I tried this tape after having been sidelined with a sprained back, and still in some pain. Suzanne has modified the postures so there is no danger of straining either your back or hamstrings. She uses a "yoga block" (appears to be a hard foam block); I used a book; and a yoga strap (a towel will substitute nicely for this.)

This tape offers 10 minutes of warm-up, 18 minutes of standing and lying posture work, and 2 minutes of relaxation. Each section, however, flows into the next so there is no clear demarcation. Although I anticipated being somewhat bored, the time just flew by doing this tape.

Filmed on a beach in Hawaii, the scenery is beautiful. This is definitely a beginner tape, but worth having on hand when you're injured, strained, or just want a good stretch!

Instructor Comments:
Suzanne Deason has a wonderful, soothing voice. She has overdubbed the audio on this tape and is not talking while she is demonstrating postures. Her explanations and cuing are excellent; you can do the tape without constantly having to watch it.
