Yoga Journal: Yoga for Stress With Dr. Baxter Bell

the DVD practice offers two 35 minutes practices, the first covers basic poses like down facing dog, warrior positions and a few hip twists; the second is more to relax and release stress from the body that uses a lot of props like 2X blankets, blocks and a wall. In addition, there are two 10-min guided practices: meditation and relaxation, which i wished both were longer.Both 35 minutes session were very gentle and instructions were clear. If you are particularly new to yoga, I think you will enjoy this DVD. I store a lot of stress in my upper body and found this dvd useful, but not targeted for my specific needs. However, I still got a lot out of using the DVD and still felt the release; but I do need to supplement this dvd with a more targeted stress reliever for particulary bad days.I recommend this dvd to learn about breathing, which is absolutely critical for any yoga practice and the ability to relax, which this dvd does address.

I wanted to start practicing yoga and thought this would be a good DVD to start with. It really isn't for a beginner as the pace is a little too fast and there are really no instructions on the poses. It seems like you have to already know some poses to be able to follow along with the instructor.

It's very simple exercises that are very relaxing but if you're looking for exercise type of stress yoga, that's not it. It's very mild, and probably good for people with injuries. I'm not a person who likes crazy weight loss yoga or anything like that. I actually prefer mild styles but this DVD doesn't provide much of a work out if you're already somewhat familiar with yoga practices.

For a Yoga DVD that is supposed to help reduce stress, I thought theroutines in this one were too fast-paced. There is a strange pausefeature that is completely useless in practice. The Body Wisdom Yogafor stress DVD is much better, at least in my opinion.

Excellent for relieving stress, tight joints and loss of flexability.

Good video, clear instructions,. but the web folder is missing, so, i can't go to the links " web > index.html "

I gave my only copy of this DVD away to a friend and was so happy to find it again on Amazon. Really great routines and includes a great timer feature that is an added plus.

The beautiful blonde girl with the long hair on the cover is not the instructor and is no where to be found in this video. She is not even a student in the class. If you think that you will be doing the exercises along with her, that is not the case. She was probably hired for marketing purposes only to pose so they would be able to sell the video.
