『This poster is truly an ashtanga practice chart. Sized to just 12"x17" so it will fit at the top of your yoga mat and laminated for durability and easy cleaning this item is just right for easy reference while practicing. While it is no substitute for learning the sequence with a qualified instructor, this poster does give instruction for practice and where to place the attention and is a great reminder and inspiration to practice. The 112 elegant poses of Vicki Picone and the professional full color photography and design of Marc Gerritsen make this a lovely little wall decor item as well.』

IPhone 3G used's review (Nice offering of five short yoga practices for common conditions) 『This is the original VHS release of a product that is currently in re-release by Gaiam and titled "Healing Yoga." The video features five short yoga routines (each about 8.5 minutes), so the VHS format makes it somewhat awkward to maneuver from one to the next. The practices are led by yoga instructor Rodney Yee, who teaches via voiceover. In addition to the five main routines, the video begins with a 4-minute "Conscious Breathing" exercise: here Yee leads the viewer through breath awareness while in a reclined position. I have described each of the five main practices in detail below.
Stress. This practice is a bit shorter than the others (7.5 minutes), and it is designed to release tension from the head, neck, and shoulders; Yee demonstrates along with fellow yoga instructor Suzanne Deason. It begins with several arm stretches, including stretching the arms overhead and into eagle arms. There is also a single sun salutation and several standing poses (triangle, side angle, wide-legged standing forward bend). The practice finishes with some additional arm stretches an a brief savasana.
Indigestion. Here Deason demostrates alone, beginning in a reclined position for a series of reclined twists. Several variations on seated (sage) twists follow, and the routine concludes with child's and hero's poses.
Back Pain. This practice uses two blankets and a strap; Yee is practicing alone. The props are used to facilitate several supported reclined postures. There is a brief cat/cow stretch followed by down dog, and then cobra pose is practiced with the blanket under the hips. The routine finishes in child's pose.
Fatigue. This practice uses a chair and two blankets, and I believe the demonstrator is Yee's ex-wife, Donna Fone. The first posture is standing forward bend with the head supported on the chair, and then down dog is performed with the head supported on the block. Next, the chair is again used to support the head in a seated forward bend. The final pose was a sort of modified plow, resting the knees and the tops of the feet on the chair; this posture was a bit difficult to set up, especially given that not much time is allowed here. The practice finishes with a brief rest with calves on the chair.
Headache. This session, which Yee leads alone, was a bit longer at 9.5 minutes. It consists mainly of supported, restorative postures. Yee uses two blankets and an eye bag for both legs-up-the-wall pose and a reclined lying chest opener with the feet at the wall. This routine also includes practice of alternate nostril breathing and brief meditation.
Overall, this video offers a nice selection of short yoga practices. I would recommend it mainly to those with some prior yoga experience, as the practices move a bit quickly at times. My favorite routine was the Stress, which required no props and which did not suffer from the lack of longer pose holds. Finally, I would definitely recommend purchasing this practice in DVD format under its new name, Healing Yoga, to facilitate ease of use.』
(Great for headaches) 『I've used this numerous times for headaches, works great and doesn't take long. I wish too it was available in DVD before I wear it out.』
(Great parts; Not so Great Parts) 『In some ways, this tape is as good as the rest of the Yoga Journal series with Rodney Yee, Patricia Walden, and Suzanne Deason. The first section, "Conscious Breathing" is good daily practice, whether you are having health problems or not. Likewise, the "Stress remedy" is a routine that oould be used every day as your usual yoga practice. It's the best thing on the tape, in my opinion.
I've used the "Indigestion" remedy as an alternative practice during my period. (No backbends, inverted poses, or vigorous standing poses.) It's got some good, but gentle, exercises for your abdominal muscles, too.
I use the "Back" section occasionally, when I feel like I need it. But I get almost the same thing on the "Awakening" section of the Yoga for Energy DVD in the same series. This one is a bit gentler, and so would be better if you're really hurting.
Now, here's the bad news: I was really disappointed by the "Fatigue" section. This is something that I suffer from more frequently than the other ailments, but this "remedy" has positions I can't get myself into. I can't put my forehead on the seat of a chair. (The back, maybe.) And, no way can I flip myself over into the supported shoulderstand with knees on the chair. I'm much better off just putting my legs up the wall, or doing relaxation pose than going through this tape.
The "Headache" portion didn't really impress me, either. I'm no yoga expert, but I can put together a more useful headache remedy myself. (Neck stetches, eye rolls, etc.) There was a nice demonstration of alternate nostril breathing, which is worthwhile technique to know.
I'll add my vote to those who would like to see this in DVD. Since these practices are all "self-contained", virtually everyone who uses this tape is going to want to skip portions, and a DVD format would be helpful with that.』
(Wish it was DVD) 『This is a good and useful presentation. I have purchased my second copy. There are 6 segments covering stress, fatigue, back pain,indigestion,headache, and relaxation with breath. Each segment is about 8 minutes long except the relaxation which is 5 minutes. My question is, why don't they put it on dvd so the user could skip to the section of interest or even program ones own session? That would be the only thing I would change about this product.』
(Very Effective Short Practices !) 『This is one of the first two Yoga programs I ever bought almost nine years ago (I have over 100 now).
I used the "Back Pain" and "Stress" as well as the "Conscious Breathing" segments for years. In fact I still do the "Back" segment almost every day as a little quickie extra practice before lunch each day to get the kinks out.
I don't know if this is available anymore but I hope it is because for someone who needs some short Yoga Remedies this program is really useful!
I guess if this isn't available, then I would recommend Suzanne Deason's "Stress Relief Yoga For Beginners" which is a wonderful healing and gentle practice. It is basically like the Rodney Yee but taken to another level.
The "Awakening" section from Rodney Yee's "Energy" program is similar to the "Back" segment of the "Remedies" program.
Namaste』 『Rodney Yee and Patricia Walden guide viewers through five yoga sets to relieve common ailments. While they do warn that these movements are designed forminorailments (of course, if your ailments are more serious, you should check with a physician) and do not replace a doctor's consultation, these simple and gentle movements should help alleviate aches and pains associated with stress, indigestion, fatigue, headache, and back problems. The video begins with conscious breathing, which is helpful no matter what your complaint. Then individual problems are addressed separately in five segments of approximately eight minutes each. Props are needed: a wall to lean against, a yoga brick, an eye bag, a strap, a chair, and folded blankets. Yee's soothing voice, the gentle lapping waves of the beach in Hawaii, and the relaxing yoga positions will help restore your inner peace and reduce your tensions.--Jenny Brown』

