful tape for the older person, the beginner, or for those who are reluctant to begin Yoga. Watching the older people master the yoga moves is definitely a confidence builder for anyone. Start with this and move on to a more advanced program if you so ...

My go-to yoga tape!
This was one of two tapes I got when I started practicing yoga. (The other was Living Arts Total Yoga, which I also like, but which is somewhat different in style and is 60 minutes long.) I agree with other reviewers that Rodney Yee goes through the poses very ...

This is the best!
I checked this video out of the library once when I was having severe muscle stiffness. I'm a mesomorph, and tend to get very musclebound when I train. When I saw it for sale, I had to have it! The workout is not at all strenuous, but is excellent for joints, ...

Denise Austin - Xtralite:Beginner's Yoga Essentials
Denise Austin
Live / Artisan, 2000
Perky, enjoyable, changes body and attitude
This is an enjoyable introduction to yoga. If you don't like an instructor giving verbal encouragement ("You're doing great!") you might get annoyed with Denise's perky comments, but many people like me appreciate any positive feedback they can get -- even from a ...
