These are very nice moves. Thank you for Bringing them to us. I do understand that they are advanced moves but I am thankful for that as I was just tired of seeing the same down word dog and cobra. I saw couple people said that it is not for seniors, It may not be appropriate for people with some limited body moves but being senior is not an excuse. I know many friends over 70 doing perfect yoga poses. It is up to you. Be motivated, practice every day and you will surprise yourselves.

1/19/2010 10:05:53 PM Report AbuseThese videos, while aesthetically lovely, do the actual exercises a dis-service. They start in the middle of a motion, not the beginning as described in the step-by-step, and actually make them look harder than they are (from a 57-year old, which I guess is getting toward senior years, who does pilates regularly, but not yoga).
