Additional Information

Join yoga teacher Peggy Cappy as she demonstrates movements to use at home to strengthen muscles and help increase mobility for people who are challenged by arthritis or the stiffness that comes with age or injury.

This new special is divided into seven easy-to-use segments that will leave you energized and feeling more flexible:
- Gentle Warm-ups to loosen shoulders, neck and back, legs and feet
- Warm-ups for the hands, wrists, and arms
- Standing poses
- Seated poses
- Reclining poses
- Deep relaxation techniques
- Meditation

This gentle yoga routine is perfect for people of all ages and abilities as Peggy's unique approach allows for three modifications for each pose: standing, seated or using a chair for support. Plus, Peggy incorporates meditation into this workout, a technique proven to increase our ability to deal with stress.

Bonus! Travel to Peggy's historic hometown of Peterborough, NH, to meet the men and women whose lives have been dramatically improved by Peggy's classes. Hear first-hand accounts of how yoga has helped her students ease their arthritis and increase their overall health and well-being.

For more than thirty years Peggy Cappy has been teaching yoga to students of all ages. Peggy's other yoga programs include Back Care Basics and Heart Healthy Yoga. (SDH.)

Really good for people with arthritis

Good instructions. I only wish that there was a section with less instruction that you could do after you learned the movements.

Yoga stretch

Directions are good but it isnt much of a workkout. It would only be good for someone who has difficulty with movement.

Title an Accurate Description

Excellent beginning for those with arthritis or other joint problems. Students not expected to leap, but rather ease into yoga. Instructions clear and concise. Good to see exercises done from a chair if the student is not yet ready to do them standing or from the floor. I recommend this for those wanting to try yoga, see how it might work for them. I will continue to use the DVD weekly.

Yoga for the Rest of Us

This was one of the most interesting programs I have seen in some time. Being a former R. N. and having so much arthritis with no relief from braces or over the counter medications, I found this DVD easy to understand and exercises anyone could do!

This was an excellent dvd

I have done numeous yoga dvds and I feel this one was far the best. There were three versions in varying degrees of difficulty. As a previous long distant runner I have arthritic challenges and could follow different versions as I needed. The instructions were clear and concise. The dvd was very enjoyable and the time flew by.

great for my situation

I had been looking for chair yoga classes and/or a DVD or you tube video that I could follow with severe arthritis in my hips, without finding much that I could do. This, though, fits the bill. There are some things I cant do, but enough that I can do that it is really a good choice. Peggy is a good teacher and the exercises shes chosen are easy on the body but effective and enjoyable. One thing that could be better is if there were suggestions as to what to do if you cant do the pose at all - to work up to being able to do it. Overall, though, I recommend this DVD.

easy exercise

Its a great video overall. As it starts, it doesnt seem quite perfectly organized or practiced, but it gets better as it continues. Even the first part isnt bad - just not perfect. The exercises are well chosen for those of us beginning to feel our age. It is low impact and a lovely bit of stretching and bending for all levels of fitness.

Great for us less flexible people

Easy to follow, shows three different variations of the pose at the same time so we can vary the workout depending on our flexibility/limitations. I can already feel a difference in my flexibility in just a month! I plan to get the Back Basics Yoga DVD using the discount offered for writing this review.

Good, but slow

Did seem to help with my arthritic pain. Was a bit slow for me, but would be good for people who need a slower paced workout, or just need to be forced to slow down to de-stress

Excellent

I needed something like this to go along with my physical therapy. In the short time Ive had it, I can already tell a difference in my knee and shoulder joints!

Great.

It is easy, it exercises parts of your body you did not know you had; I try not to be lazy about it and do some every day.

Great for the elderly

I bought this for myself and realized it would be perfect for my 90 year old mother.

What a Lifesaver!

This program is just the thing Ive been looking for. It answers so many questions, fills so many holes, and just feels so right. It is also something that I can do and I actually look forward to participating. It came at just the right time!

Yes, by all means YES

Have had to admit to having arthritis following total knee replacement in December 2011 and being treated for lower back and shoulder inpingements. With physical therapist and doctor approval started working with this DVD. Could feel unused muscles reawakening. Looking forward to being more flexible and chasing away the dreaded morning stiffness through this assuring, pleasant and do-able program. Thank you.

Easy Yoga for Arthritis with Peggy Cappy

Easy Yoga for Arthritis was the best purchase I have made in the exercise field. I love this tape. Thanks to PBS for showing this and making it available through your store.

Peggy Cappy has always been tops!

I have recently been diagnosed with arthritis in my knees. When you e-mailed me about her special on arthritis I immediately ordered it along with another to take advantage of your special price.

Delivers On Its Promise

Ever since I caught your broadcast of Peggys work with those suffering from arthritis purchasing this DVD has been on my list. Fortunately I caught a recent rebroadcast and finally completed the task!
