Amazon.com:
Yoga instructor Barbara Benagh has practiced and taught yoga for nearly 35 years. She discovered yoga while living in England and began teaching there. She moved to Boston and opened The Yoga Studio on Beacon Hill in 1980.
In addition to her local classes Barbara teaches yoga seminars throughout the US and internationally. She is a regular contributor of articles to Yoga Journal magazine. She has several audio CDs of live classes available as well as DVDs, the latest being Yoga for Beginners released by Body + Soul magazine, and Yoga for Stress Relief that includes a discussion on meditation from the Dalai Lama.
Barbara was kind enough to answer some questions from Amazon.com about this unique line of yoga DVDs.
How are these DVDs different from other yoga DVDs?
I was drawn to working with Bodywisdommedia because they produce DVDs they are interactive. Rather than a "one size fits all" single routine that is typical of most products, these DVDs offer choice, allowing the user to customize and change their yoga practice to suit their needs. No two persons are the same so the ability to change your practice - easing shoulder tension one day and an invigorating morning wake up the next - come as close as possible to allowing you to address your individual needs at home. Not only do people have different physical needs, but they have different time constraints as well. If you have only 20 minutes, there is a practice for you but there are longer practices as well (some as long as 90 minutes) that address the total body/mind connection. The sheer number of yoga sequences offered on each of these DVDs is a first. They are incredibly comprehensive.
How were you able to get the Dalai Lama involved?
This project dovetailed perfectly with the Dalai Lama's message that modern stress is one of the greatest obstacles to our mental happiness and physical wellbeing. Because we are long-time sincere practitioners, having a 30-minute lecture of the Dalai Lama teaching how to meditate on the Yoga for Stress Relief DVD was a perfect fit. Bodywisdommedia also has a broader relationship with the Office of Tibet and are releasing historic lectures with "A Path to Happiness" being the first one.
How will potential buyers of these DVDs know which one is right for them?
The titles are very indicative of what appears on the DVD and therefore a good guide. I really enjoyed making Yoga for Stress Relief because it is incredibly relevant. We strove to make the sequences accessible to as many people as possible, whether they are a beginner or long time practitioner. Yoga for Beginners is a great, non-threatening place to get started and includes lots of sound technique developed over my 30 years as a yoga teacher. Power Yoga for Every Body is a bit more challenging taking you from the beginning level and gradually progressing to much more demanding routines.

Yoga For Beginners I Have two disk lower back that are bad. I have been three DR's no help and then went to a rheumatism and she send me to a real Back Dr and he stated if I do the surgery there is a 40% you will be worst. But, this DVD has helped my core back to be not in pain. I'm 5'7" and 135# and 53 years or age. If I can not have a surgery I'm better off. So, good for me and good for the DVD and Barbara Benagh for helping me thru the pain. And of course finding the the right Doctors to treat the pain and encourage me to do core back exercise to help my pain. Quess what it helped and do yourself the same.

This is my first yoga DVD and so far I don't think I could have made a better choice.
The length of the routines in the Getting Started section are all about 20-30 minutes. The instruction is really clear and the routines move at a comfortable pace. After about 3 weeks of using this DVD twice a week for about a half hour I started finding that that my body is able to do a little more each time and it's starting to really come together for me.
Remember to not skip the interview. You'll get some great info about the instructors approach and about yoga in general.

I borrowed a few videos from my sister. This was one I liked enough to get my own copy. I've enjoyed the variety of routines it offers. Different lengths and focusing on different things like hips, backbends, strength and others. This is a very nicely done video. Good, clear instruction, lots of variety and a lovely beach setting.

My wife has been trying to get me to do yoga. I'm not the yoga type I told her I'd try a couple of her DVDs and see what I thought. I'll admit it, I was wrong about yoga. Half an hour in and I was hooked by how it made me feel. I started slowly, twice a week and have been sticking to it now for 4 months or so. Wish I'd listened to her earlier because I can see the added flexibility and different kind of conditioning really started helping me in my golf game, softball and other things like that.

I wanted to give yoga a try for help in flexibility,so I purchased this DVD, and it has far exceeded my expectations. I think it will help me with flexibility( I've only had it a week),but it has helped me, surprisingly enough, in relaxing. I think the mental health benefits will outweigh the physical benefits for me. One routine in particular, "a gentle unwind" has been just wonderful. In fact, I've just ordered Barbara's "Yoga for Stress Relief" because this routine came from that DVD. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants physical activity that is truly relaxing and calming.
