"You don't need to be thin, young, and a contortionist to do this program," says instructor Peggy Cappy. Yoga for the Rest of Us is a yoga practice for people who might be inflexible, out of shape, or feeling aches and pains. Cappy presents three 20-minute routines that work separately or together. Part 1 is a series of warm-up seated stretches. Part 2 presents standing poses, holding a chair if needed. Part 3 is a flowing series of Sun Salutations, building stamina, and again using a chair if necessary, followed by relaxation. Public television yoga instructor Cappy teaches gently and quietly, accompanied by demonstrators of various ages and conditions. Recommended for people who thought that yoga was beyond them because of age, medical conditions, or fitness level, especially those with functional challenges, such as not being able to bend down or reach for a top shelf. --Joan Price

5 out of 5 stars No strain, sure gain   November 23, 2008
J. David (Menlo Park, CA)
This is indeed "yoga for the rest of us." No need to be a beginner with joints that bend like Mr. Bill's. The people in this yoga tape range from about 38 to 70 years old and for every pose there are options for those wishing more stretch, or less. Chairs can even be used. I reviewed every yoga tape in our public library, looking for one that gave us the benefits of a yoga workout without leaving us in knots. A great entry into yoga for almost any age group! My only suggestion, as these poses are very well demonstrated, is that someone totally new to yoga would find a visit to a yoga workshop helpful to get going. I give this an A for being a really great beginning for anyone needing to stretch and strengthen his body and balance. An A for being super for seniors, as well.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!   November 12, 2008

I have had 3 back surgeries and have been in pain for 10 years. I have tried so many things to ease my pain. This program helps!! I have found relief from much of my pain through practing yoga especially through Peggy Cappy's programs!


5 out of 5 stars As The Title Says   October 9, 2008
Brandie Covill
I am inflexible and have been working to try to gain it back before I lose it. I am not that old and should be more flexible.

This DVD is one I would recommend for anyone who is inflexible. The instructor is excellant with very good instructions for the main sections covered that are seated, standing and sun salutations. These are done in manner that are easy to follow and work with and I found them all doable though for me the seated and standing were good to start with before trying the sun salutations.

Highly recommended



4 out of 5 stars Truly for all of us   September 29, 2008
Yoga Lady (Providence, RI)
This yoga video is as it is described Yoga for the Rest of Us. It is ideal for anyone starting out and also great for anyone who wants to follow a basic practice. It is designed to accomodate those with physical limitations, lack of experience as well as those with a knowledge and ability with yoga. As a yoga teacher I frequently recommend this video as one that is accessable to many and very safe to do alone. Peggy Cappy's style is open and clear.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect for the middle aged and out of shape   September 27, 2008
P. Kercheval (Wisconsin)
My husband and I both love all of Peggy Cappy's DVD's. They are perfect for middle aged out of shape people who wish to regain their balance and flexibility. Peggy Cappy also has a very good yoga DVD for back care.
