Informative discussion section; Workout suitable for beginners
The Mayo Clinic Menopause DVD contains several sections. There is a chapter in which several doctors, nutritionists and health care specialists discuss what you can expect with regard to transitioning into menopause and discuss options and myths in such areas as synthetic versus "natural" bio-identical hormones and various supplements. I especially like that they stress that menopause is a natural part of life, not a disease, and not everyone needs "treatment." I was already familiar with much of what was presented because I've done a lot of my own reading and research, but for anyone interested in sorting fact from fiction, I think it contains good, up-to-date information. There is a brief meditation section that I haven't used and then a separate yoga section that is about 25 minutes long. The yoga session is led by Colleen Saidman, who is joined by two other women in a nice outdoor setting. The two women demonstrate the poses and Colleen alternates between joining in the pose...
Just okay
I had hoped for more Yoga exercises. Colleen Saidman is always really good at describing yoga positions; but this dvd needed more exercises....The medical information was okay...but all in all the entire DVD should have had more substance.
Excellent video at rock-bottom price
This video is for women at any level of yoga, and I love it. It cost far less than others I have, but it is one of the best. Two models and an instructor show you the poses, and modifications for them. All you need is a mat and a blanket to move with the yoga programs (2). There is also great information on the dvd about healthy living with menopause. Excellent job.
