Yoga Journals Beginning Yoga Step by Step Session 1 3 3 DVD Set
Specially-priced 3-DVD set!
SESSION 1 - Foundation Poses for Strength & Stamina
Learn the standing poses that form the foundation of a complete yoga practice. Get expert instruction on Sun Salutation, a flowing sequence of poses with forward bends and gentle backbends that take you through a full range of motion. And understand how breathwork can help you balance your effort with a calm and quiet mind. Featuring acclaimed yoga teacher Natasha Rizopoulos.
SESSION 2 - Bending and Twisting Poses for Flexibility
Enhance your flexibility, lift your spirit, and brighten your mood with this series of bends and twists. Backbends bring energy to the body, while forward bends and twists calm the nervous system. As the poses help you become more flexible on your mat, so too will they help you become more flexible in facing your daily life.
SESSION 3 - Balancing Poses for Focus & Energy
Develop focus and energy through a sequence of inversions and arm balances. Although these poses can be challenging, Natasha shows you how to attain positions that you might not currently think are possible — and she shows you how to do so safely. When you are upside-down, you’ll not only receive the health benefits of reversing the flow of gravity, you’ll see the world in a whole new way.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great instruction for beginners.
I especially like how this dvd shows you common mistakes that students often make, and then goes on to show you how to fix them. These dvds give you several options as well. Great to use before you actually take a class. TAMARA’S YOGA FUSION
4 Stars Good details but short practice
In my opinion these DVD’s provide excellent descriptions and demonstrations of each pose which is a great help to anyone practicing at home and needing a little guidance. The guidance provided is really clear and easy to understand.
For a newcomer I do not think that they are a substitute for the guidance of a real live tutor but once you have some experience they are great as a reminder of how you should be working in a pose.
Personally I find the actual workout time of 20 minutes is really a little short and would be better at 30 or even 45 minutes. However, I bought them specifically for the detailed pose overviews.
5 Stars Nice
Perfect 20 minute routines that are easy to do in the AM. Good instruction and the ability to track with Jason who is a little less flexible.
4 Stars beginning yoga
Iam 72 years old and have done some yoga. The program I ordered is absolutely wonderful. This gal is very good at explaining procedure. The program she offers is very easy to follow. Like I said, Iam 72 and I can follow her to a T. I would recommend this beginning yoga program to anyone.
5 Stars excellent
As someone fairly inexperienced with yoga I find this trio of dvds fabulous. I am still at the first one and have plenty to learn but Natasha’s voice is soothing and her instructions clear and easy to follow. I am enjoying these dvds greatly.
