Summary: Extremely Gentle--Almost Too Much So
Comment: Perhaps this DVD is geared towards those in lesser physical shape, but for me this DVD was too gentle. I did find my muscles weren't as tight after the neck and shoulder routine, but I craved a deeper stretch for the majority of the routine. I have several other more powerful yoga DVDs I use for fitness, so my take on it might be altered. This DVD may still be good for those new to yoga.

Summary: I can see using this therapy for life!
Comment: I have suffered with neck and shoulder pain for years. When two back to back Hurricanes hit us, it really flared up. My whole back was hurting and I was very stiff with no sign of relief. While searching on Amazon.com, I saw and decided to try Viniyoga for the upper back, neck and shoulders. I first used the 32 minute routine and could tell immediately that it would help. I have used the therapy at least five times a week for the last three weeks. It feels as if my posture is improving. I have much less pain and I have high hopes that continued use of this will make a huge difference in my life. I am now using the 40 minute session any day that I have the time and either the 22 or 32 minute session if I have less time. They are all great for posture and mobility. I was surprised at how much lower back stretching is involved with this. I feel that it is wonderful at working the "core" as well as releasing the shoulders, neck and upper back. The instruction is detailed which makes it easier to do correctly. It is enjoyable to use this therapy.

Summary: Better than daily massage
Comment: I have struggled with neck and shoulder pain for years due to daily computer work. This video is more helpful than any physical therapy, chiropratic session and massage therapy I have tried. My back feels relaxed and rejuvenated every time I do it and the reduction in discomfort lasts far longer than any other treatment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great video!!!
Comment: I purchased the Viniyoga therapy for back, neck and shoulders because I have chronic pain in that area.
I was excited to see such a video existed. I really love it. It's easy to follow and to do the poses. I feel great when I am done. My doctor has recommended yoga for me everyday to minimize my pain. I will use this specific video along with a general yoga video.
Customer Rating:
Summary: 5 Star Plus
Comment: I am a former client and student of Gary's. His methodology and sequencing is timeless, effective, and motivational. Originally, I studied with Gary for low back. When faced with Neck Rehab for multiple neck problems related to aging, I remembered Gary had done this DVD. I chose to fore go Neck Rehab and resume Viniyoga .This DVD is the best investment in myself I could have made. I have progressed further in 1 week of doing the sequences Gary presents than I did in several weeks of PT prior to a cervical epidural. The integrity of Viniyoga shines brightly in this well-done DVD. Mahalo to Gary and the production staff.