The people in this yoga tape range from about 38 to 70 years old and for every pose there are options for those wishing more stretch, or less. Chairs can even be used. I reviewed every yoga tape in our public library, looking for one that gave us the benefits of a yoga workout without leaving us in knots. A great entry into yoga for almost any age group! My only suggestion, as these poses are very well demonstrated, is that someone totally new to yoga would find a visit to a yoga workshop helpful to get going. I give this an A for being a really great beginning for anyone needing to stretch and strengthen his body and balance. An A for being super for seniors, as well.』
(Wonderful!) 『I have had 3 back surgeries and have been in pain for 10 years. I have tried so many things to ease my pain. This program helps!! I have found relief from much of my pain through practing yoga especially through Peggy Cappy's programs!』

This DVD is one I would recommend for anyone who is inflexible. The instructor is excellant with very good instructions for the main sections covered that are seated, standing and sun salutations. These are done in manner that are easy to follow and work with and I found them all doable though for me the seated and standing were good to start with before trying the sun salutations.
Highly recommended』
(Truly for all of us) 『This yoga video is as it is described Yoga for the Rest of Us. It is ideal for anyone starting out and also great for anyone who wants to follow a basic practice. It is designed to accomodate those with physical limitations, lack of experience as well as those with a knowledge and ability with yoga. As a yoga teacher I frequently recommend this video as one that is accessable to many and very safe to do alone. Peggy Cappy's style is open and clear.』

