Gary Kraftsow These two excellent DVDs contain a wealth of useful and beneficial information for all yoga therapists, and also for yoga practitioners with all but the most serious of joint problems. Gary Kraftsow gives basic information about joints and joint disorders, (including the importance of prior consultation with medical advisers for more serious conditions) and then demonstrates the Viniyoga (Desikachar) approach to yoga therapy. Each DVD contains two 30-minute therapy practices and a third practice for maintenance or longer-term use. Each posture used is analysed and demonstrated in detail in a section that can be consulted if necessary during the given practices. The models used are reassuringly normal looking - no pretzels - and the practices are clearly described and accessible for most people The DVDs are very well produced and easy to navigate. They include MP3 audio versions of the practices which make them easy to do without a DVD player, for example away

Dr Ruth Gilmore
Viniyoga master Gary Kraftsow developed protocols for a recent National Institutes of Health-sponsored study of treatment for back pain. This excellent two-DVD series is based on this work and on his 30 years of experience as a yoga therapist. Each video includes short but valuable explanations of the types and causes of back pain, as well as the goals of yoga therapy and a techniques workshop. One DVD focuses on the upper back, neck, and shoulders; the other, on the low back, sacrum, and hips. The detailed instruction, gentle repetitive movements, and focus on moving with awareness and the breath make these ideal practices for a wide range of people, including those who may not have pain but can benefit from strengthening and stabilizing their backs
