"I am also a Kripalu yoga teacher, in Minnesota. I have dozens of books, CDs, and DVDs. I was looking through my collection
for one to recommend to my students when I pulled this one out and watched it again today. It feels perfect to me, a slow-paced,
meditative yoga class, that works on balance, strength, flexibily, stress reduction, and relaxation. The people in the DVD
look like normal people. The poses are ones anyone can do. The instructor does a wonderful job not only leading us mindfully
into the pose, but also speaking of what to notice in the pose, and then leading us to mindfully release the pose. His voice
is soothing, the water setting is relaxing."
"I have the Feel Better Now yoga dvd by Gary Halperin. It's great.
The quality is really, really good.
I like
the colors that they chose, the red and white clothes against the ocean and sand background are a good, clean, clear image.
I like that the 3 participants were of varying ages and abilities. And the green grass and sailboats were cool.
As far
as the workout itself, it was easy to follow. I appreciate that. His voice was clear and stable and his cues were simple and
short. That's perfect for a beginner.
The time is a good amount for a beginner. I feel like I got a full body workout.
I like the phrases "do as best as you can today" and Gary's other comments were reassuring.
I would recommend this dvd
to any of my friends or students who want a good full body stretch. I use it in combination with my jogging twice a week.
It's a good, high quality production. I am really glad I bought it."
"I own this DVD and have given it as a gift to friends because it is a good way to get into practicing YOGA regularly.
They agree. I use it to fill in between classes and when on vacation, so my instructor is never far away. The DVD is beautiful,
real people are doing YOGA with the instructor, and the setting is a beautiful beach. Even though it seems easy to do all
the poses and stretches, it is amazing that by the end you know you've done something good for you body. I definitely do feel
better when I'm done and I recommend this DVD to anyone who is currently practicing YOGA or wants to begin practicing. You
won't be sorry."
"I love this DVD and I feel better now! The yoga instructor, Mr. Halperin, makes it a very pleasant experience. It is
extremely relaxing, especially with the soothing words of this very skilled instructor, and the wonderful musical background
and the beautiful scenery. An altogether positive experience in every way. Thank you very much for this excellent yoga DVD.
You can do it at home or with a group and get a lot of benefits from it. It's great for reducing stress, gaining flexibility,
and feeling better in general. Bravo! I highly recommend it."
