I have been enjoying Barbara's DVD for Stress Relief for quite awhile now and found the sections on energizing and relaxation nicely done, so I picked this DVD up to have routines designed for the morning and evening that are gentle and can be done by anyone.
There is a nice selection of routines and the two short routines - Get Up And Go (AM) and Short Rest (PM) are ones I often use when I would like to get going during the day, or unwind after the day is over, and I do not have time. Both of the Breath Work routines (AM - 30 minutes, PM - 20 Minutes) I have found to be very good for centering myself and I try to do the PM Breath Work as often as possible on days I have time. Very relaxing and easy to do. |
| stretch & relax | 2009-01-02 | 3 / 5 |

| I found the abrupt music stoppage for the voice over interupted the flow a tiny bit. Achieved a good stretch, but discovered Kundalini Yoga and prefer the more upbeat music & movement. But if you are looking for soft music and stretching this is a good DVD to get started with. |
| Fantastic yoga sessions | 2008-12-28 | 4 / 5 |

This dvd is great. It lets you select what kind of session you want and has a variety of different lengths, so you can squeeze some yoga into your schedule no matter how crazy it is. Its very relaxing, and gives you a great stretch. The background is beautiful, and the instructor gives great instructions so you don't always have to crank your neck to look at the TV, you can just listen to her.
The only reason I didn't give it fives stars is because the transitions aren't very smooth. You can tell when a new "chapter" starts, because you'll be in a seated position, and she'll just have you change right to a standing position. I personally prefer to go plank, downward dog, forward bend, and then mountain; but most beginners probably wont even notice. Another reason why I docked a star is there are no captions during the Dali Lama section. He's kinda hard to understand with the accent, and captions would've been a tremendous help. |
| Another good one from Barbara | 2008-12-06 | 5 / 5 |

| I have two other DVDs with Barbara so I knew I was getting a good instructor and a style I'm comfortable with. This DVD is broken down into two areas - yoga for the morning and yoga for the evening. In each area there are several routines to choose from. You just decide what you feel like or how much time you have and then pick one. The times are from about 10 minutes to a little over 45 mintues. |
| Yoga For A Reason | 2008-11-25 | 5 / 5 |

| I like yoga DVDs that are focused on specific things. I have lots of them. This one is specifically for AM and PM yoga. The morning sessions are not more then 35 minutes long and a nice way to start the day. They get your energy flowing and your body moving. The evening sessions are a little longer and are nice for relaxing, getting rid of some tension and just unwinding. There's one for getting back some energy which is great for those days when you get home and need a kick-start to get through a full evening agenda. |
