| pleasedI have really enjoyed this yoga dvd. J.J. makes everything seem easy to do and I can do it at my pace. Its made me realize how important it is to stretch! Lisa
A great addition to my collectionI have been taking a yoga class regularly for almost a year now, and I think this video is great for home practice. I think if you are familiar with yoga "basics," you can really learn a lot from Yoga for Every Body.
What I like:
Variety. Between the different skill levels and the number of practices, there's always a fitting series.
Time. The practices range from 20 minutes (and actually last just that long, which is important when you are fitting yoga into a tight schedule) to over 45 minutes.
Quality instruction. Gormley is good at pointing out where you should feel a pose, how to come in and out of poses, how to modify poses for your ability level, and when to back off.
What I don't like:
My real-life yoga instructor emphasizes the importance of doing each pose on both sides of the body. So if you are doing, say, a seated forward bend with your legs crossed, you would change the cross of your legs and do the pose again. Gormley does not always do this. I just pause the DVD and do the second side.
What you should know before you begin with this video:
Get your props ready! It is helpful (though not necessary) to have a folded blanket, a strap, and one or two blocks ready at all times. I don't use props often, but since starting with this DVD, I've experimented with them and think they can be very beneficial.
Have your remote handy, too. Sometimes I like to pause and repeat a pose on another side. Also, and I don't know if this is just my system or an issue with the DVD, this video is LOUD. Unless I want to wake up the neighborhood, I turn the volume WAY down before starting this DVD.
Overall, I think this is a great value and a useful guide for yoga home practice.
Boring and slow, more suited for beginnersThis video moves very slowly with long pauses between the poses in which they announce the name of the next pose. The instructor's voice is also very monotonous which makes you want to fall asleep instead of working hard. The intermediate and advanced routines that I tried were, first of all, very similar in the level of difficulty, secondly, the level of difficulty itself was more suited for beginners.
NOT for beginners!I like this DVD and use it all the time, but I already know the yoga positions. J.J. Gormley's verbal descriptions of the yoga positions and movements are ridiculously bad! I honestly start laughing sometimes in the midst of doing yoga because she's so bad at describing it. So if you're a beginner, do yourself a favor and get a Lilias DVD instead.
Very good for Yoga beginnersI'm Yoga beginner. I find this DVD very good, since offering option to choose your training type. I loved the exercice with title (do not remember exact title) 'adapted to do during menstrual period' . I didn't like the fact that one person does yoga and another voice comment. But it is difficult to exercice yoga when talking I suppose.
