The yoga postures developed 5,000 years ago were not created for people who are already flexible, but rather to help inflexible people become more flexible. A wide range of poses are taught and modified to help both beginning and intermediate students experience the benefits of yoga. The modifications includes suggestions for the use of props, which can be either actual yoga props or items you have around the home, such as a belt or books, to assist you when you feel you need additional assistance. Of course if you do not need props, you do not have to use any. Customized workouts allow you to progress at your own pace and the DVD contains dozens of routines which designed to carefully guide you along your journey into yoga. When Yoga For Inflexible People was released, the Yoga Journal declared it "One of the most intelligent and useful presentations served up in a long time" and praised it as a DVD "...for all beginning students whether they are inflexible or flexible." Yoga For Inflexible People continued to be commended as the Yoga Journal rated the DVD as one the Top Yoga DVDs ever produced. (December 2006) | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

Does What It SaysJul 01, 2010 Lives up to exactly what the title says and what the Yoga Journal had mentioned - a good choice for those who need help with flexibility and learning yoga. Broken down in easy to follow exercises that fit into my schedule well which makes it easier to find time for myself to do this.
So PerfectJun 11, 2010 I have been using this for a little over three months now and it has been very helpful with the nagging aches and pains that I have had in my shoulders and legs.
The video lets you select what you want to work on and you go from there. The pace and instruction is exactly what I needed to stratch out, which is why I guess the yoga magazines recommended it so highly for those new to yoga and trying to learn.

mysharonnaMay 31, 2010 I bought this DVD based on the reviews. I've practiced yoga & pilates for years, was a massage therapist, and have used a personal trainer. So I have a firm grasp of the importance of technique & posture & form .I have had back problems for years & the greatest pain killer is stretching. But this DVD was not a good choice for me. Additionally it does not have 'flow' of my all time favorite & best back over-body stretch (& pain-reliever)routine: Tami Lee Stretch for Beginners or Miranda Esmonde White's combo Stretch for 'back & thighs' & stretch for 'abs & arms.' In fact this DVD irritated my back. I shelved it & recently tried it again causing the same flare-up in my back. It may just be my particular situation (Had L5-S1 microdicsectomy 10 years ago I am 57 yrs old). But I have no use for it.

not a good format for learning yogaMay 27, 2010 I borrowed this disc from netflix to see if I could entice my un-flexible husband to give yoga a try. Unfortunately, I find the format of the dvd to be entirely off-putting. Like other reviewers, I was thrown off by the way they separately recorded each pose and then cut and pasted clips together to form a routine. It's really bad for beginners if you don't show how to get into the poses the proper way.
I also found the music and the instructor's music kind of annoying. The format and pacing were terrible.
I think the only reason this one sells so much is that they got the good title.
Flexible DVD & MeMay 15, 2010 Very non-intimidating and accessible yoga that helped me alot so far. I now no longer consider myself so inflexible as to be beyond hope, and in fact think of myself as a greater amount of movement and making improvements weekly. Whether you are looking to increase over all flexibility or problem areas, there should be something on here to help since it covers all of the body and also specific trouble areas.
