I did listen to samples and liked the classical music. I thought this type of music would be general enough for the not-so-serious or new to yoga. The cd turned out to be a flop because the music does not flow one to another and the loudness changes from one song to another. Terrible for a class as I found myself wondering what happened to the music. I suppose this cd would be okay if you don't want to spend alot of money and just want some background music in your home but not for yoga practice.』

Kakaku：
Sounds True
『Richard Freeman has achieved international acclaim for his graceful mastery of the Ashtanga form of yoga. Richard has practiced and taught yoga since 1968. With over nine years of intensive study in Asia, he brings a unique synthesis of meditative disciplines to light. In the Intermediate Series DVD, Richard builds on the alignment and internal skills taught in his Primary Series video. The Intermediate Series is a continuous dynamic flow of nearly 70 postures which specifically give access to the central axis of the body. As the Primary Series is grounding, strengthening and calming, so the Intermediate Series is opening, exhilarating and awakening. Their combined effect is that the mind can enter meditation with both brilliance and calmness. **Caution: The exercises in this video are part of a progressive series. Students should have mastered the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga before attempting the Intermediate Series.』 fetish『 Keeping Fit in Your 50s - Flexibility 』

IPhone 3G used's review (Perfect after a fatigue-filled menopause) 『Since I am on the other side of a fatigue-filled menopause, I am now in horrible physical condition and find this DVD perfect for someone in my condition. Every single muscle in my body aches. I have tried all sorts of different yoga DVDs and find them too difficult (at this time) for me. I think it's a good place for me to start.
I also have to say that I don't find them talking to me like I am stupid. I think they are talking to those who have not had much experience with yoga, pilates, and exercise in general, and, last buy not least, the elderly.
The worst thing I can say about this is that that in order to miss all the talk, I have to FF to the right spot. I miss the old VHS tapes, where you could turn it off and start right at the place you want. If there is a way to do this with a DVD, I would love to know.
』
(I'm so very disappointed!) 『This is absolutely the most annoying exercise video I have ever viewed.
Too much talk! I just couldn't get pass the chatter. The narrator is condescending lecturing as if talking to 5 or 6 year old children. The constant babble is a turn off when one is trying to exercise. I kept watching, and hoping but by the time I reached segment 6 I was fed up! I hit mute! Without the chatter the video might be somewhat useful -- don't know.
Chattr aside -- keeping fit in your 50s is a very very basic intro to body-sculpting. If you have never exercised it might be for you. If you want a good work-out video this video is not for you.』
(Keeping fit series is good for women in their 50s) 『I purchased the series and liked all three, particularly flexibility. I was glad to see inspiring women my age in the DVD and thought their approach was realistic and not too frenzied. The exercises were familiar but effective. On the other hand, the timing can be a bit off, so the counts during workouts aren't perfectly symmetrical. The explanations take quite a bit of time, but those can be skipped later to go straight to the workout sections. The DVD series repeats a lot of information, but that might be useful to those who buy the DVDs separately. Overall, I feel good after the workouts and feel these are age-appropriate.』
(A Model&A Jock Doing Yoga . . . .) 『These are not your average fiftysomethings. One is a model with an obvious facelift, the other is a cyclist who keeps opening her eyes very wide as if she's having shock treatments. Both are in phenomenal shape, and both talk as if they're speaking to retarded children. (I'm fifty-five, I am not stupid!)
The video begins with a lot of "tips." Things most people know at fifteen and probably have taught by fifty. For example, we get a nice shot of what a calf is. (Body part, not farm animal.) We're told that if a stretch is too difficult, we should back off. Duh. (Again, I'm aging, not stupid.)
The stretching is basic Iyengar Yoga. That would be fine if (1) it were very simple Yoga for those of us with arthritis and other problems and, (2) if detailed information about how to do each posture properly was given. It isn't.
Just as the viewer has decided to be spoken down to and has gotten into the stretching (Yoga), the two women on the tape decide to give us a taste of Pilates, and then what they actually call Yoga, which is what we've been doing for an hour already. ???
Although the stretching and other work is all right, the women thankfully aren't twelve and bubbly, and the music is only repetitive enough to peel the enamel off one's teeth, I'm not happy with this video. I do a lot better with Rita Moreno's "Now You Can!" and the Living Arts Yoga series. 』 『Muscles tighten in your 50s, inhibiting the full range of motion and making a regular flexibility program more important than ever to improve posture, prevent injury and relieve stress.

