Summary: Restless Legs Syndrome Relief
Comment: I have found after doing the exercises, the restlessness in my legs is gone, and I am able to sleep well. I focus on the exercises related to my legs, which are many, and simple, even most elderly people should be able to do many of these.

Summary: Warning -- Make sure you have the equipment
Comment: I'm a beginner in yoga, and do not have mats or anything, but I got this tape for stress relief. Unfortunately, after watching the video, I found it would be very difficult to do w/ out all the blocks, mats, and straps. Buy them first, or don't buy this tape. Otherwise, a good film... I watched it while I was eating popcorn. It still lies on its shelf waiting for the day I give in and buy the block set.

Summary: too fast-paced for me
Comment: It adds to my stress level to try to keep up with Suzanne Deason! The pace of this video is very fast, most poses are only held for one breath. So I found I was spending a lot of effort looking up at the TV, and was not getting the mental grounding effect that I was looking for. I much prefer Patricia Walden's PM Yoga, which has a lot of the same poses but at a more relaxed pace.

Summary: Stress relief? No way!
Comment: The movements are good in this video and they are great for a beginner, but the speed is unbelievable. It's like they crammed as much as they could into 20 minutes. The poses change so fast. At the beginning, I couldn't believe how fast she goes. The pace slows a little and by the end you are more relaxed, but only still recovering from the fast paced first half. Like I said, the movements are good and a nice program for beginners, but the pace is by no means a good one for stress relief. It should be called Yoga for those in a major rush. This series of videos is outstanding. I have never been disappointed in the past. I recommend looking in this same series, but another video.

Summary: Provides exactly what the title reflects
Comment: Something was about to give - I bought this video when I was working 40+ hours a week and commuting 2 hrs. in traffic everyday. I suffered shortness of breath and mental as well as physical fatigue. This video was great because I could just pop it in the vcr and spend twenty minutes doing stretches and poses that truly rejuvenate the whole body (especially targeting the neck and upper back). I was a more pleasant and content person on the evenings that I did this video and it inspired me to learn more yoga and eventually become a certified teacher. Is it worth the money? Depends on if you really use it as a tool and if it is what you are looking for - an easy and convenient key to destressing after work or whenever. If you're looking for something longer, try Suzanne Deason's Pilates for weight loss. I am a Pilates instructor and it is the dvd that I recommend to my students. It's fantastic.

Editorial Reviews:

"Today our world moves more quickly than ever, with greater responsibilities and expectations," says instructor Suzanne Deason. "When we experience stress, it's held in our muscles as tension." This 20-minute yoga practice, filmed at sunset on the beach at Maui, will help relax your mind and muscles--especially those of the neck, shoulders, and lower back, where tension accumulates--and let stress drift away. The yoga practice includes 4 minutes of gentle stretch, a 13-minute stress-relief workout that increases circulation and flexibility, and 3 minutes of deep relaxation to leave you calmed and balanced. You'll need a foam brick (or other object suitable for resting your forehead) and a strap or towel for some of the moves. Deason glides from one pose to another, her instruction clear and relaxed. This video is appropriate for all fitness levels and all ages--as long as you realize that you're not trying to match the suppleness of the instructor. Beautifully produced. --Joan Price
