Want to make your day healthy and peaceful? or you want to live a balanced lifestyle with minimal effort. Working guy? I am sure you must be looking for ways to stay alert and energized… recently i found the Easy Yoga series DVD tripack from Wai Lana which promised to improve my lifestyle and solve my health issues… I have seen the review page of the dvd in the official website and i decided to check it out. After spending a few weeks practicing poses from this dvd set, I can confidently say, this dvd set is a noble find for my well being.
I am writing about my short real journey with these DVDs starting from my first hand experience of receiving the kit from the parcel guy to this point of practicing Easy yoga for more than few weeks now. I have included what I have felt personally during my practice sessions… I have tried to make it very detailed and include the essential aspects, still I will be happy to see your experiences in the comments box, and here goes my comprehensive review.
Let’s start from the look and feel of the packet and we gradually move on to other aspects…
Protective Packaging:
This Easy Yoga DVD series is packaged in a very protective way. This series include 3 DVDs which are well supported inside a strong cover along with a booklet and all the 3 single dvd pack is again pocketed in another cover. This strong protective packaging helped me to get the product without any damage even though it was shipped from abroad.
Elaborate Description:
This series is comprised of three DVDs named as Beginners Workout, Toning Workout and Relaxation Workout. I found this DVD tripack is a complete package containing booklets which had concise description of the poses, the guidelines to follow while doing Yoga, benefits and key points to do the poses and the usage of the props in the poses. All these elaborative description creates an interest to start a Yoga lifestyle.
Furthermore, the booklets in each DVD pack contained the quick hints and benefits of the poses given by Yoga teacher Wai Lana. It is very handy for anyone and everyone to know in detail about the poses when there is no machine to play the DVD.
Ease of Usage:
After inserting into the player, i found the DVD is structured in a user friendly format. I feel it very easy to navigate through the poses. The DVD has many features to go for a pose. It has “Start Work Out”, wherein she explains all the poses with the benefits continuously, “Extras” with different poses: one asana at a time, Introduction and the option to choose your preferable language.
“Extras” has different other features and the option to go back to the menu page.
Clicking on one asana at a time makes it very easy to choose your own preferable pose and to practice with her.
Clicking any asana on this page gives all the benefits and navigation to the key points for this pose.
Initially I used to practice one asana at a time from “Extras” with the description, benefits and key point about the poses. But after few days I am simply playing the “Start workout” and practicing with her. Each DVD plays for nearly 1 hour.
She has explained all the poses in Spanish as well as English. It’s very easy for everyone to understand. Choose language from the initial screen itself –there are 2 options available: English & Espanol
I Learned the Importance of LESS is MORE from Wai Lana:
My practical experience after watching this video is, with a minimal time of the day and a little effort we can make our day healthy and peaceful. What I learnt from all 3 DVDs is that unless & until we do it ourselves, we could not feel the benefits and positive effects of any yoga pose or the meditation practice. I would say it applies to all. The best experience from practicing the poses with her is; she never asks to be competitive and put pressure on any body part to do the pose perfect but she focuses on maintaining the balance and safety of the body while doing any pose.
Easy yet effective poses to stay healthy:
This series of DVDs by Wai Lana explains easy poses which is possible for all and everyone could do. I could realize after watching Wai Lana yoga poses – yoga is very important and beneficial to remain physically, mentally and emotional fit. Wai Lana explains many poses to massage different body parts and the internal organs.
Watching the poses from Wai Lana, I could realize only doing the poses is not important but doing it properly with the instructions and steps mentioned makes the pose beneficial. Practicing the poses with her with the instructions followed makes the entire body flexible and stronger. This simply relieves the fatigue and helps to keep me alert and energized throughout the day.
Yoga props made it easy to get into yoga space:
Earlier, I had no idea of the usage of yoga props in Yoga. After watching this video I bought the yoga kit and started using them and this makes it very easy to practice the Yoga poses, to balance evenly while doing the poses and to go deeper in the pose. I feel it very interesting to do yoga with the yoga props.
My personal experience:
I have a very weak and disease prone body; starting from having pain in many body parts, pain in joints, burning sensation in my back, weak nervous system, hand tremor, I have all that. Every day was a pain for me. I was feeling very difficult to pass each day with all these painful experiences.
As I heard from her, about the various benefits of different yoga poses, it really helped me to know the particular poses meant for my situation. Different poses in this easy yoga video series helps me immensely to relieve the pain from different body parts. I would like to share the benefits of poses in different series elaborately with you. I hope this will help you in the same way.
After trying this Easy Yoga series, I recommended Wai Lana TV series to my mom. She also has many illnesses as well like me and her experience practicing these poses is also as like me. She feels much more relaxed, rejuvenated and energized practicing these poses now. We are having a good time now discussing these poses and the benefits we get from this DVD series. I would say this series of DVDs is recommended to any one and every one and for all ages. One can easily buy the DVDs from their wide distribution network. You can easily purchase from many Wai Lana on-line stores.
