Gaiam Yoga Club – A Second Review

After spending some time with the Gaiam Yoga Club, here are a few second thoughts on it. I was impressed with it when I first tried out the program, and I still think it is a good way to learn yoga.
The club is definitely something you’ll need to commit time and attention to if [...]

Yoga Journal’s Yoga for Stress With Dr. Baxter Bell

I discovered that Blockbuster has some yoga videos to rent online. The selection is pretty thin but I managed to find Yoga Journal’s Yoga for Stress With Dr. Baxter Bell.
You might think from the cover (an attractive blond woman) that Dr. Bell is a woman, but no. Dr. Bell is a guy, and there [...]

Yoga Zone – Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back

I don’t have back problems but I love doing yoga that makes my back feel good. I was thus quite interested in Yoga Zone’s Yoga for a Strong and Healthy Back DVD.
The DVD offers two separate 20 minute workouts that you can also do back to back. One uses a female instructor, the other, a [...]

Getting Started With Gaiam Yoga Club

I have to admit I am not a huge fan of a lot of Gaiam videos…I do think they have gotten better in recent years, but the ones I had in the 90s (more the Living Arts era) were so serious. Gaiam Yoga Club is Rodney Yee’s online yoga course (with his wife Colleen Saidman) [...]

Yoga DVDs Getting Artificial Ratings on Amazon?

I was searching through some yoga DVDs on Amazon recently, and I was shocked to see that the DVD I dubbed “The Worst Yoga Video Ever” had a rating of almost five stars! How could that possibly be?
I know that my opinion is just mine, and that not everyone will feel the same way I [...]

Kundalini Yoga for Beginners and Beyond

Well, this has to win my Worst Yoga Video Ever Eward, hands down! Kundalini Yoga for Beginners and Beyond by Ravi Singh and Ana Brett is more of a Target commercial and MTV video than a yoga class.
You know, my first clue was the midriff-baring woman on the front cover. I realize that short shorts [...]

Maria Theresia & Roberto’s Yoga Therapy

I would have never heard of these folks if it hadn’t been for Bookins, and it just goes to show you that there are yoga gems to be found outside the corporate offices of Gaiam. I am very selective about my yoga DVDs, and I find that most of the mainstream ones offered just don’t [...]

Cork Yoga Blocks!

Yesterday I got my first yoga blocks – cork blocks from Hugger Mugger. I don’t know why I didn’t have blocks before…I certainly could have used them…and these cork blocks are fantastic. They are a bit soft to the touch but very, very sturdy, and apparently eco-friendly. They are a bit heavy, so not something [...]

Oxygen TV’s Inhale Yoga

If your cable company carries the Oxygen network, then you’ll be able to get your yoga groove on with Steve Ross and his Inhale Yoga. It’s hip, it’s happening, it’s ahhh…Inhale. Actually, as far as yoga TV shows go, Inhale is a good one. It’s not dated and cloying like Lilias, and it is [...]
