Yoga instructor Barbara Benagh has practiced and taught yoga for nearly 35 years. She discovered yoga while living in England and began teaching there. She moved to Boston and opened The Yoga Studio on Beacon Hill in 1980.

In addition to her local classes Barbara teaches yoga seminars throughout the US and internationally. She is a regular contributor of articles to Yoga Journal magazine. She has several audio CDs of live classes available as well as DVDs, the latest being Yoga for Beginners released by Body + Soul magazine, and Yoga for Stress Relief that includes a discussion on meditation from the Dalai Lama.

Barbara was kind enough to answer some questions from Amazon.com about this unique line of yoga DVDs.


How are these DVDs different from other yoga DVDs?

I was drawn to working with Bodywisdommedia because they produce DVDs they are interactive. Rather than a "one size fits all" single routine that is typical of most products, these DVDs offer choice, allowing the user to customize and change their yoga practice to suit their needs. No two persons are the same so the ability to change your practice - easing shoulder tension one day and an invigorating morning wake up the next - come as close as possible to allowing you to address your individual needs at home. Not only do people have different physical needs, but they have different time constraints as well. If you have only 20 minutes, there is a practice for you but there are longer practices as well (some as long as 90 minutes) that address the total body/mind connection. The sheer number of yoga sequences offered on each of these DVDs is a first. They are incredibly comprehensive.

How were you able to get the Dalai Lama involved?

This project dovetailed perfectly with the Dalai Lama's message that modern stress is one of the greatest obstacles to our mental happiness and physical wellbeing. Because we are long-time sincere practitioners, having a 30-minute lecture of the Dalai Lama teaching how to meditate on the Yoga for Stress Relief DVD was a perfect fit. Bodywisdommedia also has a broader relationship with the Office of Tibet and are releasing historic lectures with "A Path to Happiness" being the first one.

How will potential buyers of these DVDs know which one is right for them?

The titles are very indicative of what appears on the DVD and therefore a good guide. I really enjoyed making Yoga for Stress Relief because it is incredibly relevant. We strove to make the sequences accessible to as many people as possible, whether they are a beginner or long time practitioner. Yoga for Beginners is a great, non-threatening place to get started and includes lots of sound technique developed over my 30 years as a yoga teacher. Power Yoga for Every Body is a bit more challenging taking you from the beginning level and gradually progressing to much more demanding routines.

5 out of 5 stars Finally, anxiety and insomnia relief!   August 28, 2010
Marc Matney (Oklahoma, USA)
A few years ago I developed severe anxiety and panic symptoms that nearly led to a home-bound case of agoraphobia. On the verge of losing my job and desperate for a cure I stumbled across this on Amazon and decided that at the price it was worth a shot. Within days of starting these routines my symptoms were drastically reduced, eventually to the point that I was able to handle my disorder without the use of medication. (This is in no way to discount the role of psychiatry/psychology in treating this disorder, I believe they are an integral part of overcoming it, but this DVD truly changed the course my life was on.) The breathing exercises help to retrain your breathing pattern, which in states of panic and anxiety are altered, and can be implemented quietly during your day to day life without drawing attention to yourself. I have even used them in business meetings and nobody has seemed to notice.

I have also battled insomnia. In my case it was simply not being able to 'turn my mind off' at night. Again, the insomnia portion of this DVD has been able to do what before only potentially addictive medicines had done for me, calm my mind to the point of sleep.

I can't recommend this DVD enough. Thanks to Barbara for putting together such an invaluable tool for anyone suffering from stress related issues.



5 out of 5 stars Versatile Effective DVD   August 28, 2010
Emma McGloster
Yoga is good for various things. Increasing flexibility and developing strength for instance.

But it is also really good with helping with other things and someone who really knows yoga can put things together in a way to help with various health issues - some things have been found to help people with headaches or sleep better.

This is what this DVD does, helps relieve stress that manifests itself various ways, insomnia, headaches, lower back pain and other items which have been mentioned.

I have found it extremely good in what it does and use this often to help or maintain the benefits I have gotten so far.
