Product Description

Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back presents the fundamentals of posturing and breathing in this approachable 40-minute workout that includes two 20-minute sessions focusing on spinal rotation and muscular strength. The back is central to supporting all movements; conventional workouts often do not include exercises that strengthen the lower back. Yoga Zone gives excellent instruction here, and participants are taught poses that utilize both the lower and upper back. The warrior pose and forward bends are just a few of the postures performed here that can improve spinal flexibility and help to avoid future back injuries. Beginners should find the first set easy to follow (the postures within this section are modified versions of what is yet to come). The second set incorporates some back bends and deeper poses that require greater agility and strength. Despite the increased difficulty here, participants of all levels can improve their flexibility without being overwhelmed by impossible poses. Filmed in Jamaica, the content in this progressive workout is surpassed only by the white-sand beaches in the background. This regimen includes great information, cuing, and scenery--not to mention how relaxed you can feel after an intensive yoga experience like this. --Olivia Voigts

Reviewed on 2008-04-07 Yoga Zone - Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back Excellent! I have been suffering for over eight years with a back that has almost left me disabled. I bought this dvd with high doubts. I mean, I've been seeing docters and chircopractors for such a long time with such puny results.. what could this do for me, right??? I started doing it only a couple of times a week, and now I'm up to three times a week. I had never done yoga before in my life, but I definately see results. I feel as though my back is getting stronger and I am feeling better. Not overnight, of course... but I'm getting there. I would definately recommend this dvd to anyone who has just about given up!

Reviewed on 2008-04-05 Healthy Back in the Short Term This video and instructions are good but it is way too short, 20 minutes. I like the fact that one can choose to listen to the music without the verbal instructions.

Reviewed on 2008-02-21 Becoming a nightly routine My back feels always amazing after this DVD, no matter what I've done to it that day (running, weights, driving to work, etc.) This poses are simple and easy for this beginner and they feel very good. I've started doing this every night as a stretching routine and I've been waking up in the mornings without the back/abs pain I used to have after only doing the DVD 4-5x/week for the past 4 weeks or so. The DVD is divided into two sections, both with various twists, stretches and lengthening poses. The first section features more in the way of twists while the second more lengthening and even a few breathes of boat pose thrown in to strengthen the abs. The DVD is filmed in Jamaica on the grounds of the Grand Lido Sans Souci and on the beach. The music is subtle with a little bit of a reggae feel to it. I am ready to book my flight and spend all day doing yoga. As, Douglas, one of the instructors in the DVD would say, "that's niiice" and so is this DVD.

Reviewed on 2008-02-17 Yoga Zone - Yoga for a Strong & Healthy Back Only had two basic classes in yoga. Found this fairly easy to follow. Purchased this because of bulging disc. Better purchased before injury.

Reviewed on 2008-02-13 great for beginners, too bad I'm not one I'm really flexible and my chiropractor suggested doing exercises to build up my back muscles specifically. I've been practicing yoga off and on for the last 5 years and was not challenged by this video. The instruction is great, and it's a great warm-down for me, but it's very beginner level. This would make a great first buy if you're looking to start yoga. It would probably be a great DVD for someone who may be a bit overweight but still able to move around. There are no super difficult poses if you can do a kneeling lunge without toppling over. BONUS: there is an index of poses on the DVD. Great for beginners to learn the names and postures of various poses.
