Product Description This DVD was created for the Arthritis Foundation by yoga therapist Shoosh Lettick Crotzer, who has been teaching yoga for more than 36 years, and physical therapists. It is a state-of-the-art, easy-to-use yoga-based program and it includes breathing techniques, stretches, strengthening exercises, an aerobic section, and a total body relaxation. All five participants on this tape have various types of arthritis (one also has MS, one has fibromyalgia), work at different levels, and range in age from 35 to 72. Those with a variety of types of arthritis and related conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis, plus those with fibromyalgia, MS, or seniors who want a basic gentle exercise routine can benefit from this tape. It is widely used throughout the country and is recommended by rheumatologists. It shows one person seated (except for a 5-minute standing section where he is holding onto a chair) making it also an excellent, basic exercise program for anyone in a wheelchair, or for those who need or simply prefer to exercise while seated. It is a good companion to the book Yoga for Fibromyalgia: Move, Breathe & Relax to Improve Your Quality of Life by Shoosh Lettick Crotzer. This DVD also includes a Spanish version. Review THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHEN THEY MADE THIS VIDEO March 15, 2000 By "tntaangela" (Nashville, TN, USA) This review is from: Yoga for Arthritis - Pathways to Better Living with Arthritis and Related Conditions [VHS] (VHS Tape) I have CFS, Fibromyalgia (FM), and degenerative joint & muscle disease. I am 90% bedridden yet I am able to do this workout regularly. There are three levels shown for each of these very low-impact routines. You can do all the exercises sitting in a chair if necessary. All the exercises are simple and focus specifically on the hot spots of FM and arthritis. The best part is the wonderful relaxation portion at the end. It just doesn't come any easier than this. If I can do it...YOU have no excuse not to try it for yourself. I even bought a copy for my mother. --.com reviews
