Time graph for Yoga Stress Relief for Beginners

Filmed on a serene Maui beach at sunset, Suzanne Deason leads you through a very gentle series of relaxing total-body yoga poses. Flowing and soothing, they're all are specifically designed to help revitalize your mind and body as they refresh your spirit. The emphasis is always on calmness and relaxation. In fact, Suzanne warns you not to struggle to "achieve" the perfect yoga position (which, of course, would only add to your stress...). Quiet instrumental music. (c)1998. (25 min.).

Yoga Stress Relief for Beginners

*The star rating system began in April 2007. Reviews posted before then do not have stars.

Not as stress relieving as it should be

I got this video because I wanted a short routine to do after work when I didn't feel like doing a long workout. I felt the stress relieving ability of this workout was decreased by the amount of talking. I also felt the poses weren't held long enough to be as stress relieving as intended. However, the scenery was beautiful and very calming, the music was relaxing, and the video was very well filmed. - posted by MJ on 2/24/2004

Nice flow

Very relaxing, liked the way one pose flowed into another. Nice and short. Great way to end your day. - posted by Darlene Watson on 10/7/2002

Relaxing

I found this tape to be very relaxing. The moves flow into each other. It is a short video, but very well put together. I recommend it. - posted by Tammy on 9/6/2002

Time Efficient and Effective

This is a nice, short yoga session to de-kink all those tight muscles and just stretch everything out a bit. I often do it in the evening, or after a long walk or other workout. It's short enough so that you can fit it easily into your day. - posted by Sandra on 7/3/2002

A great antidote to a long day at the computer

I don't know how this video would work on emotionalstress. But it does directly target releasing themuscles of the neck and shoulders that tend to tightenup when you sit at a computer all day. And at 17minutes it is quick enough to fit between work andyour evening at home. - posted by Margaret on 6/14/2002

I love this!

I do the AM and PM yoga tapes frequently. I think they are great. The PM yoga really helps me in getting to sleep at night. - posted by erica on 2/8/2001

DVD Format

The three segments, a.m. yoga, p.m. yoga, and stree relief yoga are each available in video. I want to comment on the DVD format used here. This is my first DVD, which I'm playing on the DVD player in my computer. I'm *thrilled* with this format for the ease of jumping to different segments. I can imagine this advantage in other work out "tapes" when they come out in DVD: so much easier than fussing with fast forward on the VCR. Also, this DVD contains an excellent section on the use of props, interviews with the instructor, yoga pose guide, etc. which I believe are not included on the individual tapes. It was a bit of a challenge figureing out the format the first time but worth it. Some written sections have poor contrast making them hard to read. The captions for closed caption readers are easy to read. And it's great to see Living Arts having captioned tapes and this DVD. I hope to see more DVDs. - posted by Mary Louise on 2/1/2001

Very Relaxing

I found this tape to be a wonderfull end to a day. I usually do yoga after some other type of workout. This tape helped me ease all the tension of the day and relax. - posted by Krys on 1/31/2001

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
