Good Yoga Practice for Beginners January 31, 2009
Jess P. (Arlington, MA)
Yoga for WImps is one of the best Yoga DVDs I've seen for beginners. It show the traditional yoga moves as well as modifications. In addition, the speed is very good. You actually have time to focus on the pose and correct your form if necessary. The modifications for the poses are also clearly explained and shown. Most yoga DVDs I would do only once because I couldn't follow it or do all the poses. With Yoga for Wimps, I am able to do all of the poses and go through the entire practice.
Very good if you know nothing about yoga April 17, 2008

This is a truly basic, beginner-level introduction to yoga. The instructor does the poses normally and has a modifier using props, such as a chair, a towel, and a pillow, to show you (us) how to do an easier version until you can develop strength or flexibility to do the pose without these props.
I like yoga just for the athletic or exercise aspect of it and this DVD delivers. It focuses primarily on the physical part of it.
My slight critiques:
* I think the setting could be a little less bright and the music more relaxing. I found the music a bit jarring
* Also, I think the instructor doesn't need to talk so much through it. I was thinking about how much her throat must've hurt after all that talking. Something she says almost every other minute is "If you're following , you'll need to do blah blah blah..." But since Jane is right there, prominently seen on a platform, I know if I'm following her that I need to lean on my chair, etc. My point is the instructor really does a fantastic job of making newcomers feel welcome and walking them through it. But it's not necessary to describe every move the modifier is making. That's why Jane's there, so I can follow her without constant explanations.
Other than that, this is a great DVD and I plan on using it frequently. It's a thorough, challenging (to me) yoga workout.

I borrowed this DVD from my library and once I tried it, I knew I had to have a copy for myself. Annika, the yoga instructor, makes yoga fun and enjoyable. It's very easy to follow and her assistant demonstrates ways to make the poses even simpler for the "yoga challenged." I highly recommend it!

Well done and a great introduction to yoga, but it is truly for the wimpiest of the wimps. If you are in any kind of shape at all you might want to consider something a little more strenuous.
 It is not just for Wimps! January 9, 2007

The dvd was very helpful and I still use it on a regular basis. She does not take for granted you know anything about yoga and speaks in english. She is very clear and fun to listen to. I also have the Pilates for Wimps and love it as well!
This is great for anyone trying Yoga for the first time and is unsure if they can do it! I recommend it whole heartedly!!!!
