Geri Yoga (DVD)

...:o( My son gave Geri Yoga to me for Christmas. He didn’t get it because he thought I was a Spice Girl or a Geri fan, but because he knows what I’m like where exercise is concerned. I would like to describe it to you, so here goes: THE PRESENTATION ******************** The casing shows a picture of Geri Halliwell in a black top and hipster shorts with the title, and a little addendum at the bottom that says “with Katy Appleton”. It is stylish ...
...the tape starts here with Geri extolling the virtues of Yoga and listing the benefits she has noticed in her life so far. Katy Appleton, who is a former dancer with the English National Ballet, then gives her introduction, which includes pointers, advice and tips on breathing. WARM UP : Starting with some breathing, and the really hilarious Lion’s Pose (I bet you can’t do it without laughing), we are then led into a simple warm up for beginners, ...

Review of Geri Yoga (DVD)

...started practising yoga last January. Geri yoga was the first yoga DVD that I brought, and it offered a good introduction to many of the yoga postures. The introduction is useful to learn the breathing, and principles behind yoga. For the first few weeks (and months) flexibility was a major obstacle. However, if you listen to your body, and only do as much as you can without pushing yourself, then your overall fitness level will improve from yoga. ...
...before you start practising, and Geri yoga was not designed for pregnant women. Geri yoga is a good introduction to yoga, and a good reference for posture. I recommend this to beginners, but not advanced students. The DVD concentrates on the easier postures of yoga, and also introduces the sun salutation. A big problem with this DVD is that it is rather disjointed. The section “Geri’s postures” is a series of poses one after the ...

Review of Geri Yoga (DVD)

...approx 112 mins and features Geri Halliwell, her yoga trainer Katy Appleton, and a lady called Kim who does the less advanced stuff. I bought this video from a charity shop for 50p, and having used one of Barbara Currie's yoga videos for some time and found it beneficial, I thought I would give it a go. The video takes you through 6 stages - warm up, advanced warm up, sun-warm up (also advanced), geri postures (yes she does), relaxation and geri ...
...doing the class along with Geri and all the while she is doing the less advanced moves so that mere mortals know what they are supposed to be doing. Unlike many other exercise videos, Katy spends a lot of time with the mere mortal, often leaving Geri standing on her head for many minutes while she carefully explains moves and postures. The warm ups are good, beginning with the easy one that anyone of any age and flexibility will be able to do, progressing ...

Review of Geri Yoga (DVD)

I bought Geri yoga not knowing what to expect and also to learn about yoga. I have been wanting to do yoga for ages but never had time to go to classes or actually no anywhere that did them. There are different types of yoga so I didn't have a clue about it. Before even watching this video all I knew was that yoga was to get you in tune with your mind and body and to relax you, to get away from your stress for a while and it can also help your health. ...
...and although the video is Geri yoga, Geri isn't teaching the yoga she is just in the background demonstrating what Katy is telling her. Geri says that she started yoga out because of a friend telling her about it. She then went along to classes and liked it realising her freedom. She said she was addicted and got bored easily but with yoga it was different and she changed teachers until finally she stuck with Katy who she felt was her best teacher. ...

Review of Geri Yoga (DVD)

Geri Yoga. If you do not know who Geri is then read my opinion on her. Go on! When I bought this video I was doubtful that it would make me feel better about my body. But time has shown and I have been proved wrong. I now do this video twice a week and enjoy it. Yoga helps you feel good about yourself, relax, and feel healthier. This video is fantastic for all ages and all levels of fitness. Regardless of your shape and size yoga can help you feel ...
...Warm Up (advanced) · Geri Postures · Relaxation Then there’s a part called Geri Talks. She tells you about her diet and her ways of losing weight. Also she talks you through yoga. Im, personally, not a very bendy person but I found this video very easy to do and it’s also helped me to lose weight. Now I wouldn’t be able to live without this video and I strongly suggest buying it if your looking for a new form of weight loss. Running time: 112 minutes ...

Review of Geri Yoga (DVD)

...yoga about 6 months ago. Geri yoga was a wonderful introduction to the world of yoga. It has a great guide with information on some of the core principles of yoga. Over the first few months of yoga practice, this really helped me to overcome some of the major obstacles in my abilities. (Mainly flexibility) When I started Geri yoga in January, I couldn’t do quite a few of the postures. When I tried the headstand, I toppled over, and I found ...
...I would recommend Geri Yoga to anyone interested in wanting to learn yoga. However, I would not recommend this to more advanced students. The workouts involved do concentrate on more of the easier postures of yoga and the sun salutation. Although they may still find it useful when they want to do yoga but do not want to work hard. This covers a large range of postures from easy postures like corpse pose, tree pose... to slightly more advanced postures ...

Review of Geri Yoga (DVD)

...do them correctly, Along with Geri doing the more advanced postures there is another lady who beginners can follow, which is great. Unfortunately though Geri seems to talk quite a lot to the point when I did shout at the TV telling her to shut up, especially when you are trying to stay calm and relaxed. Overall though it is a brilliant DVD and I can recommend it unless you don't like the sound of Geri's voice. ...
