Yoga for Beginners: A Complete Program with 9 Practices. 2 dvd set.

I bought Jane's Gentle Yoga DVD before I bought this one. This one is slightly more fast-paced, with a wider variety of sessions. Both DVDs are great. I am 51 years old and have RA, so the Gentle Yoga was a perfect introduction to yoga without demanding too much on my joints. Once I had established that it was not too taxing on my body, the Yoga for Beginners is a great follow-on, with easy, relaxing sessions, and more challenging sessions to build strength and flexibility. The scenery at Glacier National Park is a perfect, serene backdrop, Jane's instruction is easy to follow, and her quiet meditative "chats" at the end of sessions have been truly beneficial to me, especially during the quarantine and stress of the pandemic. Thank you so much for such quality DVDs!!

Below is the review I posted for another of Jane's dvds "Gently Yoga" which mentions this dvd as well.As a "seasoned" 63-yr old, my body is feeling and showing its age, especially after sitting at a sedentary desk job 40 hours a week. I have practiced yoga off and on for over 30 years, both taking classes and following dvds at home, but wanted some instruction I can do on my time schedule to improve my flexibility, balance and strength. Enter Jane Adam's "Gentle Yoga". What a wonderful treat this dvd is! I have since purchased the "Yoga for Beginners" and "Balance & Strength" dvds, as well. Jane's instruction is wonderful and immediately I felt at ease, as though she was right there with me. If she were here, I am certain we would visit over coffee or tea after a practice.The poses gently stretch and help to limber up my body. Instead of starting an exercise dvd and staying stagnant on the first two or three routines leading to boredom and avoidance, I am working my way through these dvds to discover my favorite practices. The "Lying Practice" is a favorite as well as the "Core Strength & Flexibility". Unlike other exercise dvds, I look forward to coming home and doing one of Jane's practices. The best thing about yoga is that it can be done in all weather temperatures, so the summer heat is not keeping me away from exercising!Thanks, Jane, these dvds are just what I was looking for!

Very Good. wo DVDs and good routines. A little hard to select the one you want.

I am so glad I discovered this DVR by Jane Adams! I am an active senior at 68. I ride horses, walk my dog 2 miles a day and ride a Peloton bike. But if I skip my morning yoga routine with Jane, my muscles get tight leading to pain. I had a sore hip at one point, before Jane, and had to go to an orthopedic surgeon who told me I would need a hip replacement. I went to physical therapy for weeks and felt better. Then I discovered Yoga for Beginners and find that if I do a different routine each day, I am pain free! No surgery has been needed and it has been two years! Jane is wonderful to work with and I am never bored. Her voice is soothing and the time passes quickly. I keep a journal so that I get in all the major practices each week. There is a variety targeting the core, hips, forward bends, upper body, balance and relaxation. The practices are done either standing or on the floor. After my yoga practice, I feel relaxed and flexible. Then I can go about my daily activities with ease. I hope this continues to work for me as I get older. I highly recommend Jane Adams and I have ordered Yoga for Beginners for my 27 year old daughter who has a stressful job and works out in a gym. I think it will help her to start her day as it has helped me.

Did not like pace of instruction. Moved too quickly from one move to the next

I really can’t say enough good about this DVD, or the teacher. I started doing yoga at home about 2 1/2 years ago to head off the aches and pains wanting to slow down my aging body. After trying a few DVDs, that have since been donated to our library, I found Jane’s Gentle Yoga-7 practices for your day. I’ve been with her ever since. I Am enjoying this new DVD so much that I am practicing longer most days, and feeling better for it. Jane’s clear and patient instruction while setting up and during each pose helps me to know that I’m doing it right. She doesn’t rush between poses. Her explanation of what we’re accomplishing, and just her relaxed and pleasant manner, makes each practice enjoyable. Jane, thank you so much!

This is my second Jane Adams yoga DVD. I only exercise at home and own several DVDs, yoga and others. I enjoy all of them but none as much as the ones by Jane Adams. Even the most basic moves are so completely explained that you know you are doing the moves correctly while reaping the full benefits for that pose. Her voice is so sweet and calming it makes you wish that she was your personal friend or mom or sister! Can't say enough good things about this lady. The different sections are described along with running time for that section, which makes it easy to pick which one to do based on how you are feeling that day. Buy this DVD set, you won't regret it.

Even though I have been practicing yoga on and off or quite a few years I found that Jane's dvds are perfect for doing at in the comfort of your home. I like the different sessions she offers, easy to follow instructions, and tranquil background scenery of the lake. Highly enjoy and so glad I found these.
