 Lilias! New Yoga - Total Body Workout for Beginners
ASIN: B0000507PM
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Good for the Beginner!
Comments: I bought this for my mother-in-law so she could practice yoga when it was convenient for her schedule. She reports that she loves it! She said her mobility and flexibility have improved, the instructions are delivered clearly and neither too fast nor too slow, and Lilias is very encouraging and informative. My mother-in-law is a beginner (I got the tape for her after she had attended only 1 "live" yoga class) and she said it was perfect for her.

 Lilias Yoga for Beginners: Flowing Postures Boxed Set
ASIN: B00000JGFH
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: yoga homework
Comments: I've been attending a yoga class once a week for awhile. Before I received this set, I was stiff at the beginning of each class. I couldn't remember all the positions or the order in which they should proceed. With this set and another Lilias 2 box set, I can practice 6 days a week and attend my class on the 7th day, fully prepared and flexible. Lilias is the WOMAN. I practiced with her in the 70s on a PBS station and feel that I've reunited with an old friend. I can only hope that I've aged as gracefully as this gentle woman. I love these tapes and hope you will also.

Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: From a True Beginner
Comments: My husband and I have both used and enjoyed this video even though neither of us has ever tried yoga before. We're both in our fifties, and we found all of the stretches and exercises very possible to do. The stress relief is immediate, and the feeling of calm well-being after finishing it is very nice.

 Lilias! Yoga For Better Health
ASIN: 6303553664
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Are you stiff, painful, not so strong, need good chair work
Comments: This is an excellent stretch and toning workout for anyone who is sedentary, stiff, needs to sit, has pain anywhere. This workout is done with a chair and some floor work. It is actually the beginning of the practice of yoga in a safe way. I have worked with seniors for years and highly recommend this video to increase flexibility, strength, coordination and comfort.
I personally used Lilias yoga tapes when she was a young woman in the 70's and she still has a nurturing, calming and supportive style of helping you and your body improve in function. My husband and I have enjoy doing the stretches especially when stress causes neck and back pain. After doing 30 minutes, no pain and increased energy for our day! A great gift for yourself and your parents no matter what their age...no matter what their age!

 Lilias! Yoga Workout Series for Beginners
ASIN: 6304684428
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Truly great for beginners like me!
Comments: I find Lilias' manner to be calming and the yoga stretching and strengthening exercises she takes us through to be both relaxing and invigorating. Since I was just starting out, I did feel the effects of the work-out the next day...that little bit of soreness in those unused muscles! I feel that this is just the beginning; a good and simple work-out providing steps toward promoting strength and flexibility. And it does wonders for relieving stress and bringing balance into my day!

 Lilias! Alive with Yoga: Intermediate
ASIN: 6302948568
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Two versions are available
Comments: I would highly recommend this video - it's very good to use after you've been doing Lilias' "beginner" tapes for awhile. They're many of the same postures but much more strenuous, and at a quicker pace. I find the "downward dog series" is really improving my posture, which is poor after 4 c-sections.
Prospective buyers should be aware that this is a 1 cassette, 60 minute tape. Also available and listed under the very same name is a 2 cassette version, 120 minutes. I think this one is just the 1st cassette, sold separately from the 2nd. I bought it and really wish I had known about the other!

 Lilias! Yoga Basics
ASIN: 6303170730
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Great starter.
Comments: I bought this tape when I was thinking of starting yoga and knew very little about it and had never taken a class or tried a pose. It is a wonderful introduction to basic yoga poses, very profesionally done and easy to follow. I like the way Lilias describes the poses clearly and carefully. This is a great tape to introduce you to what it's all about and get you started.

 Lilias! New Yoga - Target Toning for Beginners
ASIN: B0000507PL
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Who said yoga wasn't working out?!
Comments: I've been doing yoga since I was about 8 years old and watched Lilias on PBS. I'm now 33, and I have been very sporadic in my practice the last 10 years. I've been needing to tone my muscles as well as achieve my old flexibility levels. These two tapes certainly do both! Don't let it scare you that I'm familiar with yoga. I'm way out of shape and got these tapes because it said "beginner." It really is for beginners in pace and style, but is challenging enough for those who have been doing yoga for a while, too. She is thorough in explaining the precautions and exact positioning to the beginners while also demonstrating the more advanced positions that can be worked up to. Therefore, she does a wonderful job of making these tapes perfect for both beginners, those who are rusty but know the basics, and even those who know and practice yoga regularly but need some "different" moves that are actually more toning in nature than they may be used to. If you are even slightly interested in yoga and getting in shape healthfully, these tapes are for you.

