IPhone 3G used's review (Not as good as the brand name) 『I purchased the brand name first and was very happy with it. If you have bunions, etc. this help your foot. I've lost my Yoga toes and decided to purchase the cheaper version. The cheaper one are not as flexible and uncomfortable. I will buy again the brand name.』
(As I sit with them on, not moving my toes at all and watch them slip off...) 『I think, well there went ten bucks down the drain. I was going to return them but since I wore them I thought not. I have some ball of the foot and toe issues of late and saw the "real yoga toes" on a search and decided to save $25. Can't imagine the real ones being worth that much. Perhaps they are. I am using these "cheap"er ones now and do see some minor benefit from the idea. It's just that they keep sliding off. I am reaching down often to get back on. Perhaps my toes are too small. My husband laughed when he saw them on me and said "boy, did they see you coming"! LOL Well, try this... I remembered I had some pedicure toe seperator sponge things... low and behold... THEY STAY PUT!!! WOW! Who would have thunk for a dollar and 99cents you could get same effect! I suggest to try that first.』
(Wonderful! Just as good as the expensive ones!) 『I bought these instead of the expensive ones. I was really interested to see if these really worked, but I really didn't want to spend $35-$50 on the "real" ones. I figured the $10 plus shipping was worth the experiment. They do take some time to get used to ( about a week) and if you put some lotion on the toes that are sometimes difficult to insert into the holes (the smallest of my toes) then they work just fine. Lube up your big toe though, and they do slip a little. Gradually increasing the time that you wear them does help with the discomfort, even wearing them for 10 minutes, and them taking them off for 30 min to an hour and then back on for 10 minutes works great for me. Worth the money!』
(Ouch) 『These are not flexible at all. They really hurt and don't work. What a waste of money. I do use them to paint my toenails.』
(flexible yoga toes) 『these do exactly what they say they do..my toes have become a little more flexible since buying them』 『Flexible toe stretcher is Yoga for your feet! Get stronger, straighter, healthier feet in just 10 minutes aday. Just slip your toes inside to increase flexibility and circulation, realign bones, stretch Achilles tendons, and relieve stress and pain associated with bunions and hammertoes. Set of two,one size fits all.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Not returnable) 『This chair is poorly made and did not fit. When I tried to return it I was told to donate it to charity.』
(Great deal, great chair) 『I got my office to buy me one of these and I LOVE it. Considering the best available alternative is the balans Variable, at a mere $500 (and that's if you can find one), the price is outstanding. I had no trouble at all assembling it - it comes with a hex key and screws and takes maybe 15 minutes for one person to put together. Maybe every couple of months I tighten the screws because it gets a little creaky. I'm very happy with my chair will be buying one to have at home.』
(Expensive for what you get) 『This chair is not worth the $99. The craftsmanship was really poor as many of the screws did not align correctly and so it took much longer than it should have to put the chair together. It also had a few nicks on it when I took it out of the package. I decided to keep it and it felt comfortable the first 30 minutes or so but became decidedly uncomfortable within the first hour. Its definitely a chair I will have to rotate with my regular chair. Altogether- not as comfortable as I thought it would be』
(Poor quality product.) 『When I received the chair, one of the legs was missing a crucial hole to put it together, as well as a tool for assembly.
When I contacted the company, they apologized and gave me a full refund. They said they would send me another leg and tool, which they never did. I decided to try the chair anyway, and borrowed a drill from my neighbor to drill the hole.
I've been using the chair for about a month now, and everytime I sit in it, I hear a cracking noise. I'm only 110 lbs, and the chair is breaking underneath me. I would recommend this chair for children since I am short, but the chair is simply too small to be sat in the kneeling position.
In short: its not worth $99.
』
(WOW! I love the YOGACHAIR! AMAZING chair at an amazing price! Gr8 product and customer service!) 『THIS CHAIR IS AMAZING! It's a beautiful deep purple, and the seat and kneepads are comfortable for LONG stretches at my desk. It's light and easy to carry. I often throw it in the car and take it to dinner with me. No kidding, it's perfect at the dinner table! Everyone who sees my Yogachair wants to sit on it just to check it out - their first thought is to sit backwards on it- then once they sit down and put their knees on the pads, they never want to give it back! Other than causing minor arguments, this chair might even offer more world peace cause it definitely takes the crankiness out of people! They relax, then the shoes come off, they put their feet on the pads...get this look of bliss, and then they know why I am addicted to it and ask me to give it to them! I will never give up my chair -- it's HIGH QUALITY (I couldn't believe it was only $99)and easy to assemble even for me. Truly an amazing value. I wish I could buy the Yogachair for all my friends, every doctor's waiting room, and for every office. It would change how everyone feels! We'd all be in bliss!!!』 『For those who seek ultimate comfort and great posture, The Original YogaChair® is the perfect solution.

