Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent!
This dvd has been very helpful in relieving tension in the muscles. Your whole body is stretched and you do feel beneficial relief. The setting for these exercises is very beautiful and calming. The yoga Master is excellent.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Helpful
This is an excellent DVD, it has really helped me with anxiety relief and insomnia. The instructor talks you through the poses and she lets you breath at your own pace instead of making you feel like you have to do a certain style of yoga breathing. This is a good DVD to use before bedtime.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good yoga RX for mental and physical ailments
A few days ago I got my DVD order for Barbara Benagh: Yoga for Stress Relief.

The DVD shows the same lovely beach in Half Moon Bay as in her Beginners Yoga DVD, but in this one, there is also very soft, gentle guitar in the background. You can barely hear it and it does not drown out the sound of the waves. So that is nicely done.

Barbara also has a rather longish interview where she talks about modern life being overloaded, and how yoga will help slow things down. And about how hard it is to slow down at first. Tell me about it! :)

The interview on meditation by the Dalai Lama contains great information and HH's soft, gentle humor. It is hard at times to understand what he is saying and one requires a slight bit of patience to understand some of this section.

This DVD has such a wealth of options in it, and all for helping with mental and physical conditions: headaches, shoulder/neck tension, opening your heart, digestive ailments, lower back pain, hip pain, anxiety, some AM and PM routines, an insomnia set, mood uplift, serenity work...

So far I tried these sections:

Easing Neck Tension, passive variation (20 mins) - Soft Spanish guitar music, everything lying down, mainly body twisting. Very sweet and restful.

Restorative Poses for Relaxation (15 mins) - soft new Agey music, three supportive poses: cobblers, heart opener and legs up the wall. Pretty much the same set as on Barbara's Yoga for Beginners DVD ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Relaxing and Beneficial
I enjoyed this DVD a great deal. Perfect to help with various ailments that we get from stress that we feel.

My tension headaches have been reduced in how often they occur and their serverity, so those exercises alone were worth it to me.

This DVD does what it says and I would recommend it highly.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is a wonderful DVD.
This DVD is fantastic. Barbara Benagh is a no-nonsense yoga instructor. She explains the positions in great detail. She walks you through the positions and through the routines with a soft, relaxed voice. She doesn't pressure you at all. The setting is beautiful - right on the beach in Antigua. The sound of the waves contributes to the feeling of relaxation. There are many routines to choose from, depending on your mood. I use this DVD several times a week. I highly recommend it.
