Plot Details: This opinion reveals major details about the movie's plot.

I just did this program this morning and as usual Alan Finger and his Yoga Zone instructors were perfection!

This particular program is on the gentle side, about an hour long and is sequenced beautifully. It features Lisa Bennett (Matkin) and Michelle Carillo (who does the modified version of the poses) with Alan Finger leading the session.

Being firmly in my mid forties, and having had my share of trauma to my body do to various mishaps such as car wrecks, falls etc. I definitely have my share of aches and pains when I wake up each morning. Thanks to a daily Yoga practice for the last 9 years I have found a way to overcome much of those ailments and can honestly say I'm in the best shape of my life.

A big part of my home practice (I have over 90 Yoga programs on either VHS/DVD) are Yoga Zones excellent programs.

This particular program starts seated and does various movements to open up the back, shoulders and neck. It continues to move the body through various asana from all fours, supine and standing before eventually bringing you back down to seated postures and then lying in Savasana (a pretty long guided Savasana).

I started this morning's practice a bit stiffer than usual and I can honestly say as I'm typing this that I feel great, pain free and really open in my body!

This is a program that could be used by someone quite new to yoga though perhaps a brand new beginner might want to start with Yoga Zone's "Introduction to Yoga" or the shorter "Yoga Zone Basics" (which has two 20 minute segments).

I can see that this program will be part of my regular practice for those days when I want a longer but gentle practice. For me it really felt like a moving meditation.

Alan Finger is the real deal! He is one of the true master Yoga teachers in the West and has taught many of the top Western yoga teachers including Rod Stryker. He was taught by his father Mani Finger who was a disciple in the lineage of authentic Indian Yoga Masters such as Paramansa Yogananda and Swami Sivananda. He was later initiated into Tantric Kriya Yoga by Kavi Shudananda Bharati.

I highly recommend this!
