Yoga isn't just for people who are already supple--it's a way to becomemore flexible. Yoga for Inflexible People presents modifications andprops to make traditional poses accessible to people who could not otherwiseperform them comfortably or correctly. You get more than 35 workouts and aboutfour hours of instruction and practice in all. Choose a general workout, focuson an area of the body (shoulders, legs, hips, and back), or select a peacefulor energizing workout. Within each category, you have a choice of severaldifferent 15- to 75-minute series (some seated), much more variety than mostvideos offer. Some of the poses are beginning level; others are not. Leader JudiRice demonstrates well, instructing by voice-over, though her expressionlessface lacks warmth and personality. You'll need a yoga mat, blocks (or largebooks), a long strap or belt, a chair, and blankets. --Joan Price

Rating: - Flex Help
I have felt better using this now for the last 6 months and it has helped me be able to stretch a bit more.

As I have now started my mid 30s, the aches and pains that come along have been lessened or gone (some areas worked a bit more quickly for me, others took a bit more) so appreciate it.

Rating: - Inflexible???
There is no introduction, and the routines I tried to follow offered no alternatives for those who might not find them easy to do. In other words, if you are truly inflexible I have no idea how this DVD could help you. This DVD might be useful for an average person with no limitations who just wants to be able to choose routines.
