Gentle Yoga for Balance, Flexibility and Mobility, Relaxation, Stretching for All Levels

I originally borrowed this dvd from the library, and after one try I was hooked! All of the four different workouts are relaxing and effective, but the first one for shoulders and neck are worth every penny and more. I have always held tension and stress in my shoulder blade area and in middle age have had some mild shoulder pain as well, but this workout brings instant relief. It is not too difficult and Jessica gives modifications and advice to do what's good for your body. She is one of my favorite fitness coaches, as she knows her stuff and can challenge you without being loud, too talkative or bossy. She has a gentle voice and spirit that is very calming. I highly recommend this set of workouts and am using it weekly in conjunction with my exercise routine.

Try to do this twice a week. Video is divided into four twenty minutes sessions. Doing the first three sessions for a complete one hour workout covers most if not all the major joints. Being a 76 year old male with Rheumatoid Arthritis keeping my joints flexible is important and people, including myself, are amazed with the amount of flexibility Yoga provides. This video is easy on the joints and very relaxing. One thing I really like is that she teaches the class rather than just performing the exercises accompanied by a voice over as do all other Yoga videos I have. It is more like going to a real class. The exercises are performed next to a pool and the sound of the water running into the pool during the lessons is very soothing.

Easy to follow instructions and helps to learn yoga at a pretty chill pace.

Been trying a lot of yoga workouts that say for beginners or seniors that have been more difficult that expected. This Gentle Yoga workout has been wonderful. I bought it over a year ago but am just now trying it during my weight loss and exercise journey. The flows are as promised - gentle - and easy for this overweight 60 year old to do. The instructor is easy to follow and offers added difficulty as you progress in the flows. Four 20-minute sessions are perfect for getting back into the routine of working out and stretching a couple of times a week. Planning on keeping this in my workout rotation.

It is good for an elderly person and it is simple enough maybe too simple, for me. But then again I'm an active early 60 yr old who wants beginning yoga. Back to YouTube for videos to motivate me.

Like product for seniors.

I recently purchased all four of Jessica's new DVDs--all winners--and I wanted to add some additional points that I neglected to place in my other review. There are several other features of all her new walking programs that set her apart as well: first, she explains technique perfectly! As I mentioned in my other review, I have many other exercise DVDs from top names in the field, and often I don't think the instructions are adequate; hence, injuries are more likely. You're in great hands with Jessica because she demonstrates an understanding of physiology by her clear, detailed instructions, and I feel safe with her. Second, I love the clock feature she has on all her recent DVDs. It helps you gauge your endurance as well as encourage you to make that final push when you see the time is almost over! Last, I think the price point of Jessica's DVDs are very reasonable. For $14.95 you get three 30-minute workouts. I normally pay $19.95 for two 30-minute workouts from other leading names. I can't say enough positive things about this wonderful woman who truly is revolutionizing exercise programs offered to the general public. I think if you give her a try, you will be a continuing customer.

I very much enjoy this video but don't consider it gentle. There are many poses that require significant flexibility and it you're a beginner, may be discouraged by your inability to get in to those poses. It puts stress on your shoulders at times so if you have shoulder issues, you will have to skip certain poses. It also significant stresses the hips so those with hip issues probably wouldn't enjoy this video.
