Wonderful!
I have enjoyed all of Barbara's yoga DVDs--her gentle demeanor and knowledge of yoga's benefits and correct form are a welcome addition to my yoga practice. This DVD is no exception. In addition to an interview with Barbara, there are six routines of varying lengths presented:

-General Revitalizing Back Care (40 Minutes)
-Neck Care (40 Minutes)
-Lumbar Care (20 Minutes)
-Sciatica Relief (35 Minutes)
-Scoliosis Routine (25 Minutes)
-Rest & Restore (25 Minutes)

The entire DVD was filmed in the vicinity of Glacier National Park, so while you are strengthening your back and learning more about the causes of back pain, you can enjoy the beautiful and relaxing mountain scenery. Highly recommended!

Excellent instruction...
Barbara is an excellent instructor and gives a lot of thought to her routines. Her "Yoga for Athletes" DVD is still my favorite because it is put together a pose at a time and is really suitable for anyone... not just athletes. This Back Care DVD is perfect for specific area focus and time limits... add it to your library!
