Doable Exercise: Beat Fatigue with Yoga DVD

Found this DVD and decided to try it out. Found it was pretty good. Not all of it is quite as easy as Healing Yoga for Aches and Pains, but you have more routines to choose from, and there are even some you can do in bed, so it works out. I'm going to give it a long term try... And of course, if you want to buy it or check it out, click on the link below and go to my store. :)




Description
Beat Fatigue with Yoga' really is a unique DVD release. There are several DVDs available on yoga but most of them involve supermodels and perfect bodies. This DVD is for the ordinary person who gets tired; and that includes almost anyone. The programmes on this DVD are designed for people in different conditions. The DVD features Sue Delf, one of the UK's most experienced yoga teachers who teaches at the famous TRIYOGA centre in London and Fiona Agombar, author of the well known book also titled ""Beat Fatigue with Yoga."" Both have gentle and encouraging style, perfect for those just starting doing yoga, and those who already have a practice.

The Power of GENTLE Movement, Breath, and Mindfulness: Great for Pain and Tension!

I recently moved and found this DVD I'd forgotten I had, that a friend had sent me. I thought it was great at the time, but I slipped out of the habit of doing it, and soon forgot all about it. I'm sooo bad at sticking to a routine! Maybe that, and the fact that the beginning can be a little challenging for me, especially in the mornings, so maybe forgetting was my subconscious way of worming out of doing it, which goes to show what a mess I am, because the beginning is just breathing exercises! But even that is hard for me in the mornings!

Anyhow, I can't do regular yoga. Even so-called Gentle Yoga leaves me sore and aching the next day. The only classes I've been able to manage are Relaxation Yoga or Yoga for Chronic Health Problems, specifically customized for me.

Still, Chair Yoga sounded a bit silly...But believe me, it's not! You're not seated the whole time, but you do use the chair for support and to modify postures. (Downward dog is one that causes me to pull/strain my hamstrings EVERY time. But the version on this DVD is PERFECT. Stretches, feels good, releases your lower back, and no injury/pain later.

If you listen & follow their instructions, you can literally let go of pain by releasing the tension in muscles. It's really pretty amazing. Not to mention, at the end I'm so relaxed that the modified Child's Pose sends me right into a state of meditation.
I'm thinking of doing this twice a day now!


Off I go!