Also highly, highly recommended for social justice activists who want to tap into the powerful, mindful and positive energy that Michael Franti brings to his art and all that he does.
The yoga moves are fairly challenging with breathing exercises mixed in. I consider myself to be intermediate, and it will take me some time to get them down and be able to keep up with the fairly quick pace of the film. There are a few great extras, including a conversation between Michael Franti, Sharon Gannon and David Life, as well as live music performances by Michael Franti.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Great alternative to regular yoga!) 『I am a nurse practitioner and I also have MS. I have tried to do regular yoga videos, but they are too difficult for me. I have very poor balance and body aches which prevents me from doing many of the poses in the typical yoga videos. Dahn yoga for MS is wonderful, not only for people with illnesses or disabilities, but for anyone! It's easy to follow and gives alternative ways to do the poses if one is too difficult. You can do this video if you are unable to walk or in a wheelchair. The stretches and relaxation techniques were wonderful. And because I was able to keep up during the video and actually do the poses, I completed the video feeling relaxed and confident rather than defeated as I have when trying to do other yoga videos. As a healthcare professional and someone who has MS, I would highly recommend this video to anyone, but especially those with physical limitations. It's not the typical yoga and that is what's so great about it. I don't think you'll regret getting this video. Good luck!』
(Dahn Yoga) 『Video says it is suitable for wheelchair users, but rarely shows how. A lot of time spent showing/explaining "alternate moves", but the wheelchair participants are only randomly shown in a small window in background. If you cannot get up and down from floor, the movements are limited.』
(Dahn Yoga for MS and Similar Conditions) 『I was curious about this DVD. I am an avid home exercise person and have used many yoga videos before. Yoga is one of the few forms of exercise that does make the mind and body connection making you feel better. "Dahn Yoga for MS and Similar conditions" goes beyond that. I have relapsing remitting form of MS and have seen a decline in my physical abilities since my diagnosis a year ago. My right hand is much weaker, pins and needles sensation,spasticity, and a lack of feeling or ability to grip things.
I tried this DVD just tonight and did the entire thing start to finish and watched the interviews at the end. This one session alone helped me so tremendously. I don't feel any spasticity in my right hand and its the closest its felt to normal since my crazy journey of symptoms with MS has begun. It actually feels better, I'm astounded and tremendously grateful to find this DVD. If anyone has or knows someone with MS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia etc... Run to do not walk to the computer to order this one,its a keeper. I have done various forms of yoga this one is different. Think gentle physical therapy exercises meets yoga, massage and reflexology rolled into one. That's what this one is like and its fabulous. In my opinion if it can help someone who suffers from a chronic debilitating illness/disease like MS and yeild benefits to their mobility and ability, drug and doctor free, I say its worth a shot. You won't be sorry to try this one. I'm hooked on it after one try. Its not a cure but its a tool to help you to tread successfully rather than drown in the dread of your illness. Why not be better, not bitter. Seeing the interviews at the end was truly inspiring and the transformations its made in the participants life and mobility is not something to be ignored, its to be applauded. They are heroes and hope for a better quality of mobility and life. There is a reason why doctors and physical therapists recommend yoga, it works! This DVD is a gem. Try it!!!』
(I AM SO THANKFUL) 『I am so thankful to be part of such a wonderful aid to help people with MS and similar conditions. The members from my classes are so proud of their accomplishments and they want others to experience how they can change the quality of their life. As an instructor of these classes I like to give the DVD to new members to help them reinforce what I teach in the classes. It is also great for the members who cannot attend class. These simple exercises and breathing techniques are great tools to help with symptoms of fatigue, balance and stiffness. At the release party for this DVD the members of the class demonstrated some of the exercises shown in the DVD. The guests were amazed at the energy from the members. Everyone was smiling and felt so connected. We are so happy to be able to now share through this DVD with others throughout the country.』
(this is not yoga) 『This is neither classical or modern yoga therapy. It is some sort of oriental medicine and has no research supporting the many ridiculous claims made in the dvd.』 『A Dahn Yoga workout designed to accommodate the needs of people with multiple sclerosis and other similar conditions. Includes gentle stretching exercises, guided breathing, deep relaxation, and energy training. Reduces muscle pain, spasticity, and fatigue associated with the disease, while helping participants to manage stress more effectively. 10% of the profits from the sale of this DVD will go to the Dahn Foundation, a non-profit organization which seeks to share principles of Dahn Yoga with the general public.』

It takes about 40 min. for the beginning version but even if you can't spend the whole time at once you can do a few of the stretches. It really gives you some good moves to do for warming up before playing a round too.』
(AWESOME!) 『WOW! I love this DVD. I think I will need to by another because I actually wore it out!』
(not what you think) 『I am really dissapointed in this DVD. She explains all the moves, but your are left on your own to do them. You have to pause the DVD after each pose so you can count your 10 breaths and then continue on to the next pose. Not at all what I wanted.

