Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (it was okay..........) 『The music was very nice and soooothing....but in my humble opinion...all the music starts sounding the same after the second song..........』
(not very relaxing) 『I was surprised to hear how fast many of the tracks are- not very relaxing in a massage environment.』
(Absolutely beautiful music!!!) 『This is one of the nicest musical CD's I've ever played for my massage clients! Some of the songs are a little faster than I normally like to play, but all in all, this is some great music!!!』
(Wonderful relaxing music) 『I bought this cd for my husband who is a massage therapist. It's one of his favorites. Clients enjoy it also. It has a variety of styles that are wonderful variations for guitar.』
(Good if you like acoustical guitar) 『I enjoy this one for relaxation to acoustical guitar. Not quite as relaxing or long as a CD I bought specifically for massage background music.』 『Perfect for acoustic guitar buffs, healing arts practitioners and passionate new music fans, Lady of the Spice Lands effortlessly weaves evocative yet calming music. Chris Brenne takes you on a journey with instrumental solo guitar pieces, creating sounds that inspire emotion and breath. Brenne is a Cambridge, Massachusetts artist and a native of Sweden, whose music grounds listeners with beautiful, lyrical melodies that are naturally relaxing and spiritually uplifting.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Not for Intermediate Yogis) 『This would be good for someone who has never taken yoga before. I was slightly put off that a man was talking all about the poses that are beneficial to a woman's body during pregnancy and delivery. I doubt he has ever been pregnant so I find it hard to relate to. Plus there is no real flow, it does not feel like a full practice but rather how to do some basic poses. There were one or two poses that felt pretty good, but they are basic moves that you would probably find in any other dvd.』
(My back feels better for 2 days after doing this DVD) 『I know the host can be a bit long winded at times, I agree with that. But for me the proof is in the pudding, I feel SO much better for the two days after I have done this DVD. What I find is, while it is old, and it is not fancy with a beautiful resort background, it does what it needs to do, and that is tell me how to propperly do poses in order to stretch out my body and prepare myself for childbirth. I love and admire Yoga Zone's attention to detail when describing a pose, right down to something as simple as how you have your hand turned that makes a surprising difference in how the pose is felt. I never feel pressure to push myself deeper than my body should go into a pose. The other Yoga DVD I purchased was quite frankly terrible, I don't even know if I could truly call it yoga as it seemed to lack any of the poses that truly did my body good. It actually left me feeling worse, as if I had done something to knock myself out of alignment. I trust Yoga Zone to have well researched videos that include poses that are safe and beneficial. I do not need to be told by a yoga DVD to envision myself "squatting in a forest and giving birth to my child in another country" (and I am not joking, the other DVD actually said that) What I need is a yoga DVD that makes my body feel better and helps release the stress and tension of carrying a baby, and this DVD does that for me.』
(A thoroughly obnoxious video.) 『A friend loaned this to me and I didn't realize at first that it is a man guiding, because the picture on the front is of a pregnant woman in a posture. I can't believe the chutzpah of this man, telling us what postures are best for pregnancy and what feels the most balanced, etc. At one point he even says something like, "This posture is the best for feeling centered in your body and makes it MUCH easier to push the baby out during labor". And he says it with such authority... how would he know that?!! I'm sure there is no shortage of wonderful, female, yoga teachers who have had children and can speak about these things with true authority. Yoga Zone should find one - it would give their product a lot more credibility. Ladies, please don't insult yourselves by giving your attention and money to yet another man who claims to be able to inform you of the best ways to prepare for childbirth and to give birth. As far as the postures themselves go, they are just very basic yoga postures - nothing out of the ordinary. He does go much too fast for my taste.』
(Needs update) 『I am a longtime fan of Yoga Zone products, so when I received the pregnancy video, I was a bit disappointed to find that it wasn't to the caliber of the Yoga Zone Videos I am used to. It was obviously a low-budget film, and probably filmed some time in the early 80's (the gray headed yoga master Alan Finger actually has brown hair in this video!)in what looks to be the couples home. Having said this, the instruction on form is very good, as it always is with Yoga Zone, especially for 1st timers to yoga. Yoga Zone, please make an update!!』
