| love itThis DVD is a great introduction into yoga. It goes through many stretches and balance poses, constantly grading them for where ever you are physically. I appreciate the modifications she uses with a chair as quickly dropping and rising to the floor is not something I do well. As i continue to use the video i can feel my ability increasing. This is not for people who have good flexibility or some yoga experience. This video is truly for the beginner, the unfit, the elderly and the plus-size.
Delightful YogaAn excellent yoga source for those interested in flexibility, muscle/core strength and balance. I took yoga classes a few years ago and no longer have that option. I'd seen Peggy Cappy on PBS several times and am delighted to have her teaching me 'at home'. Physical improvement comes quickly with her instruction. Yoga for the Rest of Us with Peggy Cappy
Great!I thought this one would be slow and boring as soon as I saw a bunch of Senior Citizens in the class! I was surprised to find that I enjoy this one the most. I can feel my body strengthening as well as feeling toned, in just 3 weeks. I have arthritis in my knee and had surgery on both my feet, so I struggled with balance with regular Yoga. This class has actually alleviated my knee pain. Also, gives me energy.
It's a little boring because there is no background music. But I have learned to live with it.
Needs less narrationOnce Peggy goes through the introduction of Yoga and the positions, etc, I wish the DVD would be sectionalized so you can proceed through a routine WITHOUT all the interview clips, participant's comments and Peggy's "selling" you on yoga. It takes the attention off of concentrating on your movements, breathing and body awareness. In other words, once you have been introduced to the positions and their benefits (which only needs to be viewed once), it would be nice to be able to go through the routine with Peggy's timing and calming voice guiding you through the movements. Please redo this and other DVD's so we may truly use your gift of teaching yoga to the fullest benefit. It is hard to recommend this DVD since I feel like a light switch is being turned off and on by the disruption of interviews.
very good, especially for older or less fit peopleA Yoga type program which is very doable for people who are not ready for the serious stretching most Yoga programs require. Accomodates a range of initial abilities, including those of us who just aren't very flexible. Gives a good workout for a wide range of people.

Amazon.com"You don't need to be thin, young, and a contortionist to do this program," says instructor Peggy Cappy. Yoga for the Rest of Us is a yoga practice for people who might be inflexible, out of shape, or feeling aches and pains. Cappy presents three 20-minute routines that work separately or together. Part 1 is a series of warm-up seated stretches. Part 2 presents standing poses, holding a chair if needed. Part 3 is a flowing series of Sun Salutations, building stamina, and again using a chair if necessary, followed by relaxation. Public television yoga instructor Cappy teaches gently and quietly, accompanied by demonstrators of various ages and conditions. Recommended for people who thought that yoga was beyond them because of age, medical conditions, or fitness level, especially those with functional challenges, such as not being able to bend down or reach for a top shelf. --Joan Price
