More On Easy Yoga For The Rest Of Us

Yoga for the rest of us is simply easy and effective. I wrote a post about this video five or six months ago and I still think its great. I get bored easily and on this one I just keep stretching myself. If a pose takes 30 seconds, for example, I might hold it for one or two minutes, depending on my own level of strength that day.

There are three parts of the workout video and I usually skip to the standing poses when I'm feeling strong. On a day that my energy is low, I start with the first section which has easy slow exercises for different parts of the body.

Anyone new to yoga stretching, seniors or those with disabilities will like Peggy Cappy's workout, Yoga for the Rest of Us-even if you have never tried yoga or stretching exercises.(watch the video and you will see Peggy's gentle quality).

I can feel my legs, arms and core getting stronger as I continue to use this DVD, about three times a week. Alternately, qigong is my choice on the other days(Lee Holden)

My Mother is 83 and loves it. She has done yoga for 30 years or so and this video gives her ideas to do poses she may not have attempted at her age.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Cappy's yoga session. It was fun and easy to follow. Her choice of participants helped us to feel that we too could perform yoga moves. It's a great way to relax and stretch the muscles

I also first saw Peggy Cappy on PBS, ordered DVD and enjoyed it as much as the PBS presentation .. in fact liked it well enough to order "More of Yoga for the Rest of Us" LOL Yoga is for everyone, and Peggy shows people how to proceed. Good for Seniors or anyone needing a little alternative help.

I am a physical therapist who treats clients that fall into the over 65 age group. A copy of this program was given to me to review from a patient, to see if it would be useful. I have since used it as part of my treatment and made recommendations that it be used as an ongoing home exercise program for several patients. It is modified for those who are less flexible, and perfectly paced for the older population. It is also useful for balance and coordination skills. I tend to use the program for myself on days that I need a little extra exercise and relaxation

My 88-year old mother-in-law uses this tape every day to improve her mobility and muscle tone. She swears by it!!!

Ah, how I have let things go! This is helping to gently start me on the road. Excellent demonstrations, easy to follow, gentle yet effective. If you have been compromised physically or have just been laying on the couch…this is a great beginning. You may think "oh, this is so easy!" you WILL feel it the next day. Simple to do, no special equipment required. I highly recommend!

I ordered this after seeing Peggy on PBS doing yoga with a 97 year old woman. I've got some lung problems and was looking for something low impact that I could do to help build my capacity. The DVD is great and easy to follow. Peggy breaks the session down into three parts of twenty minutes, so you can do an hour or less as your schedule indicates. Best of all, you work from a chair, so this is truly adaptable to any age and fitness level.
