Certified instructor description: Two yoga workouts — one to prevent future stress, the other to relieve current stress. Led by a medical physician, Dr. Baxter Bell, you get unpretentious instruction and a variety of classic yoga poses. The stress prevention program is designed to help you understand how your body carries stress (“be aware of how you hold your head”). With that knowledge, you can adjust your everyday actions and postures to remove the underlying causes. The stress relief workout is more of a “right now fix.” It’s designed to reduce the mental and physical tension you’re currently experiencing. Includes three, eight-minute bonus segments — relaxation, breathing and guided meditation. ©2006. DVD has:

Yoga Journal's Yoga for Stress |
| Way too slow and easy |
| Very slow and relaxing. The mood of it is very lethargic. I don't think that's necessary to be relaxed. In fact, it just made me feel restless. I wanted more flow, more invigoration. The poses are still and stagnant. This video is way too easy. It made me want to recommend it to my grandma! - posted by Cher on 1/29/2010 |

| Awful, Not Relaxing |
| Save your money. Don't buy this DVD. The instructor talks way too much (forget being relaxed listening to him). The poses don't really flow well from one to the next. Also, you have to use various props such as a large pillow for one session, a yoga bloc for another and etc. The instructor does not tell you ahead of time until the pose requires it. Am very surprised the Collage Video staff like this tape. - posted by lisa on 6/30/2007 |

| Relaxing Yoga |
| These Workouts are very relaxing, but you will need to watch the person who does the modifications, if you are an absolute beginner.The music is nice, the instructor is very good and the ambiance is stress relieving. As it should be, for a stress relief series.This is a gentle yoga workout, and I was happy to spot it because, I have a shelf of "Beginner Yoga" VHS and DVDs, and honestly, only this one and Lilias' series are really slow and gentle enough for me. Even Lilias does things I cannot do. Dr. Baxter Bell incorporates things I can do, but often in modified fashion. And the good thing is the person assigned to do the modifications is always on screen and the instructor makes a lot of mention about modifications--he always reminds you how to modify.If you are stiff and inflexible or have pain you will have to modify everything, but what I like about this DVD is it's slow enough that one can do that. I can't stand Yoga videos where they rush through things, nor do I like loud or overly preachy instruction. Dr. Bell has a nice quiet voice and is not at all intrusive. Actually his voice is soothing and that's good for a stress relief video.The one thing that might annoy some users, is that this program does require a lot of props. At least it does if you are not very flexible.For the stress relief one: if you need props you will need a chair, several pillows or blankets, a bolster if you have one, strap, possibly yoga blocks. You get the picture. I do the workout less often because I have to drag so many things into the room to do it, but when I do the work out it's really nice. These are longer workouts, more than 30 min each, so you will have to allow some time to complete them, but I give this four stars,never having seen a 5 star, but hesitating to attribute perfection to anything It also has a meditation section at the end which is also quite nice.best,Karen - posted by Karen on 5/20/2007 |

| STRESS FREE YOGA POSTURES |
| This is an excellently chaptered DVD. Includes all: postures, pranayama, meditation. Interesting features on DVD programmable to your choosing. Its great to have a Dr. assign a relaxing stress relieving yoga sequence for you whenever you need one. This is it. Easy on the joints, mind and body. Excellent workout for all to have expecially around the holiday stress or everyday job stresses. - posted by NA/AWA on 1/8/2007 |
