At last, a yoga for me1
I am a heavyweight woman who just turned 50, and I've wanted to learn yoga for years. After trying to learn on my own, then trying to take a Bihkram yoga class and failing at both, I thought I'd have to give up. Then I heard about this DVD, and thought I'd give it one more try. This DVD understands my unique needs, says yes you can, and here's how. I suggest watching all of the instructional segments first, otherwise some of the details like fan folding the blanket for starting the warmups will be missed. The verbal instructions are thorough, but I'd encourage watching the long session entirely before attempting to do it. That makes it easier when the DVD is hard to see because of the position we're in. Abby doesn't move too quickly, and although it's challenging to hold some of the poses at first she encourages us to be as kind to ourselves as she is to us. It's an awesome DVD.
