Product Description

Yoga instructor Barbara Benagh has practiced and taught yoga for nearly 35 years. She discovered yoga while living in England and began teaching there.

How are these DVDs different from other yoga DVDs?

I was drawn to working with bodywisdom media because they produce DVDs they are interactive. Rather than a "one size fits all" single routine that is typical of most products, these DVDs offer choice, allowing the user to customize and change their yoga practice to suit their needs. No two persons are the same so the ability to change your practice - easing shoulder tension one day and an invigorating morning wake up the next - come as close as possible to allowing you to address your individual needs at home. Not only do people have different physical needs, but they have different time constraints as well. If you have only 20 minutes, there is a practice for you but there are longer practices as well (some as long as 90 minutes) that address the total body/mind connection. The sheer number of yoga sequences offered on each of these DVDs is a first. They are incredibly comprehensive.

How were you able to get the Dalai Lama involved?

This project dovetailed perfectly with the Dalai Lama's message that modern stress is one of the greatest obstacles to our mental happiness and physical wellbeing. Because we are long-time sincere practitioners, having a 30-minute lecture of the Dalai Lama teaching how to meditate on the Yoga for Stress Relief DVD was a perfect fit. bodywisdom media also has a broader relationship with the Office of Tibet and are releasing historic lectures with "A Path to Happiness" being the first one.

Review

One of the most intelligent and insightful teachers around. --Yoga Journal

Yoga instructor Barbara Benagh has practiced and taught yoga for nearly 35 years. She discovered yoga after moving to England and began teaching. She is a regular contributor of articles to Yoga Journal magazine. She has several audio CDs of live classes available as well as DVDs, the latest being AM/PM Yoga for Beginners and Yoga for Stress Relief that both include a discussion with the Dalai Lama. How are these DVDs different from other yoga DVDs? I was drawn to working with Bodywisdommedia because they produce DVDs they are interactive. Rather than a one size fits all single routine that is typical of most products, these DVDs offer choice, allowing the user to customize and change their yoga practice to suit their needs. No two persons are the same so the ability to change your practice - easing shoulder tension one day and an invigorating morning wake up the next - come as close as possible to allowing you to address your individual needs at home. Not only do people have different physical needs, but they have different time constraints as well. If you have only 20 minutes, there is a practice for you but there are longer practices as well (some as long as 90 minutes) that address the total body/mind connection. The sheer number of yoga sequences offered on each of these DVDs is a first. They are incredibly comprehensive. I really enjoyed making Yoga for Stress Relief because it is incredibly relevant. We strove to make the sequences accessible to as many people as possible, whether they are a beginner or long time practitioner. How were you able to get the Dalai Lama involved? This project dovetailed perfectly with the Dalai Lama's message that modern stress is one of the greatest obstacles to our mental happiness and physical wellbeing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Need stress relief? Try this DVD!!, 15 Jun 2009
This review is from: Yoga For Stress Relief [DVD] (DVD)
I bought this dvd to deal with recently diagnosed anxiety. There is actually a segment on anxiety, which is wonderful. Like some of the other reviewers, I am an atheltic person (triathlon and skiing mainly) and it took me some time to agree to try something different to calm my mind and my body. Now I find myself doing the breathing exercises while at my desk at work or when I start to feel anxious in crowded places.

This dvd provides a wide variety of exercise options ranging from starting and ending your day to targeting specific problem zones (like neck and shoulders), and much more. Each program has a clear time duration so you can choose based on your schedule.

The exercises are very well explained and demonstrated - and none of them are rushed. The calm sea background is a nice touch.

This dvd teaches relaxing breathing exercises that can be used anytime during the day. Works well for anxiety, panic, stress and sore muscles.

It was my first yoga dvd, I am still a beginner at yoga - works perfectly for my level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can help you through the day, 23 Jan 2009
This review is from: Yoga For Stress Relief [DVD] (DVD)
I'm new to yoga and really enjoy using this dvd, both to relax and improve my flexibility. It is easy to listen to and follow, and is good value for money because of all the diffent sessions available via the menu. There are lots of breathing exercises that you can learn and use during the day in times of stress, so I would recommend it for anyone who needs something to help them reduce anxiety whilst at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars the 'joy is in the journey', 29 Mar 2009
This review is from: Yoga For Stress Relief [DVD] (DVD)
Having a big gap since I last practised yoga it has been difficult to find a DVD that doesn't assume that you're really flexible. This one is becoming a firm favourite for the emphasis on stress relief but still making postures demanding but not ridiculous. The interactive DVD means that you can select easily the workout to suit your time or the area you wish to work on. I recommend this DVD for those not in their first flush of youth.
