Product Description
One of the great gifts of yoga is improved flexibility. Research has shown that improving flexibility and doing yoga helps you feel younger, healthier and lead a more active life style.

The yoga postures developed thousands of years ago were not created for people who are already flexible, but rather to help inflexible people become more flexible. Yoga videos, even those designed for beginners, may be too difficult for some people that lack flexibility. Essential Yoga for Inflexible People helps anyone, no matter how inflexible, experience all of the amazing physical and mental benefits of yoga.

These proven & effective routines will help anyone increase flexibility and strength while developing a calm, serene mind. Proper form is emphasized through these slower paced, flowing routines. This stunning and beautiful DVD was shot at one of the most majestic, tranquil beaches in the world, Half-Moon Bay, Antigua!

Over 10, easy-to-follow customized routines allow you to progress at your own pace. This special, easy to use system allows you to find the routine that is just right for your needs.
* Modified poses for less flexible people
* Improve strength & range of motion
* Increase energy levels
* Reduce stress
* For beginner and intermediate students The Essential Yoga for Inflexible People Series embraces the absolute best in mind-body learning with 10 easy-to-follow, customized routines from the worlds most renowned teachers.

Veteran instructor Maggie Rhoades gently guides you through these effective practices. We selected the very best routines from Maggie s Inflexible People program to help you on this amazing journey of yoga. Some of these routines use a folding chair, block or book, and belt or strap to modify poses for less flexible people. People that have flexibility issues due to serious medical conditions should work in conjunction with a medical professional and yoga teacher.

5 out of 5 stars Exactly what it says   November 20, 2008
Richard Patino
There are lots of yoga videos out there that I've tried them and couldn't do. I needed something more remedial and this is it. If doing a triangle pose or a downward dog on most beginner tapes is advanced for you, then this is the yoga program for you. Sun Salutation, Bends and Standing poses aided by a chair. Sitting Poses with a chair and other props. This a great program.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect for a real beginner   November 11, 2008

I've been enjoying working with a Pilates DVD from this same instructor and her Yoga program is just as good. I am new to exercise of any kind and other videos I tried were not suited to someone like me. Maggie's techniques and instruction for inflexible/real beginners is so encouraging. I thought I'd have to get into better shape before I could even try yoga.


5 out of 5 stars Good DVD   October 12, 2008

This DVD contains many routines that work well for those of use who are inflexible - it has modifications to help out and uses things, such as chairs, to help out if needed.

There are three main selections, Short Routines (Basics), Short Routines (Some More) and Extended Routines for when you progress further. Routines range from 6 minutes to 90 minutes, with good short routines in the first two sections, 1/2 dozen 6-15 minutes workouts, so they were doable.

This DVD is perfect for me since I am new to yoga and inflexible. I have been using it for awhile now and it has been worthwhile to me.

The instructor does a great job. The chair is a great idea. I've been using this video as part of a rehab program and it's just fantastic. Very well thought out, good instruction, and for someone who is really inflexible, they'll find it easy enough to want to keep with it, but challenging enough that you feel like you are getting something out of it.

I feel like this program was custom designed for me. I've tried a couple yoga videos and a couple classes, but their idea of inflexible was something that I am still not sure I can even work my way up to. With this program I feel like I can actually do it and after only a few weeks I'm already seeing the improvements. If you're good with the modifications on regular beginner videos, this may be too easy. If you've tried those kind and couldn't manage it, get this DVD. It'll be exactly what you're looking for.
