Jodi Stolove's Chair Dancing Chair Yoga

Absolutely Wonderful!
Jodi has discovered how to bring the beauty and relaxation of Yoga to folks who are unable to do regular Yoga. Just because these exercises are done sitting on a chair doesn't mean that they are less than the real thing! I love the way I feel while concentrating on the routines and how I feel for the rest of the day. I wholeheartedly recommend the Chair Yoga as well as all of Jodi's other programs! Her caring for the physically-challenged is awesome and inspiring.

Wonderful DVD; too bad it is hard to get.
I tried a bunch of seated exercise DVDs. This is the ONLY one I found that I liked. Here is a short list of positive features.
Music is inoffensive.
Shows individuals of all body types, ages, and races, and types of dress.
Shows how exercises can be done at different levels of difficulty.
Not too complex, but not trivial either.
Authentic, good adaptations of yoga exercises.
Well-sequenced, good selection.
Not too long, and possible to select subset.
Reasonable energy level.
Speaker is positive without being silly.
Not too wordy, but enough talking to facilitate doing steps.

Perhaps it is just a good match for me, but I liked it, find it enjoyable, and it makes me feel good. Every other DVD I tried, I had a problem with either the music or the actors or the voice or the exercises themselves: I either found it annoying or foolish or offensive or uninspiring or just something I would never do.

Only one 1/2 hour routine
The instruction, instructor, and class are all OK, upbeat and good models. However, I was prepared for an hour of yoga, and maybe a second routine for the next day. The DVD has only one, 1/2 hour routine. It would have cost them very little to add another one or two 1/2 hour lessons to the tape. I feel seriously gypped and taken advantage of.

For the $20 price you can get a lot more. I recommend "Yoga for Caregivers". It has many more poses, several lessons, is 140 minutes long, is safe and gentle, is effective, and costs under $10 on Amazon.
