Element: Yoga for Stress Relief & Flexibility |
 Beautiful yet challenging workout |
| I love the background of this video. I can close my eyes and picture myself in those surroundings. The flexibility part is quite challenging for someone who has not done yoga for more than 25 yrs however after the 3 days that I've done it, I can feel that there's a difference in the way I hold my tense muscles, it feels like a good needed stretch. I will continue with this workout to challenge myself and gain back the flexibility that I've lost. - posted by Eden on 2/16/2012 |

 cant do this, will return it. |
| I played this today, to try the flexibility program. At 60, I do housecleaning and drive a schoolbus. It is very well presented, she is clear and easy to listen to. But I cannot do those poses, even her opening moves, right at the beginning. I have issues with a tight lower back, hips and her moves are way too much for me. Obviously, I have to use 'beginners' yoga flexibility workouts instead. - posted by vanessa on 10/22/2011 |

| Interesting approach and commentary |
| The "Element" videos are filmed at a So. Cal location to die for, and I'm not sure if that adds or detracts. The two workouts get progressively harder. I am a rank beginner, very stressed, very stiff and 66 years old, so it is very challenging. However, I find the instructor very genuine and she presents things in a good way, so I want to continue. I also do (as opposed to several other commenters) like the way she wiggles and adjusts herself. It gives me permission to adjust to what is good for me. She touches on the spiritual aspect, but doesn't get all superior about it. - posted by SB on 9/23/2011 |

| Well worth the time & money |
| This is a great video. The 30 minutes for stress is great after a long day, and the flexibility poses are presented in a progressive way so the DVD doesn't get old too quick. The instructor is explicit and her voice is perfect. I would highly recommend this for anyone who has a tight body from office work! - posted by Fran on 8/25/2011 |

| Definitely a stress buster. |
| Let me start by saying I am not a big fan of downward facing dog & a few other poses in yoga. I do love the stress relief segment because it definitely forces you to relax & focuses alot on deep breathing. No moves that are too difficult & always shows variations for each if you're not as limber as the guide. Once I'm in better shape I hope to learn to love the flexibility segment as well!! - posted by Angel on 6/16/2011 |

| Love this video |
| I thoroughly enjoy this workout, especially the stress relief portion. I had no idea chanting OM could really release as much tension as it does :) - posted by Meg on 3/25/2011 |

| Great stress reliever |
| I like this video. It is not a traditional yoga video, i.e. with traditional yoga poses so do not buy it thinking you will be doing downward facing dogs and brave warrior poses. In fact, the stress relief segment is done completely on the mat while sitting. But I do like to do the workout when I am stressed or feeling sore. The emphasis is on breathing, stretching and generally destressing. The instructor is soothing and likable. - posted by Robin on 3/24/2011 |

| Works very well for me |
| Both the stress relief and flexibility workouts are very well done. I seriously appreciate the fact the instructor is not doing the commentary while presenting the poses, but is commenting in the background. Very effective and not distracting. - posted by Jo-Ann on 3/3/2011 |

| not my favorite |
| I didn't prefer the instructor or the program. The smiling, sticking out the tongue, etc was just distracting to me and counterproductive for my stress relief. I returned it. - posted by Lynn on 2/22/2011 |
