    In the segment I watched, the lady was out of shape and wrinkly.

    As for the stretches, they are just beginner yoga stretches; there is nothing special about these stretches.

    I thought this was well put together, but it was overpriced and I would of rather gone to the library to get a Yoga book instead. I paid $28, and it was probably worth 12-15. Some of the poses are ridiculuous as you have to be Gumby to perform them.

    I BOUGHT THIS DVD IN ORDER TO HAVE SOME THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE FOR FUTURE ,WHEN,MAYBE,I WILL HAVE TO SLOW DOWN. AND SO IT IS. THE DVD IS VERY INFORMATIVE ABOUT THE REASONS THAT CAUSE OUR PAINS, BUT I KNOW THEM ALREADY, GARY KRFTSOW IS VERY CORRECT AND HIS PERFORMERS ARE REAL PEOPLE, NOT TOO GOOD LOOKING, I LIKED THIS, BUT THERE IS NOTHING SPIRITUAL THERE. I LIKE YOGA FOR IT’S SPIRITUALITY,IT’S SOUL, IT’S DELIGHTFUL SATISFACTION. THESE ARE ABSENT HERE. WHOEVER LOOKS FOR VERY NICE PHYSIOTHERAPY , WILL FIND IT HERE. AND YES , IT REALLY HELPS BACKPAIN.

    Perhaps this DVD is geared towards those in lesser physical shape, but for me this DVD was too gentle. I did find my muscles weren’t as tight after the neck and shoulder routine, but I craved a deeper stretch for the majority of the routine. I have several other more powerful yoga DVDs I use for fitness, so my take on it might be altered. This DVD may still be good for those new to yoga.

    I would recommend a slower-paced, more gentle DVD if you are new to yoga, are older, are not as limber, and/or have painful joints (like knee pain with kneeling.) While the instruction and explanation is good, the actual work-out is fairly quickly paced. If you hurry and do the positions without doing them properly for your body, you will end up possibly injuring yourself. Although I am older I have exercised most of my life, yet both of the Kraftstow DVD’s were difficult for me. I was disappointed to pay almost $50 for both of them, which I can only return for a partial refund. If you do buy them, I would say get a used one for less to see if you like it first.
