Yoga for Seniors with Jane Adams (2nd edition): Improve Balance, Strength & Flexibility with Gentle Senior Yoga, now with 3 complete practices.

I haven't done yoga for years and don't have a great sense of balance although I went to balance classes for years and am much improved. This DVD has three segments of escalating difficulty but you can hold onto a chair when needed which helps. There are other yoga for seniors dvds but this one was well reviewed and I agree. I plan to keep using it for a long time. The scenery is also therapeutic. I'm 73 and highly recommend this DVD.

For less than $20 I received a well produced quality Chair Yoga program that is wonderful to use and easy to follow. Jane narrates the exercise activities off camera so she does not need to talk while she demonstrates throughout each program. Therefore you can easily follow along without the distraction of her needing to talk while performing the routines.There is nothing that would prevent me from giving this wonderful Chair Yoga anything but 5 stars.

This really makes yoga easier for older people

If you're looking for a way to improve your fitness or that of a parent or grandparent, I can't think of a better place to start. I've no experience with the shorter, completely seated workout on this DVD. Last year, I purchased the first edition which has one work out very similar to the middle one here on the second edition. The third workout is more difficult--we plan to work our way through this eventually, but for my 85 year old mother it was a little too much so we went back to the more modest middle workout.Key differences between the first and second edition's middle workout: The sound is set louder on the first edition. If you're using headphones that aren't always loud enough, the first edition could be better. The second edition shows multiple camera angles, so you can better see what you're meant to do. Ms Adams has modified this workout a little bit. In the end it's four minutes longer. You might think 36-40 minutes is a long time and worry it'll become tedious, like I did. After doing it for a few months, my mother still looks forward to it every day and it still surprises us both how quickly it goes by.My mother's posture, back pain, balance and endurance have improved. Between them, my parents have had years of professional physical therapy (both in-home and at rehab facility) and I've never seen a significant improvement like this. Unfortunately, we had a bit of a set-back last month where her knee was hurt (considerable pain for a few weeks but nothing fractured, broken or torn). Now we're quickly getting back to where she'd been--I credit this workout (which she still wanted to do despite the pain) for the speedy recovery, perhaps preventing a worse injury.The middle workout is the perfect gentle, yet serious nudge toward better health and fitness my mom needed. You or yours won't do every exercise with effortless perfection. It might take weeks to work through the whole workout, as it did for us. And if this becomes too little of a challenge, the third workout (which we've only tried once, not quite making it halfway) looks fantastic too.I thought so highly of the first edition that buying the second edition for Seniors, then another Jane Adams DVD for me was a no-brainer. Nothing is for everyone, but I'll bet this comes closer to disproving that than anything else. The value is far greater than anything I've bought in this millennium.

I am 81 with a variety of ailments that make it hard for me to exercise. This easy to follow gentle yoga program is wonderful. The instructor, Jane Adams, has a very relaxing manner. The movements are well described and are slow enough to follow. I like that there are different exercise levels offered. Have done 1 & 2. Look forward to level 3. I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks & already feel a positive difference in my strength & balance. I occasionally alternate this DVD with “Stronger Seniors Workout Program” with Anne Pringle Burnell, also avail on Amazon. Gives me a little variety. Like both.

Easy for seniors to use and understand

Buyers should know seller takes a $7.98 restocking fee if unhappy with their purchase! That may be upsetting for those on fixed incomes! This dvd was just not right for my yoga practice. The setting is lovely though.
