Tai Chi works for my Fibromyalgia
I suffer with Fibromyalgia which is chronic muscle pain. I enjoy this particulare teaching tool because the product allows me to work at a slow pace or a more acclerated pace depending on my pain level. The instructor encourages me to work within my own skill set. Anna York's own physcial limitations and challenges gives me on going belief that perserverance is the key to Success. I observe her Positive Attitude as she works through the movements and I stay encouraged to do the same. I like the style in which the DVD is broken up because it allows me to work on Specific techniques whenever I am unable to complete all seven days at one workout.This DVD is an inspriation to me as a person struggling daily with physical challenges. GREAT JOB!! Thank You Anna York, Estraleta Jones
Love this video!
This is my first real experience with this type of exercise, but now it is a something I look forward to on a regular basis, and I don't even have to leave home to do it! I really appreciate Anna's clear descriptions of the all of the movements, so it is easy for me to follow along. The music and her calm voice help to make this a relaxing experience as well as beneficial exercise. The beautiful and serene landscape pictures with Anna exercising are also helpful for me in seeing each move individually, thus helping me improve my technique. The video is easy to navigate through, so I can practice more on different areas of need.
I appreciated seeing people participating in ways that are appropriate for their physical capabilities--sitting or standing. I can definitely see the benefits for people with a variety of disabilities, and although I'm not disabled--just getting older!-- these exercises are really helping to loosen my muscles, give me more flexibility and balance as...
Meaningful, sincere and helpful
What I like the best about this DVD is that it comes from someone who really knows what she is talking about. We see many Tai Chi/Qi Gong instructors who teach it without having personally experienced how it has dramatically improved their health, and changed their lives forever. Anna York, on the other hand, who I think is one of the very few survivors of multiple sclerosis in the world, uses her own story to try to help others achieve that same healing, whether it is from multiple sclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, or for just plain general well being; she does it in a caring, clear, graceful manner. I highly recommend this DVD to everyone, irrespective of age, gender, and level of physical mobility. As someone who uses this regularly, I can only say that it has helped me tremendously to get into, and stay with a regimen of exercises that works well for someone in her late 50s.
