both invigorating and relaxing
This is very well done. The educational version of the routine is explicit in instruction, and also applies the stretches and exercises to daily life and the movement it entails. Although the bios and humor are sometines a bit much, they are done in a sincere and inoffensive manner, and in fact, simply allow the user to proceed at a gentle pace, and gain the full benefit of the work. Once viewed, it is easy to make the transition to the routine sans extras. By the time you have completed the routine, you will feel vey relaxed, but physically comfortable, energized, ready to do whatever the day calls for. Both instructors advise the user to make choices, follow their own body's guidance, and I found this to be very encouraging, and effective as well. It's a good addition to any yoga library.

A good video for strengthening your back.
I really liked the fact that the first video goes through each stretch slowly and carefully. After you get the hang of it, you can do the second video, a faster version of the same. I find in other videos or Yoga books, I am unfamiliar with the stretches and I fear I am doing them wrong. Here, you can master the stretch before zipping through the 30 min. second tape. A great buy for any beginner.
