Yoga for Stress Relief Streaming.
Movie Title: Yoga for Stress Relief Yoga for Stress Relief is available for streaming or downloading. |
This is an extremely versatile DVD by celebrated yoga instructor Barbara Benagh. She has combined short posture segments into a series of 20 different practices addressing a variety of stress-related conditions, from energizing after a long day to coping with aches and grief to relieving various digestive conditions. The practices, which are slow-moving with a mostly restorative focus, range in length from 15 to 60 minutes, making it easy to fit yoga into even your busiest days. Barbara frequently uses props; in addition to a yoga mat, I would recommend that you have at least one blanket on hand (preferably 2-3), with pillows and an witness bag being optional.

A breakdown of the DVD is listed below. The headings are the items found on the main menu, and the bullets note submenu items. The times for each practice are given as they appear on-screen, but I’ve added times in parentheses based on my absorb review. I’ve included brief notes on some of the practices that I have already tried; I thought to edit this review with additional notes as I employ more of the spacious material on this DVD.

One final distinguished label is that not all of the practices waste with the venerable relaxation pose, or savasana: some enact with legs-up-the-wall pose, others kill in a relaxed seated situation. Overall, this is an respectable yoga DVD well-suited to a wide range of practitioners, from those fairly current to yoga to more experienced yoginis like myself. Highly recommended!
I have to confess I had become a lapsed Hatha Yogini. After years of practice, a few intervening accidents and life intervened and my Hatha Yoga practice was sacrificed in the caldron of daily life.
While I was aware of my body appealing the toxins of people’s tainted attitudes, violence on TV and in the newspaper,etc, I chose to persist in the exingencies of my work and studies ignoring the calls of my ailing body.
In that my work and search for centers around stress relief and I am a student of the Dalai Lama, I decided to check out this video.
In my experience this is one of the best yoga videos among the now 1,055 yoga videos now listed on Amazon. It combines meditation instructions from the DVD A Path to Happiness by the Dalai Lama and a host of stress relief combinations from gentle awakening to more vigorous awakening to working on what malady our bodies are using to signal us that we are out of balance.
The instructions are determined and concise without undue explanation. (For students who scrutinize more belief of the poses, the videos of Rodney Yee, Patricia Walden, John Friend and many others are out there.)
The instructions are for the average person. There are no Sanskrit names. There is honorable attention to gracious alignment, appropriate focus and attention and spend of props. Her breathing instructions are the best that I have heard from any yoga instuctor.
As I practiced these routines I could literally feel toxins go, my stiffness begin to leave and my “energy” plod more freely.
This is the video of a seasoned Hatha Yoga instructor and practioner and yoga practioner. If you want to learn complex advanced poses and their Sanskrit names, don’t bewitch this video. If you want to detoxify, and restore balance to your life, this is the video for you.