Why YogaChair feels so different and so good.
As you sit in a regular chair your core muscles relax. Your spine and your shoulders collapse into your pelvis and put a strain on back muscles, especially your lower back muscles. Notice your posture and how you feel when sitting in a regular chair after only a very short period of time. Its probably not good; you certainly don't feel the expansiveness in your lower and mid-back area that you feel while sitting on the YogaChair.When sitting on YogaChair your spine naturally lifts out of your pelvis area. You can actually feel your spine comfortably extending from your pelvis without any effort. As your spine extends from your pelvis while sitting you can feel your lower, middle and upper back muscles relax. Your entire body, including your vital organs, are less constricted. The improved sitting position is healthier for your body and allows you to sit comfortably for long periods of time. Your body will find a natural sitting position, just from sitting on YogaChair.You can test this comparison on a regular chair. Sit on the end of your chair, feet flat on the floor with your back not touching the back of your chair. Feel how your spine extends out from your rear end. Unfortunately, it is difficult to undo years of repetition and we do not sit properly in a regular chair for more than a few momentsIn a YogaChair you do not have to think about sitting properly. The design of YogaChair accomplishes that and sitting is easy.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Mosko Spruce Wood Frame Table Lamp) 『Excellent product! The lamps arrive quickly and in great shape. We love them!』
(Great Bargain!) 『Surprisingly good style and quality for the money paid! The set of two - I have bought - perfectly blended with my bedroom furniture. Sure, one could find something more solid, but it would be at least a couple of hundreds, not less. No regrets here!』
(Beautiful, sturdy lamps) 『These lamps are great! I love them. The only things you may not notice from the picture is that there's a seam on 2 of the 4 vertical edges of the lampshades where the fabric pieces are stitched together (very well done but you still see it when the lamp is on) and there's a skinny cylinder going down the center of the lamp in the middle of the 4 vertical wood structures, it's not a completely empty square in the middle as you might assume.』
(Wonderful Lamps, Wonderful Company) 『I have received so many compliments on these lamps since they arrived last month. They are beautiful and arrived very quickly. When they arrived, the shades were slightly damaged; at the first mention of this, a representative called me to apologize and to rectify things at my earliest convenience. I would certainly recommend these lamps and will look forward to working with this company again.』 『Unique modern 100% kiln dried Scandinavian Spruce wood architectural style table lamp, 27" tall, choose from black, honey, or walnut finish, with attractive hard fiber reinforced pyramid shaped shade, UL approved wiring, socket, and switch for up to a 75 Watt standard bulb, or up to 100 CF bulb, ships professionally packed fully insured in 48 hours from our Massachusetts warehouse via FedEx - expedited delivery available.

