Perfect Way to fit Yoga into your Day; Great for Beginners T

"This DVD is the exact same as "GENLTLE YOGA" by Suzanne Deason that I looked for. It is short enough (less than 30 min) that I can fit it into most any day. It is great for stretching the whole body. If you are new to yoga, I would definitely recommend this to you. It is done in a very relaxed manner in a beautiful setting with calming background music. A yoga strap and brick definitely come in handy.
To see how more difficult yoga poses and stretches can be modified for the beginner, get "Yoga for Weight Loss" also by Suzanne Deason. The title is a little off-putting but the DVD is great for conditioning for any level because in that DVD she has two other people with REAL women's bodies, helping to show various modifications of the more difficult poses."
This is a great one to begin with

"I ordered this yoga workout because I was looking to try yoga exercises again after years of doing other types of exercise; including pilates twice a week for two years and walking and doing weights two to three times a week. I bought this one because it was rated 5 stars and I can see why after doing the routine (which does not get boring) three times a week for over 10 weeks now. It has given me so much more flexibility and strength in my torso. My back is strong and I can walk better too. Even with all my working out I was getting stiff in my hips. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to try yoga. Suzanne is a great teacher and she moves you right along with a beautiful ocean background on Maui leaving you relaxed and energized to start your day in only 30 minutes."
I CAN do yoga!

"Instructor Suzanne Deason has a very soothing voice, nice for relaxing with yoga. She goes through several easy, yet intense stretches, using a strap to help pull the leg closer for a deeper stretch. The workout comes in about 30 minutes, but there is a point in the workout (after about 17 minutes) where she has just finished some standing stretches, then pauses and says "nama stay" -- then moves on to floor stretches. This is an excellent stopping point for a shorter stretch ... or you can continue to the floor for even deeper back and leg stretches. Between the gentle ocean waves in the background, the quiet piano music, and Suzanne's soothing voice, this is a very relaxing yoga stretch."
My Old Favorite on DVD

"I had this program on VHS and looked for it in vain on DVD for quite a while. They changed the title (it was called "Gentle Yoga for Beginners") but it's basically the same program. I have another longer Yoga DVD but when I only have a half an hour this one is perfect."
EASY AND EFFECTIVE

"I love all of Suzanne Deason Yoga DVDs. I've tried many, but now I really "GET IT"! That is, I get the philosophy and understand how important it is to be in the correct mind set of breathing and relaxing while performing the yoga postures. With this DVD, I now truly feel energized. I sleep better and have more energy. The best part: Doing yoga now feels great. I look forward to my daily routine. In fact, I don't want to miss a day."
