Beginner's Dynamic Yoga: Release Stress & Lose Weight with Suzanne Andrews

I really like that she takes it slowso you can learn how to do the poses properly .I have followed her teaching for 2 weeks now.A few days ago I made a chart listing all the poses she has demonstrated...I have purchased some tranquil music from Itunes.Now , I just flow from one pose to the other without needing to watch her CD

I did not care for this Dvd at all. The first practice would hardly even be called a warm up for 14 minutes. The second practice was done on the beach and the person's body is totally shadowed out. I bought this one because of the reviews but this is not a good dvd for people who truly want to begin a yoga practice and learn proper form. I have over 30 dvds and this one would not be in my top 20 even. Gentle Yoga is a good one that offers chair practices, practices where u use a chair as u would the floor or even practices where u can sit if u are unable to get up and down from the floor. There are many to choose from.

I had been looking for a yoga DVD to practice at home. Given that I am older and overweight I have had difficulty finding one that works for me. I tried beginning and introductory yoga DVDs and even tried one intended for the plus sized. These contained poses that were too advanced or involved getting up and down off the floor.Beginners Dynamic YOGA for STRESS RELEASE and WEIGHT LOSS provides exactly what I need. I get the benefits of yoga without the pain of attempting to contort my body into seemingly exotic poses. Called yoga therapy it modifies traditional yoga poses into moves that can be completed by those whose mobility is compromised by age, pain, or weight. The poses are simple enough to practice every day.The 40 minute DVD is easy to follow. I suffer from back pain so I especially liked the 14 minutes of sitting exercises used to alleviate back and neck pain. With just a few days of practice I feel less pain. After being sedentary for so long this DVD has me feeling rejuvenated. I expect to be losing weight in no time. Coupled with the meditation DVD included this package delivers what it promises.

I liked this DVD. It's simple and it's easy to follow. It's not hard on the body at all. The instructor is upbeat and easy to follow.The issues I had with the DVD is that sometimes the number of reps for a movement is not clear so you end up coming out to the pose to soon or staying in it too long. Some of the poses kept your eyes off of the TV so you didn't know if she had changed something. I found that to be irritating. Also, there is a more advanced movement for a few of the poses but they move so fast that you can't seem to keep pace unless your not new to yoga. That kind of defeated the entire purpose of the DVD doesn't it?All in all it was a pleasant DVD. I have tried a couple of others from other fitness instructors, the popular ones and it was a nightmare to follow. If you want slow, easy, and not too challenging this one will do ya!

I am new to Yoga and have a spinal injury from a car accident several years ago. In reading several reviews that recommended this dvd, I grudgingly purchased it still believing that it would not be for me. The instructor has classes on PBS...that was my first sign that I probably was not going to get anything out of this. However, out of the few dvds that I purchased, this ended up being my favorite. She takes you through the progressions with several repititions so that you can follow along. Honestly, this gave me the most gentle stretch to my injured back. After doing the workout, I immediately slept better and for the first time in several years, woke up with no pain. I also appreciated that there was more concentration on the core exercises itself and less on the spirituality. For beginners or those with injuries, she offers modified poses to suit your needs. I have recommended this video to several of my friends with similar physical limitations.

I purchased this DVD because I don't know a thing about yoga and I can't afford to take classes. This is a very simple, straightforward practice that anyone can do. I can perform the movements without the DVD (and with my own music) at this point, and I always feel relaxed and calm when I finish. I'm looking forward to moving towards more complex practices, but this DVD is an absolutely superb start. Thank you, Suzanne!

Was looking for something very easy, being a beginner.Easy to follow, easy to learn, and very effective! I love it

It feels good to actually be able to do the yoga positions shown on this video. The breathing is particularly helpful and I think I"m off to a good start.
