Yoga for body movement only;

I have done several yoga tapes over the years and this is definitely the most basic, but that's not all bad. Peggy Cappy is not coming from a "new-agey" perspective of "mind-body-spirit" [That in itself will cause many to dismiss her]. There's not even music as background. However, if what you are looking for is a way to increase flexibility, balance, and general well-being, this will help.

The DVD features ordinary people - not models or people who can tie themselves in knots. Quite the opposite, the "Meet Peggy Cappy" section interviews older individuals with all the problems of aging. And, if you are younger - don't let this be a turn off. These people are an inspiration. {Most yoga, pilates, or aerobic videos feature perky, healthy, good-looking bodies which can just plain be disgusting when you know those days have passed and you're just attempting to stay in the same jeans size.)

This isn't going to make you sweat and if you are into a real fitness program, you will definitely need more than this. Yet, there are some real beneficial aspects to this as well. The focus on breathing is very good as are the foot and wrist exercises, things that are often missed in other fitness videos. I'm not disappointed that I purchased this; I will not use it on a daily basis, but when I am overtired or just want to take a break, this will be good.

If you are brand new to yoga, out of shape, or dealing with an injury, this video would be a great introduction. It is encouraging, safe, and motivating. It's certainly better than doing nothing.

Good way to try yoga

Having never tried yoga, and being neither overly flexible nor a "New Age" person, I was a little skeptical about it. But stretching and balance are an important part of any fitness regimen, and yoga is the best way to do both as well as to relax, so when I saw this DVD, aimed at people who are not already proficient at yoga or physically fit, I thought I would give it a try. I have really enjoyed it, and it has been a very pleasant surprise. The 15-20 minutes of stretching at the beginning are simple but consistently effective. The standing poses offer a lot of variations depending on your individual strengths and abilities, and all of the poses and variations are presented in an encouraging, egalitarian, non-judgmental manner. The sun salutations, while accessible even for inflexible me, are surprisingly demanding in terms of endurance. The last surprise for me was how effective the relaxation section is, coming right after the sun salutations. I do this DVD at the end of the day and find it really helps me sleep well at night and face the stresses of the morning in a calm and comfortable way. I miss these exercises if I don't get to do them for a few days, and I don't get bored hearing the DVD repeatedly (as I had feared I might - although I am getting the second DVD in the series, just in case!). While this DVD isn't "high-tech" yoga with background music, lithe performers, gorgeous scenery, or all the technically correct yoga terms, it does meet people where they are - in their own homes, with something less than a perfect body or complete grasp of all that is yoga - and invite them to try more. It makes yoga more inclusive than it might otherwise seem, and if it inspires people who otherwise would shy away from any form of exercise, then I'm all for it.

Yoga for the Rest of Us

This is pretty good. I would probably like it more if I actually took the time every day to use it. But it was very easy to follow. I felt really good after doing the workout.

Excellent yoga DVD

I love Peggy Cappy's yoga DVDs. Yoga for the Rest of us and More Yoga for the Rest of Us are both excellent for seniors, as well as beginners of any age. Peggy teaches calmly and carefully. She shows alternative movements for people who need accomodating. She does chair yoga, as well as standing poses. Her DVDs are the best.
