Melanie (verified owner) – :
Somewhere along the line, we associated “healthy” exercise with working against our body’s limits. And then we’re surprised when we end up with new aches and pains or, worse, shred tendons, abrade cartilage and dislocate joints. That’s one reason why so many of us are intimidated by exercise, especially as we age. This wonderful DVD – appropriate for any age — takes a different approach: working WITH the body. Valerie puts her own unique spin on both the yoga and qigong chapters, encouraging us to become aware of how movement that follows the breath makes us stronger, lithe and calmly energized – makes us feel good both while we’re working out and after we work out. The DVD is also a visual treat, with a lovely interplay of light in a lush natural setting. Five stars!