 Lilias! Energize with Yoga
ASIN: 6302948576
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: Great pre-intermediate tape.
Comments: Lilias provides complete instruction at a relaxed pace. This tape uses some of the basic poses for a complete all-body workout. One thing that impresses me is her need not to impress me with a bunch of advanced poses or other self agrandizing promotion, as I have seen elsewhere.

Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: NOT BAD
Comments: I have been doing yoga since the seventies. I have tried to get my ranching husband, with off and on back problems, into it for 20 years now. I got this tape from the library and he is into it now. I will buy this tape because it is a great tape for beginners that don't want to go to a class.

 Lilias-Silver Yoga Series
ASIN: 6305070695
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Wonderful for older beginners
Comments: I am 57 and wanted to start practicing yoga but was concerned about various injuries and age-related limitations. This video is just about perfect if you are just beginning and want basic instructions that emphasize safety, but you also want to get started and learn some poses. Also good warm-up before and relaxation after the poses. I appreciate the calm and relaxed way Lilias presents each pose and find her tips very helpful. The routines are easy to follow and not so complicated or strenuous that beginners will get discouraged. You can't go wrong with this set as a good, safe starting point at any age.

 Complete Beginner and Intermedia
ASIN: 6304947224
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: There is healing in her voice
Comments: I was having terrible pains in my arm. It would throb and go limp. Since 1998 I could not lift my arm above my waist. I purchased Lillians video in 11 2000. I immediately started feeling better with just one listen. Most of the time I have just laid in bed and just listedn to her voice and not do only the deep breathing. This is my testimony. I've never before experienced someone's voice alone creating a healing in the body. I now can lift my arm and do all sorts of acrobatics, put my hand on my hip. All the pain has left. Before I purchased her video I was ready to take all sort of expensive test with my doctor, but I'm happy to say that is not necessary. Not only my arm but other parts of my body is having a positive reaction to her theory. I can't say it enough There is healing in her voice and techniques Thank you Lillian

 Lilias! Yoga Workout Series Daily Routines for Beginners
ASIN: 6304944993
Customer's Rating: 3
Summary: Use for stretching
Comments: These tapes are for stretching and lengthing. They are not full routines but to learn modified postions and perhaps little things to do in the day.. for example shaking the kinks out of the arm...I use to watch Lilas on PBS... when she had her long braid her voice is gentle and she talks right through. For some this may be annoying but the upside of this would be that it allows for direction... meaning you will know how your body is suppose to feel. I am researching her other vidoes. I am looking for a complete class with several positions performed several times

 Lilias! Silver Yoga Series: Evening Workout for Beginners
ASIN: 6305070725
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: the perfect BEGINNER yoga tape
Comments: I own 4 different beginner yoga tapes and this is by far the best because it really IS intended for beginners. It moves VERY slowly and takes you step by step through the poses. Lilias' personality is gentle and appealing, without perky phoniness. There is gentle, soft music in the background which doesn't detract. She sometimes gives alternative instructions to make a pose easier on the body if one has physical challenges. In companion with her beginner morning workout tape these are the best on the market. I recommend them for any beginner, not necessarily only the mature adults for which they were intended.

 Lilias! Flowing Postures: Arms and Abs
ASIN: B00000JGFD
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: Lilias is abs-solutely wonderful.
Comments: It's been a couple decades since I had seen a Lilias yoga program(I used to watch her yoga classes on television). It was like visiting an old friend. I now remember what made her program so easy to follow. Her approach is very inviting; she is not pretentious or condescending. She offers a program that is fairly easy, but my only complaint is that it is short. She could have provided a few more postures, especially for the abs. It's a nice supplementary tape to own, but for serious yoga enthusiasts, it's probably too brief and simple. Lilias Folan's strength is describing the postures so that you can follow her instructions without having to stop and watch her as you do it. I look forward to trying her other tapes.