(Great instructions) 『I used this DVD and ZenMama almost daily toward the end of my pregnany. Since I was new at yoga, it was really helpful to have Alan give specific directions about form. I know that practicing yoga helped me during delivery. For variety, I had ZenMama. I recommend this DVD highly.』 『Pregnancy calls upon a woman's physical, mental, and emotional resources like no other life experience. Part of the highly toutedYoga Zoneexercise series, this prenatal fitness program gives equal time to meeting all three of these demands and delivers an invigorating yoga routine in the process. Yoga master Alan Finger expertly coaches his wife, Greta (seven months pregnant here)--and viewers--through 35 minutes of instruction. He begins with a tremendously helpful and informative lesson on proper breathing and posture, followed by evenly paced segments of stretching, strengthening and balancing, more stretching, and relaxation. While Greta quietly moves into each pose, Alan gently guides viewers through nearly every sensation and benefit to be achieved by following her lead. His narration is constant but never distracting; rather, his reminders about ideal alignment, complete bodily awareness, and focused breathing add to the overall excellence of this tape. Designed to build a sense of power, peace, and strength in the mother,Postures for Pregnancyalso strives to bring love, health, and radiance to the growing child. A solid choice for pregnant yoga students of all skill levels who appreciate detailed guidance.--Liane Thomas』
IPhone 3G used's review (Great buy!) 『This is the first yoga/workout tape I have bought and I am so pleased. I have pregnancy fat I needed to tone up. Beth Shaw has a very soothing/soft voice and is constantly motivating you. During the exercizes she is showing you her way and an easier way incase it's to hard or if you have back/neck problems. In the beginning you do an easy warmup; you move to a harder workout and then an amazing cool down. I workout to her 40 min. tape every morning 5 times a week. I look forward to it every day and feel amazing when I am done. It has been two weeks and I have noticed a difference in my butt and thighs. My butt feels harder and my thighs have gained muscle. My arms as well has toned up too. She really works you out and I feel a burn in my legs and abs every time. I am now going back to get her Yoga Abs! Very pleased!!!!』
IPhone 3G used's review (Great for Beginners and Intermediate) 『This is one of the first Yoga DVDs I owned. I have since worked my way through several of Rodney Yee's and some other productions as well, but I believe this remains my favorite because of the flexibility it offers.
It is nice to complete a more serious Yoga collection because it has 3 short components (each around 30 minutes). This way you have segments that are short enough to do every day. Most other videos I own are comprised of one hour long session divided into 3 segments. The living arts series say that you can do just one of the segments, but when it completes one, it continues playing into the next (some videos don't even show the segment breaks). However, this video is 3 different workouts. So this video is convenient if you just feel you need to decompress or stretch for 30 minutes.
The exercises are simple enough for any beginner. I would classify the exercises as relaxation and stretching.』
(I own almost all the Rodney Yee DVDs...) 『What I like most about Rodney's practices is the way his tone of voice encourages me to reach, but doen't demand perfection.
This DVD is the first yoga CD I ever purchased. While I do attend yoga classes, I find this DVD still very useful. I especially like the emphasis on dealing with stress.
I love watching the intro sections where Rodney shows what a lifetime of yoga can do for you. It's amazing the poses he is able to do, making it look so effortless.
I also second the poster who recommended blocks and straps. No need to hurt yourself, and using these in no way takes away from the practice』
(awesome) 『I used this every moring for a year when I was very stressed with my job and it helped a lot』
(A nice selection of three relaxing yoga practices) 『This DVD contains three very good yoga practices which are perfect for virtually all levels of yoga practitioners, particularly advanced beginners to intermediates. Although the practices are each labelled as being 20 minutes long, the actual times vary a bit: AM Yoga has a 4-minute breathing exercise followed by a 12-minute yoga program, PM Yoga is approximately 24 minutes, and Yoga forStress Relief is about 16 minutes. All of these programs are very doable for those new to yoga, but they do assume some prior familiarity with the poses (total yoga newbies will find Yoga Journal's Yoga Practice for Beginners to be an excellent place to start).
AM Yoga provides a practice so gentle that I've frequently performed it upon first waking up and while still in my pajamas. The simple breathing exercise helps your mind to focus, and then the basic twists and other poses which follow help your body to awaken. The practice is led by Rodney Yee, an excellent instructor who provides flawless cuing and who has an extremely calm, soothing voice--ideal for anyone who is not a morning person! PM Yoga is a very nice practice for winding down, relaxing, and stretching. It also begins with a short focus on breathing, encouraging you to turn your attention inward "where it's quiet." The practice moves from a seated to a kneeling position and also includes traditional standing poses such as a warrior and lunges. This is a great end-of-day workout or a quick practice to fit in anytime you need to relax. Patricia Walden is also a very good instructor, but her cuing is not quite as accurate as Rodney's; however, I enjoyed her practice the most. My one disappointment with this DVD was the Stress Relief program by Suzanne Deason. Although I thought that her voice was soothing and that she cued well, she moves so quickly from pose to pose that there's little opportunity to enjoy each posture. Furthermore, the use of props seems to hinder and further complicate this practice--if the workout moved at a slower pace, the props would be a nice addition, allowing those with less flexibility to attain the poses, but because the transitions are so fast, I spent most of my time worrying about where the props were supposed to be positioned, leaving little time to relax in the poses.