I have a four year old and a six year old who have a very difficult time falling asleep and allowing themselves to relax. It is a struggle every night. If I didn't see this for myself, I would have never believed it. Within ten minutes, both of my children were fast asleep. Lori's voice is very relaxing and I can't wait to order another cd.』
(Wonderful product) 『My son is 10 and has ADD, needless to say going to sleep at night has always been a battle. Up and down, I need water, etc.... His therapist recommended buying him a meditation cd. I can to this website and took a chance on this cd, it has been amazing. He can't go a night without it now, he needs this cd to help fall asleep. He does all the exercises and is usually asleep by track 3. Wonderful product, even for a 10 year old boy!!!』
(Indigo Ocean Dreams CD) 『I bought this CD for my son a couple of years ago. My son, who is now almost 7, suffers from ADHD and Anxiety, and the anger and frustration that go with it. He STILL listens to this CD at bedtime at least 3 times a week. He LOVES IT! In his words, "It is soothing. I really like Bubble Riding because it is fun and I can imagine floating along in colorful bubbles." I personally like the Octopus' Garden as this one has really helped him control his anger and realize that he is not the only one who gets quickly angered. This CD gave him a fun and easy method to calm down and relax. Thank you so much! Kelly Giaquinto』
(awesome) 『My daughter loves this cd. I was looking for something to help her relax at night and get ready for bed. It keeps her interest, has great messages/lessons and she asks for it everynight.』
(Wonderful Sleep Aid) 『I have been using this CD to help soothe my active grandchildren to sleep. They both love the ocean theme and take turns pretending to be the sea child, angry octopus, sea otter, turtle or even the hermit crab.I listen with them and the relaxation techniques work for me as well. All three of us have a deeper more relaxed sleep the nights we listen. I just ordered Bubble Riding and Angry Octopus. I can not wait for them to see the characters we have imagined come to life on paper in a book.』 『Indigo Ocean Dreams is a 60 minute CD/audio book designed to entertain your child in an ocean setting while introducing them to four relaxation and stress-management techniques. Children follow their sea friends along as they learn to release and manage anger with Angry Octopus, build self-esteem with Affirmation Weaver, implement Yoga breathing with Sea Otter Cove and visualize with Bubble Riding. Designed as the sequel to Indigo Dreams, this CD offers longer stories and expands on the relaxation techniques of breathing, visualizations, muscular relaxation and affirmations. Ideal for older children ages 6-12, or as step two for those already familiar with Indigo Dreams. Engaging characters present these adult level techniques in an easy to follow format that makes it fun for any child to learn. The narration is accompanied by calming sounds of dolphins, sea otters and gentle waves. An additional music sound track is included to further enhance your child's relaxation experience. These proven techniques encourage wellness and provide tools for children who suffer from anxiety, stress, trauma, hyperactivity, anger, sleep issues and lack of confidence.』

If he wakes up after a nightmare we turn it back on in the middle of the night so he can relax and fall back asleep. I would reccommend this product to anybody with a small child that has trouble relaxing at night and falling asleep quickly. I have noticed a big difference in the amount of time it takes for him to fall asleep.』
(A Family Lifesaver) 『Not often do I reach out beyond friends, family and our doctors for help when it comes to challenges we have with our anxious child. We sought out help from teachers, doctors and from within - and this series of CD has nurtured our lives! The CD's by Lori Lite have been the beacon of light for us on sometimes stormy nights. The relaxing bedtime CD's have transformed our evenings into pleasant, happy moments we now cherish with our child. My daughter (age 6) can't wait to put on her CD and enjoy the stories that lull her off to bed without a concern in the world - and I'm not even speaking to how empowered she is in the morning. Thank you so much for producing this series - it's been our lifesaver in many different ways!』
(Surpassed expectations) 『I purchased this CD for dual use: for my clients, and for my children. I was hopeful that it would be useful, but since I know I am quite critical of relaxation/imagery CDs given my expertise as an art therapist, psychologist, hypnotherapist who creates imagery, and conducts relaxation training, I didn't expect to be as impressed as I was. Not only did kids like it, but wanted to listen to it over and over again for entertainment. Even siblings who were not the intended audience enjoyed and requested it. My kids liked the stories loved the details and expressiveness of the characters. I found the voice tone good, and the content of the metaphors remarkably cohesive. Its now a staple in our car as well as a recommended resource.』
