Interview with Instructor

Filmed at Half-Moon Bay, Antigua

Yoga instructor Barbara Benagh has practiced and taught yoga for nearly 35 years. She discovered yoga while living in England and began teaching there. She moved to Boston and opened The Yoga Studio on Beacon Hill in 1980.

In addition to her local classes Barbara teaches yoga seminars throughout the US and internationally. She is a regular contributor of articles to Yoga Journal magazine. She has several audio CDs of live classes available as well as DVDs, the latest being Yoga for Beginners released by Body + Soul magazine, and Yoga for Stress Relief that includes a discussion on meditation from the Dalai Lama.

Barbara was kind enough to answer some questions from Amazon.com about this unique line of yoga DVDs.

How are these DVDs different from other yoga DVDs?

I was drawn to working with Bodywisdommedia because they produce DVDs they are interactive. Rather than a "one size fits all" single routine that is typical of most products, these DVDs offer choice, allowing the user to customize and change their yoga practice to suit their needs. No two persons are the same so the ability to change your practice - easing shoulder tension one day and an invigorating morning wake up the next - come as close as possible to allowing you to address your individual needs at home. Not only do people have different physical needs, but they have different time constraints as well. If you have only 20 minutes, there is a practice for you but there are longer practices as well (some as long as 90 minutes) that address the total body/mind connection. The sheer number of yoga sequences offered on each of these DVDs is a first. They are incredibly comprehensive.

How were you able to get the Dalai Lama involved?

This project dovetailed perfectly with the Dalai Lama's message that modern stress is one of the greatest obstacles to our mental happiness and physical wellbeing. Because we are long-time sincere practitioners, having a 30-minute lecture of the Dalai Lama teaching how to meditate on the Yoga for Stress Relief DVD was a perfect fit. Bodywisdommedia also has a broader relationship with the Office of Tibet and are releasing historic lectures with "A Path to Happiness" being the first one.

How will potential buyers of these DVDs know which one is right for them?

The titles are very indicative of what appears on the DVD and therefore a good guide. I really enjoyed making Yoga for Stress Relief because it is incredibly relevant. We strove to make the sequences accessible to as many people as possible, whether they are a beginner or long time practitioner. Yoga for Beginners is a great, non-threatening place to get started and includes lots of sound technique developed over my 30 years as a yoga teacher. Power Yoga for Every Body is a bit more challenging taking you from the beginning level and gradually progressing to much more demanding routines.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is each workout
Answer:	I have to admit it's primarily for the upper body. For me it at least works the abdomen better than the legs. The additional video has other exercises specifically for the abdomen. I haven't used that video much yet.
Question:	Is this the beachbody piyo videos
Answer:	While I feel it is primarily suited for upper body toning and conditioning, it may be adaptable to do exercises for the thighs.

Product description

Senior bodies are not all the same! Physical abilities can vary widely from one person to another, and even from day to day. This DVD has 3 complete yoga practices to meet the varying needs of people over 70. Level 1 (26 minutes) is done all seated in a chair, and emphasizes gentle movements to improve strength, range-of-motion, joint health, and posture, and works the body as fully as possible while sitting in a chair. Level 2 (40 minutes) alternates sitting in a chair, with standing alongside and holding onto a chair for stability. Level 2 works on developing strength and flexibility evenly throughout the entire body, and includes many easy movements to improve balance and increase foot, ankle and leg strength. Level 3 (55 minutes) also alternates sitting in a chair with standing, but is an overall stronger and longer practice than level 2, with more time spent on the standing and balancing poses. Level 3 is broken down into 6 shorter segments for greater choice. The goal of this DVD is to help seniors live fuller, more independent lives. Special emphasis is placed on working the muscles and joints most needed in everyday life and to prevent falls. All 3 practices emphasize good posture, full deep breathing, and end with a short relaxation and meditation for a more alert and relaxed body and mind. Filmed in the beautiful Bibler Gardens. Designed and taught by Jane Adams, RYT 500, a yoga practitioner since 1976 who specializes in yoga for healthy ageing.

Gentle Groovy Yoga is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT way to do Yoga!

Did you know that even though Yoga has some truly amazing benefits, like flexibility, stamina, balance, strength, etc., many people have never tried it?

While there are a lot of reasons that people are intimidated to try yoga (like they think it's too complicated, or they think they're not flexible enough)...the number 1 reason people don't try yoga is that they think they're too out of shape to start.

Look, I get it. I’ve been doing yoga for nearly 20 years and even I find some regular yoga workouts too hard to follow. However, as I’ve focused on the core yoga principles, I’ve experienced so many physical and mental benefits. And I want you to experience these benefits from yoga, too.

That’s why I created my own yoga inspired workout that’s perfect for anyone who wants to try yoga but doesn’t know how to start.

With my Gentle Groovy Yoga, you don't need any experience, flexibility, great balance, or special clothes. And most importantly, it's great for any fitness level.

Workout #2

Gentle Groovy Pilates puts strength and flexibility easily within reach!

There's no question that Pilates workouts can help get your body get strong and flexible. But ordinary Pilates workouts are hard to follow, even for experienced experts.

So I've brought the Body Groove workout philisophy to Pilates, and created short workout videos that are easily adapted for any fitness level.

In everything we do, whether it's free-form dance or a Pilates floor routine, Body Groove is about LISTENING to your body and moving accordingly.

What makes Gentle Groovy Pilates so powerful is that we use time-tested Pilates methods of focused muscle control to actually listen to our bodies even more effectively.

The benefits of this focused style of exercise are...Balance. Stability. Strength. Coordination. Flexibility...all the things that so easily slip away as we get older.

Lie on the floor and get stronger at the same time! Great for the back muscles.

Question:	Is this a quiet workout
Answer:	I bought the black but it's 52% cotton 45% polyester 1% lucrative 2% other fibers
Question:	Can this be used for a beginner
Answer:	Anything but these no quality socks would be better
Question:	What is the difference between this set and the Beachbody version besides the price
Answer:	Though I have only worn a couple of pairs of these socks - so far - they seem to be fairly breathable, meaning my feet don't sweat as much as with other socks when I wear my tennis shoes and am active.
Question:	how many minutes is the piyo tape per day
Answer:	These socks are made in China. Not 80% cotton as described. This is a bait and switch item, and the customer should be aware of incorrect information in description. 52% Cotton, 45% polyester. Your feet will sweat with these, guaranteed.
