This is a 50 minute stretching video. Anne
teaches the class consisting of a woman who
is a yoga instructor and a man who is a
karate instructor. The room looks like a
doctor's office waiting room minus any
furniture. She starts off with some
breathing exercises and then on to some
standing stretches to warm up all the
muscles. The stretches are held nice and
long. Most are from yoga - triangle pose,
downward dog, bridge pose, cobra, and tree
pose. Unlike most yoga videos I've done
there is no relaxation pose at the end. No
props are needed. She also shows many
modifications. Anne gives excellent form
pointers throughout the tape which I found
very helpful. I also loved the background
guitar music! I like this video a lot. I
find the living arts yoga videos move too
fast for me. There is nothing great to look
at in this video, so I concentrate more on
the music, her cues and t
Instructor comments: Anne is a personal trainer and very
knowledgeable about stretching. She is quiet
and serious, a little like Karen Voight.Danielle S
