Description:
Yoga For Every Body! In Yoga for the Rest of Us, instructor Peggy Cappy demonstrated that yoga is truly for every body. No matter what age and ability level, Peggy eases students into the world of yoga where everyone benefits in mind, body and spirit. Now, Peggy brings you an all-new series of gentle poses that will become an easy, effective, and enjoyable daily routine. This yoga program can be done with, or without, the aid of a chair -- giving flexibility to the exercises as well as to the student. There's something here for everyone. Join Peggy and her friends of all ages as they expand their yoga repertoire and increase balance, flexibility, and energy! More Yoga for the Rest of Us is presented in three easy-to-do segments: * Part One gives your body a wonderful stretch-benefiting legs, hips, and the back * Part Two is a series of standing poses that increases all-important leg strength and balance * Part Three is a new and different guided relaxation exercise that conveys an integral part of yoga's benefits: reducing stress and quieting the mind Special Bonus Feature: Travel to Peterborough, New Hampshire to meet Peggy Cappy and some of her students, adults of all ages who suffer from a range of ailments and who have benefited greatly from their yoga practice. Peggy's unique approach to yoga has adults finding new energy and flexibility, and feeling better than they dreamed possible.

Instructor Peggy Cappy's More Yoga for the Rest of Us takes up where the first volume (released in 2002) left off, with a gentle, easy-to-follow series of yoga poses recommended for novices, those who are older and less active, or anyone dealing with injuries or recovering from illness. Unlike so many yoga video programs, which emphasize the athletic aspects of the practice (certainly a part of yoga, but hardly the most important part) and feature beautiful young people with perfect bodies, Cappy takes a 'do what you can do' approach, stressing yoga's noncompetitive side and suggesting simply that the more often you try it, the better you're likely to feel; there's no New Age music, no exotic locations or groovy outfits, and the students who demonstrate the poses with her include a couple of senior citizens. The practice itself consists of a series of floor poses (including hamstring and hip openers, twists, and the bridge, a mild backbend), followed by standing stretches, forward bends, the crucial downward-facing dog asana, a couple of reasonably challenging balancing poses like eagle and dancer's, and a lengthy final relaxation. Cappy's instruction is good (although she falls a bit short when it comes to explaining specifically how to use the breath), multiple variations are demonstrated (including many using a chair, which makes them considerably easier), and many poses are repeated. The 20-minute infomercial at the end is basically extraneous, as the virtues of More Yoga for the Rest of Us speak for themselves. --Sam Graham

- So so
There are not many DVDs truly for people over 50 or 70 that are applicable to this population and not just the upper 90%. This was OK, but could have been much better. I am still looking for some that can be followed like an audio tape (good descriptions because in positions you cannot look at a DVD), are at beginner level and slow enough for this population.

I enjoyed Peggy Cappy Yoga on NPTV for many years and now have the convenience of training sessions on call from the CD. Thanks.

- Not as good a follow-on
Being a huge fan of "Yoga for the Rest of Us," I was looking forward to getting the second DVD, but this second DVD largely left me cold. The stretching exercises are not as effective, in my view, and do not appear to work the entire body but focus primarily on the legs and lower back and almost not at all on the neck, shoulders, and arms/wrists. The standing poses are in some instances more challenging, but their explanation and demonstration were not as clear, practiced, or well-thought-out as in the first DVD - some of the students appeared to be doing the poses for the first time without a clear idea of what they were supposed to be doing, and in one instance a standing pose was performed while the camera zoomed in on one student's face (not the most helpful way to convey how to do the pose correctly, especially when the verbal explanation is unclear). The relaxation portion, while good, was not as effective ... Read More
