Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga Single Chair Yoga Vol 1
This DVD contains two Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga classes, each based on yoga postures and breathing techniques as well as other Eastern and Western health practices. These classes are performed entirely on a chair, so regardless of your age or your fitness level, you derive all the health benefits.
Lakshmi employs two techniques in her DVD that make it easy to follow and accessible to a broad audience.
First, she presents each class in two formats. One format is the Step-By-Step Instruction which guides you in detail so you can master the how and the why of each class. The other format is the Regular Routine which guides you using fewer words so you can perform each class easily and effortlessly.
Second, she takes into account the fact that everyone has a different level of flexibility (range of motion). You may even have varying flexibility between your upper and lower body and your right and left sides. Lakshmi demonstrates how to vary movements so you can adapt them to your level of flexibility that day.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Yoga teacher recommends this DVD
I am a Kripalu certified yoga teacher. I also did Lakshmi’s chair yoga teacher training at Kripalu. I was looking for something to recommend to one of my yoga students, a paraplegic, when I bought this DVD. This DVD would be perfect for anyone in a wheelchair or with limited mobility. Lakshmi includes an instructional section that breaks down each pose with great detail, and then a shorter version of the class without the instructional detail. Her delightful personality shines through and the class feels wonderful. She includes two classes, one is an energizing series and one is a balancing series. There is also a relaxation track. I have Lakshmi’s audio CD, but I like this DVD much better. The DVD is much easier to follow because of the visual queues. It appears to be recorded in her home which is decorated nicely with greens and purples, adding to the sense of calm one feels viewing the DVD.
5 Stars A Great Gentle Intro to Yoga
I would highly recommend this video for those who need a more gentle form of asana. Lakshmi is thorough in explaining each pose and compassionate in her delivery. This is great for anyone rehabilitating or in a wheel chair as well as for those who do not have as much mobility as the average person.
5 Stars a great product
A great Product. I got it for my Dad who is suffering from RH & found that it helped his condition. He regained mobility and flexability not to mention his mental well being.
In fact it worked so well I bought my own to do in the office to relieve stress and all the health problems associated with being a pencil pusher.
