Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 I have Rodney Yee's " Yoga AM/PM for Beginners " . It is a 2 tape box set that I got at Wal Mart for 14.95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 , Glad I could provide the " nudge " !! LOL Honestly, it has done wonders for me in how I feel about myself and my body...it just feels " right " to me. Now my 77 yr old Mom (who lives with us) wants to try to do the tapes with me! I think it would be great for her circulation and balance. I bought a foam mat that is made to go under a sleeping bag to use as my yoga mat and I bought one of those swimming " noodles " and cut it into various lengths to use as " blocks " for poses that I can't quite reach and need a little extra support to hold and maintain the position. I wish I had known about yoga when I was in hyper-hell, I think it would have helped calm me down. Namaste, Doris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Namaste K9! Your enthusiasm is just what I need to hear to prod me to get the old practice up and running again. You sound just like me when I am talking about yoga! It is wonderfully unifying for body mind and spirit. I love the relaxation pose and the opportunity to clear one's head. Also a great time for healing imagery and thoughts. My practice and peace was shattered when about 2 years ago when my daughter returned here to live with me. She is suffering from intense rages, and since her husband is out of the picture, they are always focused at me. I am just now figuring out that she has probably got GD, as do I. Anyway, I let that disrupt me to the point that I let the yoga practice go. Probably when I needed it most, too. She is still here but i need to recreate the mind it takes for me to have that in my life. Have you tried any of Rodney Yee's tapes? Great! Their whole series of tapes is great. I wish there was more on the relaxation pose, but they do have a bit. Especially the Relatation tape with Walden. He also has audio tapes for breathing, which he says are about 1/3 of his yoga practice. And did anyone catch him on Oprah the other day? Thanks for the nudge!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 Doris, Yes, It is good for hyperactivity of any kind! I am glad your Mom is interested. Have you got the catalogue from Living Arts? They have lots of different kinds of tapes, and maybe something just right for your Mom. I tried to get my Mom (79) interested but no luck. On the beginning of your yoga tape there is a phone number. You can get a free catalogue. I would recommend that you do. They also have a groovy magazine, Yoga Journal. > , > Glad I could provide the " nudge " !!

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2001 Report Share Posted April 22, 2001 Thanks Doris, I have really been sluffing the last few weeks and needed that motivation...Dividing my workout into two session should make it more feasible with my weird schedule.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2001 Report Share Posted April 22, 2001 http://www.gaiam.com/gai_catalogRequest.process Dear Jody, The above is from the page online for ordering the catalogue from Living Arts, the guys with the best yoga tapes. I think you can order online, too if you want. This page has more than one catalogue offered. You want the Living Arts one. May I suggest Walden's Yoga for Beginners? She is very good and the tape teaches a lot of poses! Good luck! Namaste, > , > What is the name of your Yoga tape(s) and who does them.

Glad I could be of service Elaine, as you're articles have helped me many times! When my initial enthusiasm wears off you and can repay me by giving me a swift kick in the rear back to my yoga mat!!
