Product Description:
Yoga For Inflexible People is for anyone who considers themselves inflexible. The yoga postures developed 5,000 years ago were not created for people who are already flexible, but rather to help inflexible people become more flexible. A wide range of poses are taught and modified to help both beginning and intermediate students experience the benefits of yoga. The modifications includes suggestions for the use of props, which can be either actual yoga props or items you have around the home, such as a belt or books, to assist you when you feel you need additional assistance. Of course if you do not need props, you do not have to use any.
Customized workouts allow you to progress at your own pace and the DVD contains dozens of routines which designed to carefully guide you along your journey into yoga.
When Yoga For Inflexible People was released, the Yoga Journal declared it "One of the most intelligent and useful presentations served up in a long time" and praised it as a DVD "...for all beginning students whether they are inflexible or flexible."
Yoga For Inflexible People continued to be commended as the Yoga Journal rated the DVD as one the Top Yoga DVDs ever produced. (December 2006)

Yoga isn't just for people who are already supple--it's a way to become more flexible. Yoga for Inflexible People presents modifications and props to make traditional poses accessible to people who could not otherwise perform them comfortably or correctly. You get more than 35 workouts and about four hours of instruction and practice in all. Choose a general workout, focus on an area of the body (shoulders, legs, hips, and back), or select a peaceful or energizing workout. Within each category, you have a choice of several different 15- to 75-minute series (some seated), much more variety than most videos offer. Some of the poses are beginning level; others are not. Leader Judi Rice demonstrates well, instructing by voice-over, though her expressionless face lacks warmth and personality. You'll need a yoga mat, blocks (or large books), a long strap or belt, a chair, and blankets. --Joan Price

I've had issues with flexibility since childhood, and I've always been intimidated by yoga for this reason. The title of this DVD appealed, and I had to try it. The Iyengar yoga techniques, which focus on alignment and precision, include modifications for beginner students using props like belts, blocks, and blankets. The instruction can seem repetitious, but since the teacher isn't really there to correct errors, this ends up being helpful in understanding the poses. Even if you end up switching ... Read More

I had gone to a chiropractor for neck and back problems, and had a bit of deep tissue massage done. I kept getting the feedback, "you're so tight here." I tried a yoga class, but found doing a one hour class to begin with was too much. Then I bought this DVD. This is great.
I especially like the fact that one DVD has 35 separate routines on it, varying in length from 15 minutes to an hour, and concentrating on specific areas. So if you only have 15 minutes and are having neck problems, there ... Read More

I purchased this DVD because I am interested in learning yoga for flexibility and strength, but I am very unflexible. The DVD is a great way to start yoga, increasing the exercises as your flexibility improves.

I had a terrible accident almost 11 years ago, and after that everything hurt, so I stopped doing the things that hurt, and I became my body's worst enemy, all my muscles got tight and uncomfortable, and a few times a year my back would go out and that seemed, while terrible, normal. I got down on the fit path, and I do a very good workout routine now, but I still hated stretching because I was so inflexible, and the back still went out.
I moved from stretching into this yoga video. It ... Read More

For the most part, positions feel too isolated in this DVD. I wish it felt more like a yoga class, with positions flowing from one to the next to create a routine. I don't like the screen going black between positions. You'll perform one position standing, the screen goes black, and then you're sitting, without having gotten there by means of a position like forward fold. I would have preferred routines which stretch my whole body in one routine and don't really like the focus on individual body parts for ... Read More