Overall, this video would be a good addition to your collection if you are looking for short, relaxing practices accessible to a wide range of levels.』
(Good programs but DVD setup is bad) 『These three yoga workouts are very nice to have if you need short, relatively easy sessions. I do agree with other reviewers, however, that some of the poses are rushed and the transitions are difficult to do in that time.
My biggest complaint is with the setup of the DVD, however. Even when you navigate through the three menus to get to the session that you want, you have to sit through the intro with the instructor explaining what exactly he or she is going to do in this practice. Of course you need that the first time, but after that I'd like to get right to the beginning of the practice. But they've disabled the skip-ahead feature on the DVD! The only way to do it is to fast forward and then take the chance that you'll miss the beginning and have to back track.
I have just started using this DVD and I suspect I'll get tired of it soon simply because of that feature.』 『Living Yoga has created an exceptional yoga DVD with their three-in-oneAll-Day Yoga Workout, which combines three of their most popular programs. The first workout isA.M. Yoga for Beginners, a 15-minute morning set led by Rodney Yee. In the morning, Yee 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 next set isStress Relief Yoga for Beginners, led by Suzanne Deason. This 20-minute practice, during a sunset on the beach at Maui, will help relax your mind and muscles--especially those of the neck, shoulders, and lower back, where tension accumulates--and let stress drift away. The yoga practice includes 4 minutes of gentle stretch, a 13-minute stress-relief workout that increases circulation and flexibility, and 3 minutes of deep relaxation to leave you calmed and balanced.
The final workout isP.M. Yoga for Beginners, filmed at Death Valley and led by Patricia Walden. This 20-minute evening routine 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. These workouts are perfect for the harried and the beginner, and you will need some props (a yoga strap, a brick, a mat, and some firm blankets).
The DVD format is ideal for a workout program--the chapter search makes it easy to skip the introduction and jump right into the body work. Or if you're short on time and just need to relax, you can move directly to the meditations. An extra feature, "Learning the Basics," has pictures of every pose with written instructions on how to do them, which is just the thing for beginners who feel befuddled when told to do a cow-face pose or gate pose. A section on props explains how to use straps, bricks, and mats in order to modify more difficult poses for less limber bodies. Finally, the interviews with Suzanne Deason, Patricia Walden, and Rodney Yee round out the DVD, making for a full program. This is the ultimate introduction to yoga; it's a workout regimen that's easy to incorporate into your daily life and fun enough to convince you to stick with it.--Jenny Brown』
IPhone 3G used's review (Moving, Goovy Workout) 『I don't care for this particular Cardio Party Mix 2 DVD. It's not bad, it's just I couldn't get into the music like I did in the Cardio Party Mixes 1&3. Still a great workout.』
(Love!) 『Great GREAT music in this one. Love the sequence of the routine. Love the inspirational energy. Fun and challenging as usual. LOVE THIS ONE like I do Cardio Party 1 and Punch, Kick and Jam. Way better than Cardio Party 3 as well. Just skip cardio party 3 and get this one...』

IPhone 3G used's review (Simply Amazing!!!) 『I've suffered low, middle, and upper back pain for several years now and ShouldersBack saved me! The books that I'd read about back pain all mentioned poor posture as a possible source. I've spent all my life hunched over a piano, and the last 12 years hunched over a computer. Bingo! I Googled "how to correct posture" and found ShouldersBack. I ordered it immediately and it arrived within a week. The day that it was delivered, I was having terrible spasms all over my back, neck, and shoulders. I put it on and the relief was instant. I've worn it everyday since and I've not had any pain in my back, neck, or shoulders. My only regret is that I didn't find it earlier!!!』
(Better than I thought) 『Just remember to face the label out and this seemless support is pretty comfortable for what it's meant to do. Don't fasten too tight either, remember that you are "training" your muscles, not disciplining them ; ) Really glad I got it. Had pain shooting down my arm from constantly hunching my shoulders forward. I'm only 35, so I need to stop this habit before it gets worse...I use this thing about 30 minutes a day and/or when on the computer, when I hunch the most, and I find the rest of the time even without it I'm much more conscious of how I'm sitting.』
(AMAZING DEVICE) 『I was recently given a ShouldersBack as a gift and it just may well be the best gift I've ever been given! My back pain is gone because it helps me to not slouch my shoulders and it's very comfortable to wear. I love it and high recommend it if you slouch your shoulders.』
(I could have saved $50 and made my own with elastic and velcro) 『Now I know why, for all these years, I hesitated to buy something to train my shoulders. Because it just doesn't work!