I'm new to yoga and not that flexible yet., but there is lots on this DVD that I can do now, and a lot more that I will work my up to. Definitely worth the price. This one will last me a long time.』
(Excellent.) 『I have attended class with a very thorough teacher so I found this very easy to follow, having had that experience. Nothing substitutes a good teacher, but this comes close. Pleasant background music.』
(Very Comprehensive) 『I gave up on yoga when I couldn't work a class into my schedule on a regular basis. I've bought a few DVDs and this is the first one I've stuck with. I can find a workout no matter how much time I have to put in that day, or what I feel like. There's so much to choose from. This isn't the standard 2-4 routines of 30 minutes. It's good instruction and a great home practice yoga video』
(I've seen Better) 『I used the 'beginner' section. Still moved too fast without explanation for moves. Teacher's voice I found to have a rather annoying timbre. The exercises didn't really seem to flow smoothly. I didn't like the apparent structure of the different levels. It appears that each exercise was individually taped, then, depending on the level of exercise,the pre-taped exercises were shuffled around and inserted. Basically they were all the same exercises only pared and chopped and repositioned. It appeared to me that the 'close-ups' of some moves could have been videotaped in a way that didn't feature the demonstrators crotch. I found some of those shots to be very unpleasing to view.
I wouldn't have bought this DVD had I been able to preview it. It really wasn't what I was looking for. I still prefer the Rodney Yee Yoga series the best. They are shot in nicer venues with pretty scenery. The music is much more conducive to the exercise of yoga for me. The explanations and flow is much more enjoyable in the Rodney Yee series than this one. Yoga for everybody seemed like it shot by the same people that make health films for high school.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Very Oddly Organized) 『The workout/yoga segments in this DVD are organized in a way that is very odd (and not very good). From the Main Menu, you can choose: Standing Poses OR Twisting poses OR back-bends, etc. Each segment lasts about 20 minutes. To go from one 20-minute segment to another, you have to go back to main menu and select a different set of poses.
There is no "combined workout" or option to do an integrated workout/session. There are also no segments longer than 20 minutes. So if you want some variety and/or a longer session, this DVD will not really help you. I found this approach to organizing the sessions to be very odd, and not conducive to a well-rounded, seamless morning workout.
If I had know this was how they did this DVD, I would not have bought it, and unfortunately, I cannot say I recommend this DVD.』
(AM Yoga - First Timer) 『I am new to yoga. After four weeks using this DVD each day, I feel AMAZING! I look forward to it each morning, and if I miss it in the morning I hurry home from work and do it at night instead. I am buying yoga sets and this DVD for all my friends for Christmas. 20-25 minutes is just the right amount of time for me. However, I don't have much to compare it to other than some hour long BORING classes at the gym.』
(Effective) 『I got this DVD as a gift. At first I wasn't very excited about it. I usually do longer yoga DVD's in the morning. I feel guilty when I do my 35 minute routine instead of my 50 minute routine, I was concerned that the 20 minute Rodney Yee routine wouldn't be enough. But I do yoga every morning and I also do aerobic at night. So some mornings I am fatigued and I need to do a shorter routine. These are perfect. I alternate between the routines and I am always so surprised that I get the kind of work out I do in twenty minutes. The routines are slow and Rodney Yee's voice is very soothing. You relax yourself into these stretches and you don't even realize that you are working as hard as you are. When you finish you can really feel the limberness and strech from the routine.
The scenery is beautiful, The voice over is soothing and easy to understand and it gives you plenty of warning before you change positions, The routines are not difficult, but they are effective. I would reccomend this as a good addition to other routines that you already do. I would not use this as my only source of exercise.』
(Great Yoga for Not Too Much Time) 『I have been looking for a yoga workout that was under an hour to fit in with my hectic work week evenings. This one, even though it is titled "A.M. Yoga for Your Week", fits the bill pefectly for me. It gives me a good workout that's challenging enough, in an amount of time that fits my evening schedule. I really like that each segment focuses on a different group of yoga poses--forward bends, back bends, twists, etc. Rodney Yee's voice is soothing and his vocal guidance during a pose helps me to be sure I am getting the most out of it. This one was worth buying!』
(Brilliant idea ( you won't need your morning java! )) 『It's been a while since I hit the yoga mat last time so I was looking for an easy way of incorporating it into my daily routine again. I'm really happy I found this DVD. The practices are perfect for my mornings - they wake me up better than coffee and after doing them, I feel stretched, relaxed and ready to start my day. The poses are not particularly difficult, which I think is important for a morning practice when you're still quite stiff and uncoordinated, increasing the risk of injuring yourself. 5 individual programs will prevent me from getting bored.

