The scenery on the beach is so beautiful and the music is so relaxing that I would buy this tape just for that. But the benefits of doing these exercises are terrific. I’m 56 and have tried yoga before, but none of the programs were explained as well as this one. I stand on my feet all day long and they ache at the end of the day. The seated exercises and the neck exercises were a welcome addition. The breathing exercises are explained exceptionally well and decrease the appetite.

I am a beginner that has a tweaked back and I got this as well as a few other DVDs and I enjoyed this one. I’d mix it into my practice.

Thank you all for your comments as I do appreciate them:-) I am the licensed Occupational Therapy Practitioner who made this tape with a sincere desire to help a very special population. Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of helping 1000’s of people recover from debilatating injuries and illness and noticed that not all people can perform the exercises on other DVD’s and so I set out to produce one. This DVD is for you if you are:

1. Slow moving due to stiffness from arthritis and / or a senior
2. 20% or more overweight and eat when stressed
3. Have fibromyalgia
4. Live with chronic fatique syndrome

We have another DVD out now (soon available on Amazon) that is more challenging and a TV series on the way. I look forward to helping you achieve your health and fitness goals:-)

Warmest Regards

Suzanne Andrews

This was my first Yoga DVD purchase. Being a beginner, the stretching exercises are great but the quality of the product and the too sappy, sweetness of the instructor, I had a hard time getting into a routine. It was hard to focus.

I was expecting this DVD to challenge me with yoga postures and a relaxation/meditation geared to weight loss. Each posture is held for only a very short time and many are modified in such a way that I felt no challenge at all (and I am fairly new to yoga).

Strangely, the routine is broken up with blank screens between every posture which tell the benefits of each posture. This feature would have been better placed on an extra track for one-time review. It left you standing there for an extended period waiting for the next posture. And there was only one new posture that I had not seen in other yoga DVDs.

The “weight-loss meditation” at the end was only 5 minutes long and not much different from the relaxation poses at the end of other routines.

On the positive side, the breathwork is explained well enough that I have recommended this routine to my mother, but I probably won’t be using it again.