IPhone 3G used's review (This Mat Rocks!) 『I've practised on the Black&Purple Lite mats and this mat is right up there with the rest of them. The Black mat's too heavy for me as I travel frequently, and I find even the Purple Lite too heavy for shorter trips like hauling to&from the yoga studio. This Eko Lite's great for transporting/ travelling but still retains its heavy feel.
After a week of practice I can safely say it doesn't buckle like the other thin 3mm mats do. It sometimes looks as if the mat is uneven and doesn't sit flat on the floor smoothly, but when you're practicing you don't even feel it - it feels like a flat and solid mat. I practice in a heated room and after warming up, you do need a towel or yogitoes coz it gets slippery when wet (like most other rubber/ PVC mats too). But it grips well when doing a regular not-too-sweaty practice.
While researching this mat I couldn't find more close-up shots of what it looks like up-close, so I've taken some pictures here: http://skippettystreet.blogspot.com/2008/08/eko-lite-where-have-you-been-all-my.html
Overall, a highly recommended product, especially if weight is a consideration.』
(great mat-- smell goes away) 『I was so glad to get this new mat--it's light and easy to transport (because it's thin you can roll OR fold it into a suitcase). The smell is strong but goes away-- you can lay it outside for an hour or 2 to reduce it significantly. Best not to leave it rolled up at first, but let it breathe and the smell goes away. I got the sand color and it's a nice gold... It does wrinkle a little bit in practice, but it's worth it for the lightness and the low enviro-impact.』
(yoga mat review) 『i like the idea of being eco friendly but for me this mat is too thin. also it's texture is too slippery for hot yoga in my opinion. mike』
(Great mat. Smell not bad.) 『I have the Manduka thick black mat. It is the greatest but it is hard to transport and it's not eco-friendly. All of the other thin mats I've used buckle. I've used a lot of mats and have done yoga for a long time. This is an amazing transportable mat and it's eco-friendly. After 3 days leaving it unrolled, the smell on my blue mat is FINE. The quality and sustainability of this product should make it a no-brainer. I love it. If I didn't already own a non-eko black mat (that will survive me- and my kids), I would get the 5 mm eKO mat.
GREAT job, Manduka! Yogis- buy this mat. You'll love it.』
(Returned it) 『I really liked the mat when it arrived - but on opening I saw a 2 inch long deep gash on the smooth side of it - the rubber had not filled properly on that spot. I'm inclined to think it was a quality issue on that particular mat. There are some spots where the rubber seems to have not filled smoothly which I think is how you can make things with natural rubber? - Really dont know. But the deep one made me return the mat, since I thought it might tear at that point given it is only 3mm thick. But I really liked the mat's look and feel. I'm going to buy the 5mm version since it might not be affected by the irregular filling scenario.』 『The Manduka eKO yoga mat offers something new for eco-conscious yoga practitioners--a natural-rubber, closed-cell mat that's designed for durability and comfort, yet decomposes completely at the end of its useful life without leaving a footprint in landfills. The 3mm thick eKO mat is made from non-Amazon-harvested tree rubber, and boasts a patented manufacturing process that's completely free of oil-based products, toxic materials, foaming agents, and the type of plasticizers commonly found in other eco mats, such as TPE and POE. At the same time, the natural rubber in the eKO mats is latex-free and non-allergenic, so you needn't worry about allergies hampering your yoga routine. This particular yoga mat is 71 inches long and 26 inches wide--4 inches longer and 2 inches wider than most yoga mats. Designed and manufactured with the same level of quality, attention to detail, and respect for the environment that sets apart all Manduka products, the eKO mat comes in four brilliant colors: moss, lava, aqua, and sand.
』
『This is the lighterweight version of Manduka's new eKO yoga mat. We can confidently report that the new eKO mat is the best eco-friendly yoga mat on the market, period. After three long years of research and development, Manduka's resulting product is stunningly impressive. It has a great grip and feel, superior surface grip, and nice durability. The eKO mat's manufacturing process is of the highest integrity. It's made from 100% natural, non-Amazon forested tree rubber, and it's the only eco yoga mat on the market whose foaming agents are completely non-toxic. (Other eco mats might be made from rubber like Manduka's eKO, for example, but their actual manufacturing process still involves toxins.) Because of this, when the eKO mat is disposed of and biodegrades, it will leave behind zero toxic residue. And unlike TPE and other petro-based chemical eco-yoga mats, the eKO mat does not have "memory" from being rolled up and will lay completely flat without corners rolling. This is an extremely high quality yoga mat. Available in 4 great colors. 1/8"x24"x68".』
