(More customer reviews)The instruction on this DVD is classic, and so incredibly helpful. It doesn't stray too much from the Hatha yoga I learned from an Indian nun decades ago, in its simplicity and deep health benefits, with the additional advantage of Paula Tursi's knowledge and teaching abilities, which are exceptional, as she makes us understand the "why" as well as the "how." You will need 2 small blankets to fold or roll to accommodate yourself and be comfortable in some of the asanas, a strap or thin scarf about 4' long for a leg stretching exercise, and a mat or rug to lie on. Tursi has 2 other people demonstrating with her who are on different levels of accomplishment, so you have a choice of following either one, and it's made clear that you are to acknowledge your own uniqueness and work at your own level.
After the introduction, and a section where Tursi explains (with a skeleton) how important hip mobility is with a few exercises, we get the main instruction, starting with a terrific breathing lesson, which gives us inner clarity and total relaxation. Tursi then gently begins with floor work to increase flexibility and strength, leading up to the basic "Sun Salutation," and going on to much more, slowly increasing in difficulty. The lesson is planned perfectly, with a balance that keeps building without ever causing stress. The final meditation is beautiful, and you can feel your body healing as you relax.
Well produced, the demonstrated movements are always easy to see, the music good, and the meditation visuals a delight, should you want to keep your eyes open. Tursi's soft voice and excellent enunciation makes her instructions easy to follow and pleasant to the ear, and she is aesthetically wonderful to watch. This "Yoga Inside Out" DVD is about as good as you will ever find, and with 90 minutes of superb instruction, you really get your money's worth.

Yoga Inside Out - The Healing Way focuses on yoga body mechanics and optimal alignment as the keys to unlocking the healing power ofyoga. The program consists of a lesson on yoga body mechanics and an 80-minute beginner-intermediate therapeutic practice.
Paula Tursi, Founder and Director of NYC-based Reflections Yoga,built this healing program with a special emphasis on discoveringtherapeutic benefits of yoga for improving the condition of the lowerback, hips, and knees. The body mechanics lesson explores the anatomy of the pelvis and points out the causes of tension, tightness, andaches coming from incorrect carriage and imbalanced pelvic posture.
Tight hips, gluteal muscle gripping and misaligment of the spine aresignificantsources of lower back and knee pain.Opening the hips can create stability in the knee joints and help to properly align the lower back.
Paula teaches awareness of the four separate bones that form thepelvis, and prompts understanding of the differences between postures where two halves of the pelvis move as one unit or move independently. She teaches how to stabilize the spine whileincreasing the opening and mobility of the hips through maximizing the effectiveness of inner and outer hip rotation exercises.
Paula teaches simple techniques that transform familiar yoga exercises into deep therapeutic experience through additionalawareness of the anatomy of movement.
The 80-minute practice features Paula's instructional method ofbuilding a developmental progression of movements to awaken thebody's innate dynamics, expanding the range and depth of motion whereit may have been left underdeveloped, and prompting one to move notjust from the muscles and joints but also through drawing supportfrom the inner body, organs, and breath.
