The “yoga studio” & the demonstrators look totally oudated and low budget. If you can get past this it has some good ideas.

Bought the two dvd set. The exercises were a bit softer than what I was looking for; seemed to be aimed at continous gentle movement rather than stretching into and maintaining positions. There did seem to be the advertised several hours of viewing. However the menu navigation did not respond well either to playing on my computer or my dedicated dvd player; gave up trying after a while.
Contacted the producer and prompt restitution was made. Five stars for service.

I have found this set of DVDs by John Schlorholtz to be easy to use, and I have enjoyed the varied experiences offered. With the real life students and the teacher’s style of instruction these DVDs are pleasurable, and they also have been most beneficial to support getting my strength back and healing. Visiting friends and family new to yoga have joined me in practicing with the DVDs and have been surprised by how good they have felt as a result. It has been a treat to share this set and the accompanying results with those I care about. Thank you!

I became acquainted with John Schlorholtz’s yoga DVDs when I had a broken ankle a couple of years ago. I found them to be great for healing, and they introduced me to regular yoga exercise. Schlorholtz has arranged the routines on the disk to provide many different options in level of exercise and time commitment needed to complete the routines. Doing them regularly has been very beneficial in terms of general health and flexibility. By creating your own customized program of routines, you really can find an individual, progressive path from gentle beginner exercises (where I was when I broke my ankle) to more challenging levels. I recommend these DVDs highly.

I have been using John’s DVDs several times each week for almost two years. As a 53-year-old woman with an average fitness level and no significant physical limitations, the DVDs have been wonderful for increasing my flexibility and over-all feeling of well-being. They are easy to use and to tailor for different workouts on different days. I have even found the chair DVD good for hotel rooms where I really don’t want to get down on the carpet. John’s approach is very accessible to persons new to yoga and for those who want a more “gentle” approach–both toward mind and body. I would highly recommend both DVDs.