I would highy recommend this and all of Ellen's exercise videos. I LOVE the "Studio" workouts! 』 『Certified Pilates and fitness instructor Ellen Barrett presents a workout combining yoga moves with Pilates exercises to help tone, strengthen, and burn calories. Genre:Exercise/Fitness Rating:NR Release Date:7-FEB-2006 Media Type:DVD』 『So here's a portrait of yoga in the 21st Century: this ancient discipline, created thousands of years ago to enhance the meditative experience (theasanasor poses commonly used in hatha yoga were in fact designed to enable meditators to sit quietly, calmly and comfortably for hours on end), is now "a total body blast," with users urged to "get hard core" and "feel the groove," all so "your torso will look buff." At least that's how Ellen Barrett, the relentlessly sunny instructor featured in Crunch Yoga'sSuper SlimDown: Pilates Yoga Blend, sees it. But while that approach may sound pretty frightening to traditionalists, this can't in fairness be viewed as a typical yoga video; nor does Barrett, who commingles power yoga moves and what she describes as "core-conditioning power pilates," make any claims that it is. Many of the poses--including Warrior II, extended right angle, cobra, locust, and others--will certainly be familiar to yogis. But instead of holding these poses for several breaths, as is common, Barrett takes a more aerobic approach, "pulsing" in and out of positions as if this were a calisthenics class; while that doesn't do much to promote stretching, it does generate a lot of heat and calorie burning. Same goes for the pilates portions, which involve a lot of leg lifts, abdominal work, and other mat-based exercises. One might wish that the instruction were more detailed when it comes to proper breathing, alignment, and so on; it's also a bit paradoxical that while the "Crunch philosophy" states that their fitness programs are designed for "people from all walks of life regardless of shape, size, or ability," the only folks we see onscreen are uniformly attractive, bare-midriffed young women in amazing shape. But hey, whatever. Call it what you will, this is a fast-moving, reasonably challenging program that will likely find favor with many.--Sam Graham』

Teeter Hang Ups
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (It's quality and it really works!) 『I've had my Teeter Hang Ups 5000 for a year now. I purchased the Teeter Hang Ups 5000 to alleviate pain and pressure from two herniated lumbar discs. This device works very well. My suggestion is to use it frequently to keep the pain away. I seem to climb on when my back pain flares up again and I keep telling myself I should use it regularly. Another benefit is a general good felling after stretching. It does decompress the spine and makes movement easier.
My impression while setting up the unit was fantastic. The quality of the unit is top-notch and the instructions were fairly straight forward. I had a bit of confusion when setting the tabs that connect the table to the frame relative to the weight of the user. I must admit I skimmed over the instructions first. When you place the 'table' on the frame, it's good to have help as it is somewhat akward and a bit heavy. It is also easy to fold up the unit to lean it against the wall. Don't think you're going to easily move it any distance, like to put it under a bed in another room. It is slightly akward and heavy to move - but know that it is so because its so well constructed.
BE SURE to watch the DVD that comes with the unit. It makes using it so much easier. I spent some time trying to recline and it seemed so tough, then once I got vertical, I had a hard time coming back. After the DVD, it was a snap, and achieving the `balance' point on the board made it effortless to go back and come up.
In closing, I'd buy this model again and recommend it to you. 』

(Very solid product, similar issues like others.) 『This is one of the high end inversion table. Built with high quality material. Easy to assemble. Overall I'm happy with the product.
There are 2 minor things that needs improvement. These are common problems not unique to this device. But as a high end product, they are worth mentioning.
1) It is not very easy to in and out from the ankle holders. They are made of some soft rubber material, but still needs some force to get out.
2) Like most of the inversion table, this also gives pain on ankles and feet when used for more than 2-3 minutes even with tennis shoes on. It would be nice to put enough padding material. Don't even try without s
