Athletes can build flexibility and strength for their sports by cross-training with a targeted yoga workout. Yoga for Athletes presents 12 different customized yoga sessions ranging from 20 to 60 minutes for each of 16 sports: baseball, basketball, cycling, football, golf, hiking, kayaking, martial arts, rock climbing, running, skiing, soccer, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and weight lifting. Choose your sport, then select from a dozen yoga workouts emphasizing certain muscle groups (such as hips, shoulders, legs) or skills (balance, twisting, strength).

Instruction is slow and detailed enough for beginners to learn the poses. Instructor Barbara Benagh, an avid road cyclist and an advanced yoga practitioner with more than 25 years of teaching experience, uses voice-over to explain carefully how to do each pose. Jason Gordon, an advanced practitioner, demonstrates the poses clearly. --Joan Price

Rating: - Don't waste your money
I can't believe how bad this video is! Don't buy it! This isn't a dvd for athletes, it's a dvd for someone who is spastic and mentally impaired. Black screens divide every single pose which takes forever to get to each one, and then you have to stand there through this ridiculous monstrosity of a dvd to get to the next pose. Not only does it NOT provide a workout but it's more like YOGA FOR DUMMIES.

THIS DVD IS AN INSULT TO MARKET IT TOWARDS ATHLETES.
Rating: - Great For My Sports
I have been working on the events in the triathlon for awhile, swimming, running and cycling, and was looking for somethings to help with my training.

Found this was recommended a few years back in some running and cycling magazines so I went for it.

The wide range of selections for my three sports has fit in very well with my training and I do feel better and have seen improvements otherwise.

A good pick-up to add to the other things, easy to work with.
Rating: - get your practice going
This DVD from accomplished yoga teacher Barbara Benagh is just the thing to get you going with your yoga practice. I started using Barbara's series of yoga sessions awhile ago now and have enjoyed them tremendously. She seems to set just the right pace, taking time to explore the positions, and also pushing you to new awarenesses. There is so much variety on this DVD that you never seem to be repeating the same sequence over and over as you do on tapes that have only one or two classes. I recommend ... Read More

Rating: - Very useful!
This is my first venture into yoga. While all the movements look simple to the untrained beginner, I am amazed how vigerously trained my body feels afterward.

The model moves with grace and effortless that is encouraging and inspiring. The voice-over intstructions are clear and helpful.

While I will never be skilled at yoga, this CD makes every Saturday morning (my yoga time) a wonderful and postive experience.