The velcro areas are sharp and scratchy (and yes, I DID have them facing away from my body). The claim that it is 'invisible under your clothes' is just not true - unless you wear gunny sacks every day.
If it had some sort of stays or support within the garment it may have been more effective, but this had nothing except straps. PLUS, there is no option to return the item if unsatisfied.
Duped, once again, by good advertising. Call me gullible...』
『Check out these awesome lounge pants, with the AC/DC Logo in red with the Canon on grey, and 'For Those About To Rock We Salute You' in an all-over print. Comfortable 100% cotton knit pajama bottoms. Awesome gift for the AC/DC or hard rock fan.』
IPhone 3G used's review (5 stars for well-made product. Proper fit; problematic...) 『Comfortable, supportive and (in my estimation) attractive for function-wear. Well made; straps especially comfortable (no digging), smooth fabric with no pressure points to irritate, and nice decorative edging along front. I wear when walking for exercise and as an everyday bra and never need to surreptitiously make adjustments. Does not compress and everything looks "normal" under clothing. No underwire. The Coolmax wicking aspect is a bonus for me. Proper fit is a problem. My suggestion; buy BOTH one cup size and one band size up if you're currently wearing a US brand (Shock Absorber is from the UK). Even smarter; order 2 different sizes and return one. Also, go to the seller's website for advice and measurement directions.』
(Returned it) 『Not only is it terribly ugly, but the band cut into my sides and it didn't do everything I was hoping for my 38DDs, the search continues...』
(product fine but sizing wrong) 『The product seems to be fine however the chart sizing did not match need to exchange for larger size.』 『Designed for high impact activity, this Shock Absorber bra has a supportive inner layer at the side of each cup, as well as two hook fastenings at the back. Made from sweat-wicking CoolMax fabric, it also has cushioned straps for comfort.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Reiki traced back to it's origin!) 『I really liked this book! I have studied reiki a lot before coming across this book. What I liked about the book was: authentic/passionate/in depth/no fluff/caring authors! They really wanted to know where reiki came from and why. Here in the US we want stuff faster and now... I like how the authors want you to truly take your time and get/understand level 1 before moving on to level 2 then 3. No shotgun wedding here:) I run an energy meet up in Boulder for all energy healing types, and when asked which reiki I recommend, I say the International House of Reiki.
』
(One of the best Reiki Books I've come by) 『I am a Reiki Master and I love to check out books on the subject whenever I can. I was recommended the Reiki Sourcebook, by the same authors, through an online Reiki group. I ended up buying this book as well because I was interested to see Reiki from a more traditional view. I was not disappointed. Both books are very unbiased and easy to follow. Very very informative and original. I was pretty sick of books retelling Reiki histoy and the new age type "airy fairy" take on Reiki. Although there is some history in Sourcebook it is not as dry and overdone as other books. It seems to also be better researched by the authors. These two books were a breath of fresh air and I had a hard time putting them down. I actually enjoyed The Japanese Art of Reiki more than the Source Book. I thought it was more in-depth on techniques and the practical side of Reiki, which was what I was looking for. It gives you a view of Reiki as a solid daily routine. It just seemed to click with me better than some of what I was taught in my Reiki classes. This book has a lot I have not seen in any other book. The Sourcebook is more of general take on things. Though, there is not much redundant material in each if you buy them together. ( I highly recommend you do) If I could only have two Reiki books it would be these. If I could only have one it would be Japanese Art of Reiki.』
(What Reiki is really all about!) 『There is so much emphesus that Reiki is only about healing others, when in fact..."Reiki is about self-practice, self-responsibility and personal development." This book takes you back in time to what reiki is on a personal level, and what Usui-sensei originally taught. Reiki was not meant to be of just "palm healing" only, becoming a Reiki master/teacher and just healing others, look inside yourself and listen, Reiki is all about "you"! Get the book, read it and when you are done, read it AGAIN! There is no other book that can compare!』
(The Roots of Reiki) 『This book is a "must have" as it takes the reader to the Shinto/Japanese spiritual roots of Reiki and where Reiki comes from. This book has become my Reiki bible and has deepened my practice. When you perform the exercises, as specified, the energy is undescrible and so very spiritual as it takes the participant to another place and space. If you purchase no other Reiki book this is the book to have.
』
