Stop or Reverse Aging Symptoms... One study for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine put 21 over - 60s into a hatha yoga class, once a week for 12 weeks. They had to be suffering from hyperkyphosis, the dreaded hunched back which interferes with normal movement. The study, published in The American Journal of Public Health, reported impressive benefits: the curvatures themselves were reduced by 6%; walking speeds went up 8%, and 'reaches' were improved by 18%. As a bonus, many volunteers reported their balance was better helping to limit debilitating and dangerous falls*. After two years of practice, bone density in the spine and hip of 85% of the group was increased! · *In 2003 more than 1.8 million seniors age 65 and older were treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries and more than 421,000 were hospitalized (CDC 2005)

Conscious regulation of the breath is the single most effective relaxation techniques to flow through stress. These breath and meditation exercises focus on mindful breathing practices that are calming and energizing and can even help with stress-related health problems ranging from panic attacks to digestive disorders.
Each exercise is guided by Sarah Starr with clear instructions on the "how to" before being guided through the actual exercise.
The breath and meditation exercises are beginning points for improving your health and reducing stress that require no equipment or expenditures and require little time.
Breath and meditation also affect our state of mind, making us excited or calm, tense or relaxed. You may have noticed a connection between your rate of breathing and either stress or relaxation. It would be difficult to maintain a stressful state if your breathing were slow and deep. It doesn't mean you won't experience stress, but you can reduce its impact by having a breathing practice available.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT
Happy Yoga with Sarah Starr
Happy Yoga DVDs provide both physical and mental/emotional benefits. Not only do I follow along to gentle stretches, but I escape for 29 minutes into lush greenery, golden fields, or sandy beaches, while listening to the sounds of nature. So, I stretch my body and my imagination. Sarah Starr also includes tapping, of which I am a big proponent, into some of her DVDs.
I am 70 and work with a group of women older than me. We have all 'attempted' yoga but it is too much. This DVD is out of this world. The only trouble we all have with it is crossing our legs. However, we have found that we get the same stretch and results by just crossing our ankles and doing the stretch. This exercise is WONDERFUL.
I ordered this when I was chair bound with a broken ankle and was desparate for some type of movement. I regularly do Hatha Yoga. I really enjoyed this chair program, it is very soothing with the flowers and birds in background, and is easy to do with some modification if you don't have use of both legs.
I had done yoga years ago; recently my stress, backaches and knotted up, stiff muscles made me decide to try yoga again. I bought 3 Rodney Yee beginners dvds to try and even these beginner routines were too tough. In my online research, I discovered 'chair yoga' (which to be honest, I thought was ONLY for disabled, elderly, or overweight people who couldnt get down on a mat)..I checked out various dvds and bought 2 of Sarah Starr's. I did this one today; and I LOVE IT. I dont miss the music not being played, the sunflower scenery is LOVELY. She is so gentle, her voice is soft and this really stretches and loosens me up. I hope to 'graduate' to using Rodney Yees' someday; but these chair yoga practices work very well. (and I've changed my mind about chair yoga! ) I WILL buy more of hers down the road and enjoy becoming more flexible, less stressed and feeling better!
With wrist and knee problems, it's difficult for me to get down and up from the floor so this chair yoga was perfect! Some good stretches. I also enjoyed the separate meditation segment that was included.
I have been anticipating the release of a half hour Happy Yoga Intermediate volume series and this is, hopefully, the first of many such videos to come. For those who have viewed Happy Yoga on television or online, you have likely viewed and recognize the difference between intermediate and chair yoga. Happy Yoga intermediate yoga is more challenging than Happy Yoga chair yoga in that poses are done on the floor and while standing. The names of poses presented in this intermediate yoga DVD are also presented in chair yoga DVDs. Therefore, if you have been doing chair yoga, name recognition of poses and possible modifications that you might specifically need should not be a problem. Also, Sarah Starr has often mentioned in her videos that one must go at their own pace, to listen to one’s own body. Autumn Leaves includes plank and warrior poses. Fiery Ocean Sunset includes triangle poses, twists, and a forward bend. Both incorporate multiple downward dog poses. Ease of movement should increase with practice; change takes time and patience. If you have been doing Happy Yoga chair yoga and could advance either with standing or floor poses and/or if you would appreciate a yoga practice that focuses on calm attention to oneself, I would recommend Happy Yoga intermediate yoga.
