"It's possible to get the benefits of yoga without ever leaving your chair.

In Sitting Fit Anytime, Certified Anusara Yoga Teacher, Susan Winter Ward, guides you through simple effective seated exercises that are perfect if you have limited mobility or want to do a little yoga at your desk. All the yoga stretches, which are done from the comfort of your chair, will help relieve stress and tension and improve circulation while building strength and flexibility.

The DVD includes nine 3 to 5 minute segments that focus on:

*Breathing
*Head, Neck & Shoulders
*Hands & Wrists
*Arms & Upper Back
*Hips & Lower Back
*Hamstrings & Forward Bends
*Abdominals
*Feet
*Meditation

There is nothing particularly exciting or sexy about this DVD. The set is simple - just Susan seated in an over-sized ladder back chair demonstrating each pose while she provides detailed verbal instruction in a calm and soothing manner. The set backdrop suggests blue sky and clouds, while subtle flute/guitar music plays quietly in the background. This DVD is also available in a CD-Rom with screen saver format designed to prompt you to take intermittent yoga at your desk breaks.

This Chair yoga DVD is a great way to get introduced to the benefits of yoga from the comfort of your chair or desk. Don't be put off by the introduction where Susan is shown doing more advanced yoga poses with the chair as a prop. Nothing closely resembling these moves is included in the instructional portion of the DVD.

Highly recommended, especially for those with limited mobility who want to experience the benefits of yoga."

"[[ASIN:B000VUWWIC Yoga For The Young at Heart - Sitting Fit Anytime - Yoga For The Young at Heart DVDs] This finally got me moving to loose my Obese statise. We are RVers, and this allows stretching and exercise in the travel trailer without any equipment. It also givea me a break when we are on the road as some of these poses can be done while in the truck. Keeps me from being bored and from getting stiff.
Thank you for a grand idea."
