Product Description
Gentle therapist-designed Yoga DVD for people with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. Graduated practices for beginners who must practice in bed or on a chair, followed by gentle advancements to reduce pain and fatigue and to safely build strength, flexibility and endurance.
Yoga for Healing is a “must have” if you suffer from FM &/or CFIDS. Even if you are bed bound and physicially deconditioned you should be able to do the breathing segment, which I personally found to be beneficial as it is calming, and relaxing. Be sure and watch the entire DVD. It’s uplifting and gave me hope. Definately worth the money!

I’m lucky to have taken classes with Sarah.She has moved away but I can still do her DVD which I do at leat 6 days a week.It is amazing and the best one out there. I have bought other YogaDVDs and they are too fast, don’t give enough instruction… whereas Sarah does everything..especially the breathing.I have Fibromyalgia, so this is a daily must to keep the pain level down. It really helps.

I’m not your normal yoga type and I am easily intimidated by yoga practitioners who overstress the athletic and/or the spiritual. Sarah Bates is simply the best yoga teacher I have ever come across and she has made yoga a major part of my life. I’m 60 and in okay shape, never very athletic, but Yoga for Healing is easing my way into middle age
. I’m stronger, more stable, and feel better. The video includes easy to follow 20 minute sessions. I’ve taken it all over the world. In fact, I’ve worn my copy out and need to get a new one!

This DVD has a soothing ambiance and extraordinary yoga instructions. It makes Yoga accessible to everyone. I love the gradated classes. The interviews are very inspiring. I am a Yoga instructor and assumed this DVD would be too basic for me. However, the careful attention to detail was illuminating. Then I got the flu and was in bed for three days-yuk. I was going stir crazy and put on the DVD. The Bed/Mat Yoga Practice was the perfect yoga session for me. It was just enough to help stimulate my body’s healing powers and I was back on my feet in no time! Great holiday gift idea.

I am a very physically active 55-year old woman who is in recovery from a stroke that I had about 2 years ago. I am having a good recovery, focusing on walking, riding bikes, and Tai Chi and building at a snail’s pace. I am making very slow, but steady progress. Everytime I reach a plateau, it is important to challenge myself with a new activity. This time, I chose gentle yoga and purchased a variety of DVDs. This is by far the best one! The instructor really gets it- even though I do not have fibromyalgia I was inspired by her story and the stories of the members of the class. When you have a stroke, the experts often tell you there is no recovery after the first year. That is not true! As long as you keep challenging yourself you can continue to make progress. As long as you can do a tiny bit, you can build on it, even if the progress is glacially slow. This is kind of the tone of this DVD. Everyone can start somewhere and then try to build on it. I am very hopeful that the gentle yoga will stimulate further the power of my body to heal itself!
PS I have been practicing the postures on this DVD for 2 years now, and I really feel better and can move more easily. I started to feel better the first week, and am now motivated to keep adding on to my practice. Kudos to Sarah!