(Happy Mornings) 『My son is Autistic, and he loved the first CD in this series when I ordered it for him on a whim. The stories have helped teach him to let go of his anger, and by playing them at night when he's had a particularly overwhelming day I find him having more and more Good mornings. After story time I step out of the room and can hear him following the steps of what are guided meditations for children. Any of the CD's in this series are good. Some are geared a little more toward girls overall, but they all have something for all children. My son's favorite story disc is the one with the Angry Octopus. With the help of these CD's he truly understands now that he has control over his own emotions.』
(Great) 『My daughter (8) loves these stories. We bought the other 2 CDs as well. She really enjoys them.』 『Indigo Dreams is a 60 minute CD/audio book designed to entertain your child while introducing them to relaxation and stress-management techniques. Four unique bedtime stories incorporate breathing, visualizations, muscular relaxation and affirmations. These are the same techniques recommended for adults but presented in a fun, interactive format that appeal to children. Children follow the characters along as they learn Yoga belly breathing with A Boy and a Bear, make positive statements with The Affirmation Web, visualize with A Boy and a Turtle and relax with The Goodnight Caterpillar. All four of these stories are also available in book format. Indigo Dream s shorter stories are perfect for shorter attention spans and beginners. The stories are best suited for ages 4-9. These proven techniques encourage wellness and provide tools for children who suffer from anxiety, stress, trauma, hyperactivity, anger, sleep issues and lack of confidence. The narration is accompanied by soothing sounds of crickets, gentle breezes and forest animals. An additional music sound track is included to further enhance your child s relaxation experience.』

Many times she just gets it out and does a section on her own. She is so flexible, I wish I had this when I was a child. Very simple to follow, and fun for the parent to do together.』
(Perfect past time for too hot summer days) 『My son loves this DVD set! When it is too hot and humid to go outside he pops it in and does Silly to Calm to get his wiggles out. I don't even have to remind him he has it, he does it all by himself. My only complaint is that one of the DVDs is slightly off, the intro is scrambled, but it doesn't affect the work-out part of the video so no big deal. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone with young children.』
(interesting but too long) 『The video incorporates different kinds of postures in a fun way. However, I think a 40 min non-stop sessions is too long to hold any 3-5 year old's interest. Instead, if different routines, each at the most 10 min. long had been presented it would have been better. A parent could guide the child do those, or even accompany the child doing them. And by having different routines there would also have been more variety for the child. My three year old grand son soon lost interest and moved away to play with some other toys.』
(Very entertaining for toddlers!) 『I bought this for my little home daycare and have found it to be the most popular video in my collection to them. The two-year-olds especially ask for it all the time. It's a great way to keep them active when it's too hot to go outside.』
(Great gift for kids 5 and 3, boys and girls alike!) 『I got this for my kids and they LOVE it. They are 5 and 3 years old. I was looking for a way we could spend Quiet time. I am a yoga junkie myself. This is great, because they are quiet and getting exercise. They love doing this together so I bought the other 2 yoga kids DVD's as well. We rotate all 3 of the DVD's and do 2 a night before bed! They talk about the poses during the day and I have seen them get better each time they practice. Get these for your kids for sure. I also bought them kid yoga mats which makes it easier (and more fun!). This would be a great gift for a toddler with the yoga mat.』 『Kids love doing yoga - especially when it feels like play.

IPhone 3G used's review (I'd rather be sleeping) 『This video is appropriate for people who have no interest in a yoga workout whatsoever. It is slow, ineffective, and short. More time is spent reading the warnings than doing any real yoga. The am portion is so slow it will put you right back to sleep. Save your money! Buy a real yoga video!』
(AM Yoga) 『When I cannot get to a Yoga class this short (20 minute) tape is very helpful. I was especially pleased to be able to get a VCR tape since I don't have a DVD player in my room. I like the AM Yoga, but found the PM Yoga tape too difficult for me.』
(Nice Videos, but . . .) 『These videos each have their strong points, and I've used and enjoy them both. The biggest flaw is that, as a set, they are so out of balance with each other. As other reviewers have mentioned, the A.M. video is substantially easier than the P.M., so folks who want a good workout dislike the first, and those who are a bit out of shape dislike the second.
I use the A.M. when I feel like I need something easy and gentle, and when I lapse in practicing yoga for a while, this is invariably the tape I come back to, to get me going again. (I move on to the Yoga for Energy DVD in this Gaiam/Yoga Journal series, once I loosen up again, though.)
