Yoga focuses on keeping the spine open and supported, so it is understandable why millions of people turn to yoga for self-care of their back, explains instructor Rodney Yee in Back Care Yoga for Beginners, a gentle, easy 30-minute introduction to yoga. Its 20-minute yoga workout maximizes the movements of the spine and Yee carefully demonstrates the back-strengthening yoga postures, sometimes using a chair (sitting in it or standing and propping one foot on it). His form is beautiful, his explanations clear. If you're a beginner, realize that you cannot begin to approximate his degree of flexibility. Your goal is not to get as deeply into each posture as the instructor, but to reach your own comfortable limit. Cautions are given for pregnant women. --Joan Price |

Excellent video for back pain by SP (USA)  5 Stars
November 02, 2005
After suffering with back pain for months and using doctor prescribed strong painkillers, I got very little relief and wasn't keen on continuing using painkillers long term. Gradually I started researching alternatives and read reviews for this video and bought it. I don't have enough good things to say about this video, it gave me relief within days, I don't have back pain anymore. Now I use this tape just for stretching after a long day at work. I like Rodney Yee's calming voice, he has a pleasant face and the background music is soothing too. After this yoga I feel relaxed and can sleep better, this is a great buy for those with lower back pain.

It is a good stretching tape. The instructions are very easy to follow and the tape is formatted and shown by the sea-side. Very good tape.

Safe Choice For New Folks by Mcgivern Owen L (NY, NY USA)  4 Stars
August 08, 2005
The number of amazon friends who voted on this yoga tape immediately impressed this reviewer! There must be a tremendous market for home self-care. Rodney Yee creates a nice, mellow mood, with soothing background music. The production value is high. The pace is pleasant and not too fast. I was surprised by those who wrote that Yee moves too quickly. I politely disagree! My wife brought me 2 yoga tapes- Yee's and one with a female instructor. I tried the latter, thinking she would be less aggressive. Wrong! I had to discard that one immediately. Yee is far easier on a new guy- and his back! There seems to be disagreement on the tape's length. The answer must lie in the promotional material at the start. Simply fast forward until the instruction starts. I did notice that Rodney got left and right mixed up. In those instances, I do what he says and not as he does. Am I the only reviewer who picked up on this? I am happy for those who claim this tape is a virtual miracle. More power to them! For the rest of us, "Back Care Yoga" is a nice, safe, reliable, low- key tape; just right for the hesitant beginner. On the same subject, amazoners may wish to read Dr. John Sarno's "Healing Back Pain". The two are quite compatible! The best of luck to all those searching for a little relief in life. BCY should help attain it.

The best back therapy I've found by I love yoga (Frisco, TX) 5 Stars
November 01, 2004
I have back problems from minor aches to severe nerve pinches, depending on how I sleep and how often I take (or don't take) breaks from my desk job during the day. No matter how my back feels at the end of the day, doing this video ALWAYS makes it feel better. I've found that it's gentle enough to do no matter how much pain I'm in (although obviously you have to modify it when you're really tweaked). Like other users have said, it helps faster than any medication treatment, and it's easier, cheaper, and faster than a massage or other therapy!
