DVD Yoga for the Rest of Us with Peggy Cappy
"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
Review(s): DVD Yoga for the Rest of Us with Peggy Cappy
Yoga for the Rest of Us
Alternated with "More Yoga for the Rest of Us," it's a wonderful, calming and very effective strengthening, stretching and relaxing workout for all ages, and allows for physical limitations.
Great Program
I have severe arthritis and this DVD has helped me keep my joints as limber as possible. Peggy does a wonderful job explaining the poses. I highly recommend this for anyone who has difficulty in completing a normal yoga program.
Agree About Sterile Yoga
I agree with S. Wilson about this video being somehow "sterile". I have many yoga videos, & had high hopes for this one, but found it disappointing compared to Lilias Folan's yoga videos. If you're new to yoga, her beginner's videos are easy to follow and very effective. If you want to practice with the aid of a chair, try "Healing Yoga for Aches & Pains", which I found incredibly good for relieving arthritis pain and stiffness. Just my 2 cents.

Instructor Peggy Cappy's More Yoga for the Rest of Us takes up where the first volume (released in 2002) left off, with a gentle, easy-to-follow series of yoga poses recommended for novices, those who are older and less active, or anyone dealing with injuries or recovering from illness. Unlike so many yoga video programs, which emphasize the athletic aspects of the practice (certainly a part of yoga, but hardly the most important part) and feature beautiful young people with perfect bodies, Cappy takes a "do what you can do" approach, stressing yoga's noncompetitive side and suggesting simply that the more often you try it, the better you're likely to feel; there's no New Age music, no exotic locations or groovy outfits, and the students who demonstrate the poses with her include a...

Yoga for plus-sized women? Why not, especially when it's presented clearly, simply, and utterly without condescension, which is the case with Just My Size Yoga. Instructor Megan Garcia, a large woman herself, knows that self-consciousness and limitations due to shape and size keep many would-be yoga practitioners from attending actual classes; hence this 45-minute program designed to introduce new students to yoga's many benefits. Garcia promises that a regular yoga practice will promote not only physical well-being (including energy and flexibility) but also confidence, calm, and what she calls "an inner sense of self"--ambitious goals, to be sure, but also attainable ones. The practice consists of three parts. The warm-up focuses on the breath, along with arm lifts, spinal...

I'm a newcomer to yoga, and this DVD set my mind to ease about my ability to learn yoga at home (I don't have access to group classes as they conflict with my schedule). The flow of the workout is perfect, I don't feel rushed and yet her program design and instructions keep me focused. The time flies by and I feel much more calm upon finishing. I've actually recommended this DVD to a few friends of mine who have tried group classes yet felt they moved too fast for their level of ability. I think this is a great way for a person to get their first taste of yoga. It's now been a month and I'm already feeling stronger and more flexible. I'm no longer sore upon getting out of bed and I sleep much better. If you already have yoga under your belt, you'll probably find this workout too...

Yoga isn't just for people who are already supple--it's a way to become more flexible. Yoga for Inflexible People presents modifications and props to make traditional poses accessible to people who could not otherwise perform them comfortably or correctly. You get more than 35 workouts and about four hours of instruction and practice in all. Choose a general workout, focus on an area of the body (shoulders, legs, hips, and back), or select a peaceful or energizing workout. Within each category, you have a choice of several different 15- to 75-minute series (some seated), much more variety than most videos offer. Some of the poses are beginning level; others are not. Leader Judi Rice demonstrates well, instructing by voice-over, though her expressionless face lacks warmth...
