Summary: Viniyogatherapy VERY HELPFUL! Highly Recommend!!!
Comment: After having chronic low back and right leg pain for four years, I chose this DVD to help me recover from surgery. The stretches and exercises have helped me more than anything else! It's very relaxing and effective to release tension in the muscles.

Summary: Viviyoga Therapy for Low Back, Sacrum & Hips - Kraftsow
Comment: I purchased both of Gary Kraftsow videos and they were very similar so that wasn't expected. I'm relatively new to yoga so was trying to find a video that was slow enough for me to follow yet provided enough benefit to continue - both of these would fall into that category.

Summary: Great for healing your back and then strengthening it
Comment: My back started going out when I was in my early 40s. In the fall of 2006, when I was 51, it went out twice in a relatively short period, and the second time was very painful and debilitating. I started using practices from Gary's book, "Yoga For Wellness," to begin the healing process and made a lot of progress over a period of about a month.
In 2007, I attended a four-day class Gary gave based on this DVD and it's companion on practices for the upper back, shoulders and neck. I bought both DVDs and my back hasn't gone out or been tweaked since I began doing the practices.
Gary makes the point that you have to be consistent in your practice. He says it's like flossing your teeth. I do a modified version of practice 3 on this DVD about four times a week.
My office mate's back went out at about the same time as mine did in 2006. He complained for months that it was still giving him problems. Earlier this year, I lent him the lower back DVD, since I have the practice memorized and I put the audio versions on my MP3 player. He has been doing the practices ever since and reports a big improvement.
I love Gary's therapeutic approach and highly recommend these DVDs.

Summary: Wouldn't start my day without it!
Comment: I've been using this DVD daily for the past 6 months and I can't imagine starting my day without it. I'm a fairly active person who also does more vigorous yoga, but I think this is gentle enough for those new to yoga or regular activity. There's lots of info on the reasons for back pain and detailed instruction for all the poses. There are three actual practices, a very gentle 20 minute sequence for low back, a 30 minute gentle sequence targeting hips, and a 30 minute sequence designed to build more strength and stability for hips and low back. I do the third one almost exclusively. Love that audio versions of the sequences are provided so I can practice with my iPod when I'm away from home or want to go to another room without a dvd player.
