I've never done yoga before, I just did these two video classes of yours as a way of cooling down after a workout. I feel amazing. This is so relaxing when you finish. Thanks very much!

[kolinkah]

Great beginning workout for yoga - I couldn't help laughing every time the speaker said "stamina" - it was "stanima" - made me giggle so much I almost lost my balance. : )

[fairyfantastic]

i want to do yoga! i want to relax my mind and body coz im depressed these days...

[kvforman]

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling down. Yoga can help you reduce stress and kick in the good feeling, Make sure you breath during your Yoga practice and that you spend some time in Relaxation. Many people are feeling the same way as you... Namaste~ Vicki

Bless you! Keep your chin up and smile. Your best place to start is in your heart! Yes! Breath and relax. Fairyfantastic? Nice name. For indeed they are fantastic and there to assist in your physical and spiritual revival. You are the best! Collectively we need to awaken to this truth and change this "virus" called stress that so many suffer from. It all starts with you. Peace and Light.

what time of the day would it be best to do this? im really interested in yoga, and i usually exercise by doing crunches and such at about 7 at night. Would that be okay? Or should i make it earyler? thanks

[hershl89]

depends what time you sleep, generally dont do exercise three hours before you sleep

[jebmy]

am happy very nice

[devangna16]

does this help u lose belly fat too???..how many weeks if i do this 2 times everyday

[kvforman]

Please check with your doctor and make sure he approves Yoga as a form of exercise. I admire your willingness to try Yoga. It does work well for individuals trying to start a new exercise program. You may consider Private lessons to get proper form and alignment. Best wishes to you!

I am a 43 year old man and I currently weigh 410 lbs at 6'. I have multiple health issues from neuropathy, sleep apnea, severe depresseion to polychythemia vera. I feel drawn to try this. When I walk for any length of time my gout will flair up...will keep you posted.

[rayiman]

its doesnt work for me though.

[kvforman]

Yoga is not for everyone. You need to find an exercise that you enjoy and feel some passion about in order to lose weight. Yoga works well with other type of physical activities such as running, golfing, swimming etc...Good luck in finding your passion

[Bremen25]

I don't have a yoga mat, but I use a rug. Is that safe? Yoga supplies are so expensive.

[kvforman]

You can find a yoga mat for under $10 or an exercise mat. A sticky mat is really better than a rug... mainly for safety issues.

[PineapplePinyata]

I'm quite new to this,

So you have to do this atleast 3 times a week for results. This exercise in the video. But do you get better results if you purchase the DVD? (I mean the things on the DVD)

[kvforman]

Thanks for the question. The DVD would be better for reaching any improvement in your health or burning calories.

With the Full DVD, I would practice at least 3 times a week. Namaste~

[kvforman]

Hi, Delicatemoon... Yes, the random dog

is pretty awesome... Vicki

[delicatemoon]

i love the random dog at 3:08

[candycane21]

This is very accessible beginner video. You do simple, yet invigorating moves. I play your video twice and I feel wonderful!

[kvforman]

You should practice Yoga at least 3 times a week to notice an improvement in flexibility and strength. To lose weight, you should include some type of aerobic exercise, a diet journal along with your Yoga practice. Yoga relaxation can help you to make a mind-body connection which helps you to stay calm and not fall into bad eating habits that sometimes are trigger by emotional ups and downs. Namaste~ Vicki

[kimmedeiros]

I have been doing your videos for about a week. They are so great for a beginner. I never thought I would like Yoga, but it makes me feel really good afterwards. This one is my favorite. I sweat more than when I walk for 30 minutes. By the way, were some of your videos shot on Kauai, Hawaii?

[kvforman]

Yes, some of the videos are taking on Kauai, Hawaii. Such a beautiful place! I would love to go back soon. Yoga has so many wonderful Health benefits... it is great that you are walking too. Good combination of aerobic and stretching...Namaste~ Vicki

[cjapril08]

hi kvforman, i just do yoga which the position´s lie flat on back with legs and then spread legs apart and lock body then after raise arms over the head but i got pain at the spine of my back but i still think its good to the body and even has many benifits like stimulates internal organs and improves circulation

[kvforman]

Hello, Please do not perform any Yoga posture

if you are feeling pain. Please ask your Doctor about the pain you are feeling in your back.

[swtangel1603]

how long do you have to do this before you see results, and is this ok on its own or should i also be doing other workouts like cardio as well?

[kvforman]

Yes, you should do other cardio such as walking or riding a bike. To gain strength, flexibility and to become a healthy person are good goals to start out with. Keeping a steady Yoga practice will teach you to listen to your body and helps with emotional eating habits. Try keeping a food diary. Yoga practice and weight loss should be a life time goal. Thanks for practicing with this video.. Namaste~ Vicki

[nataliehun]

Im definitely inspired to take up yoga after watching your videos... I was intimidated at first by the complexity of some of the moves id seen elsewhere and thought you had to be made of elastic and able to wrap your legs around your head! But these simple beginner exercises are great.

[kvforman]

Natalie - Thanks for the positive comments.

I think it is important to make Yoga available for everyone because of the many health benefits. It is the combination of stretch, strength and best of all the sense of being calm and relaxed. Namaste~ Vicki

[PiNk2417]

[sakaima]

Glad to know u!

[sakaima]

thanks for ur explanation....glad to know :)

[sakaima]

can I do it at home?

[kvforman]

Yoga can be done outside or indoors.

Use a "sticky mat", bare feet, and

level ground. Be safe, listen to your body

and enjoy the Yoga practice.

Namaste~

[sakaima]
