Product Description:

Yoga For Inflexible People is for anyone who considers themselves inflexible. The yoga postures developed 5,000 years ago were not created for people who are already flexible, but rather to help inflexible people become more flexible. A wide range of poses are taught and modified to help both beginning and intermediate students experience the benefits of yoga. The modifications includes suggestions for the use of props, which can be either actual yoga props or items you have around the home, such as a belt or books, to assist you when you feel you need additional assistance. Of course if you do not need props, you do not have to use any.

Customized workouts allow you to progress at your own pace and the DVD contains dozens of routines which designed to carefully guide you along your journey into yoga.

When Yoga For Inflexible People was released, the Yoga Journal declared it "One of the most intelligent and useful presentations served up in a long time" and praised it as a DVD "...for all beginning students whether they are inflexible or flexible."

Yoga For Inflexible People continued to be commended as the Yoga Journal rated the DVD as one the Top Yoga DVDs ever produced. (December 2006)
Amazon.com: Yoga isn't just for people who are already supple--it's a way to become more flexible. Yoga for Inflexible People presents modifications and props to make traditional poses accessible to people who could not otherwise perform them comfortably or correctly. You get more than 35 workouts and about four hours of instruction and practice in all. Choose a general workout, focus on an area of the body (shoulders, legs, hips, and back), or select a peaceful or energizing workout. Within each category, you have a choice of several different 15- to 75-minute series (some seated), much more variety than most videos offer. Some of the poses are beginning level; others are not. Leader Judi Rice demonstrates well, instructing by voice-over, though her expressionless face lacks warmth and personality. You'll need a yoga mat, blocks (or large books), a long strap or belt, a chair, and blankets. --Joan Price
Customer Reviews:

versatile formating: Bought this a month ago and have used it several times per week. DVD has extensive range of choices that focus on certain body parts or goals: shoulders, hips, back, relaxation, etc. The user can also choose from 20 minute basics to 60 minute extensive sessions for each section, and skip around to tailor your workout as you wish. The pacing also is very well-done - not rushed, but not too slow.
Overall, a very good value.
Targets Areas Well: I have some flexibility (a little) but overall I would consider myself inflexible and this DVD is helping.

My legs are one area I was looking to improve on and this helps. For things I have real issues with the props help. I use a belt for the strap and it helps with the stretches. Good DVD.
Was Not That Impressed: After reading reviews on this DVD, I decided to go ahead and buy it. I wish now that I would not have bought it. In my opinion, this is not a very good yoga DVD. I favor Baron Baptiste and his style, so maybe this is why I do not like this DVD, but I did not like the positions and the instructions.
Yoga instruction: I am really impressed with this Yoga instructional video. It is the best I have seen. It's very easy to follow and there are numerous workout choices, so you can pick the one you like the best. I choose to vary the routine I do from day to day, so as to get some variety. IT also makes it easy to target specific areas to work on.
Very Good To Learn: Perfect pace and instruction if you have little (or no) flexibility.

The instruction is careful and detailed include variations in the instructions in case you need them. Of course as you progress the modifications or use of help, such as large books in case you need extra support, is not needed.

For some things I use some of the modifications still, but for others I do not which is a great feeling. It let's me know I am improving.

It is truly a great DVD for beginners.