The P.M. video just about killed me when I first tried it. However, the moment when all that vigorous stretching is finished, and you finally go into relaxation feels sooo good. (Like the old joke: "Why are you hitting yourself?""Because it feels so good when I stop!") So, I come back to this tape, when I have time in the afternoon. And I've improved enough so that the poses don't seem too difficult now, but they still push me to my limit before that golden moment of relaxation.』
(Wonderful!) 『i'v had this dvd for years but never tried it. i have been suffering from hip pain, not when i walk but after i sit for a while and then get up, it hurts and i limp. i decided to try this dvd and after a few days the hip problem is no longer a problem so i am very happy with the quick results! am is easier than pm but i keep at it and i'm sure i'll get better with time.』
(AM/PM Yoga for Beginners) 『This is the second copy of this video. The yoga is simply relaxing, soothing and provides stretches for many body areas. The soothing voice of Rodney Yee and music provided is an added feature. Love it!』 『This yoga set is perfect for busy people who need to work in a way to relax. On the a.m. tape, Rodney Yee takes you through a 15-minute morning yoga set, while Patricia Walden leads a 20-minute evening routine on the p.m. tape. The a.m. tape was filmed on a beach on Maui at sunrise, providing a soothing background for this gentle workout. In the morning, Rodney tells us, "the body is rested but stiff from inactivity." The stretches he demonstrates are designed to increase circulation, improve mobility, and bring clarity to your mind. The movements are easy to follow (they include a conscious relaxation, the a.m. workout, and a guided meditation), and the set is short enough that it can be squeezed into the most hectic of morning schedules. The p.m. video was filmed at sunset in Death Valley. Patricia's yoga set is designed to quiet the mind after the stress of the day and to help you make the transition from active to quiet. She uses a combination of a centering series, standing poses, forward bends, and restorative poses to help you ease into night. You will need some firm blankets to sit on and a yoga strap (although a belt or scarf will serve the same purpose) to perform these movements. Perfect for the beginner and for the overworked.--Jenny Brown』
IPhone 3G used's review (yoga classes) 『I have been taking yoga classes for some time and have a few of Rodney Yee's tapes. He has a quiet, soothing manner and the scenery is lovely. The only problem that I have with this and some of his other videos are that sometimes when he is coaching the viewer's breathing, he neglects to follow through.』
(Can't review it, because I can't seem to get it) 『I've been waiting 2 months for this item, but it never seems to come off of backorder. I recommend trying another item.』
(Excellent video for back pain) 『After suffering with back pain for months and using doctor prescribed strong painkillers, I got very little relief and wasn't keen on continuing using painkillers long term. Gradually I started researching alternatives and read reviews for this video and bought it. I don't have enough good things to say about this video, it gave me relief within days, I don't have back pain anymore. Now I use this tape just for stretching after a long day at work. I like Rodney Yee's calming voice, he has a pleasant face and the background music is soothing too. After this yoga I feel relaxed and can sleep better, this is a great buy for those with lower back pain.』
(VHS Yoga Tape) 『It is a good stretching tape. The instructions are very easy to follow and the tape is formatted and shown by the sea-side. Very good tape.』
(Safe Choice For New Folks) 『The number of amazon friends who voted on this yoga tape immediately impressed this reviewer! There must be a tremendous market for home self-care. Rodney Yee creates a nice, mellow mood, with soothing background music. The production value is high. The pace is pleasant and not too fast. I was surprised by those who wrote that Yee moves too quickly. I politely disagree! My wife brought me 2 yoga tapes- Yee's and one with a female instructor. I tried the latter, thinking she would be less aggressive. Wrong! I had to discard that one immediately. Yee is far easier on a new guy- andhis back! There seems to be disagreement on the tape's length. The answer must lie in the promotional material at the start. Simply fast forward until the instruction starts. I did notice that Rodney got left and right mixed up. In those instances, I do what he says and not as he does. Am I the only reviewer who picked up on this? I am happy for those who claim this tape is a virtual miracle. More power to them! For the rest of us, "Back Care Yoga" is a nice, safe, reliable, low- key tape; just right for the hesitant beginner. On the same subject, amazoners may wish to read Dr. John Sarno's "Healing Back Pain". The two are quite compatible! The best of luck to all those searching for a little relief in life. BCY should help attain it.』 『Yoga focuses on keeping the spine open and supported, so it is understandable why millions of people turn to yoga for self-care of their back, explains instructor Rodney Yee inBack Care Yoga for Beginners, a gentle, easy 30-minute introduction to yoga. Its 20-minute yoga workout maximizes the movements of the spine and Yee carefully demonstrates the back-strengthening yoga postures, sometimes using a chair (sitting in it or standing and propping one foot on it). His form is beautiful, his explanations clear. If you're a beginner, realize that you cannot begin to approximate his degree of flexibility. Your goal is not to get as deeply into each posture as the instructor, but to reach your own comfortable limit. Cautions are given for pregnant women.--Joan Price』
IPhone 3G used's review (The Best Out There!) 『Your children will love Yoga Fitness for Kids Ages 7-12. This is an age appropriate introduction to yoga that teaches children actual poses.

(Great stress reliever) 『I have a 9 yr old boy who is decidedly UNflexible, and a 6 yr old daughter who is a natural-born dancer. They both enjoy this video, and certain parts of it are challenging to either one, but not so hard that they feel defeated. I find it relieves stress, but I must add a large part of this comes from
