Spotlight customer reviews:

Customer Rating:

Summary: I like the option to cut the instructor's voice out
Comment: 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.

Summary: Stress Prevention Practice
Comment: In order to manage stress through mindfulness, Dr. Baxter Bell presents two practices. The first focuses on energizing poses and the second focuses on calming the nervous system. If you are interested in avoiding stress related illnesses then you might enjoy one or both of the 30-minute practice sessions. In the first session you may recognize:

Practice 1

Mountain Pose
Mini Sun Salutes
Standing Forward Bend
Lunges
Downward Facing Dog
Chair Pose
Locust Pose
Warrior II
Tree Pose
Side Angle Pose
Wide-Legged Forward Standing Bend
Cobbler's Pose
Boat Pose
Half King of the Fishes Pose
Modified Bridge
Final Relaxation Pose (skip this is you want to continue for 60 minutes)

While doing the postures it is helpful to have a block or a set of pillows.

Practice 2

Dr. Baxter Bell's pleasant narration leads you through the poses with some creative visualizations. In the second practice there are lots of stretches and they are held for just the right amount of time. Some of the postures/poses include:

Mountain Pose
Shoulder Raises
Eagle Arms (great for tight shoulders)
Standing Forward Bend
Wide-Legged Forward Standing Bend
Downward Facing Dog
Supported Child's Pose
Spinal Twist
Queen's Pose
Final Relaxation

For the most part this DVD presents exercises that calm and nourish. With the use of blankets and pillows this becomes a gentle yoga practice. If you put both practices together you can exercise for 60 minutes. Since I did this workout before an interview it gave me a chance to see if it really was able to reduce stress. I feel that this yoga DVD also gave me a clear mind and I felt relaxed and healed. I can recommend this to beginners and intermediates who are seeking a stress reduction program.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Great work out!
Comment: I highly recommend this DVD. I really worked up a sweat and could really feel my muscles working. The 5 and 8 minute relaxing segments are very nice. I think they would be great done at night before bed time.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Too Fast-Paced
Comment: For a Yoga DVD that is supposed to help reduce stress, I thought the
routines in this one were too fast-paced. There is a strange pause
feature that is completely useless in practice. The Body Wisdom Yoga
for stress DVD is much better, at least in my opinion.

Customer Rating:

Summary: OK
Comment: This yoga tape is designed for someone who is new to yoga. Dr. Baxter Bell does throughly explain proper form and the benefits. My only complaint is that the music isn't very relaxing and I felt like I was in a classroom setting with his tone of voice. I would probably recommend this for the man in your house who is resistant to trying yoga.
