Excellent and highly recommended, 2008-07-01
My husband and I have been doing this practice for a while and we both love it. Gary Kraftsow's voice and instruction are very clear, understandable and unambiguous. There is no distracting music. The setting is pleasant with simplicity, not distracting or gimmicky. The people doing the movements follow Gary Kraftsow's cues along with the viewer at home. Their movements demonstrate what is being cued but they are not like choreographed ballet dancers or gymnasts; they are obviously experienced yoga practitioners but one can identify with them and thus be open to learning from their demonstrations. The pace is very good for allowing understanding of the movement and the breath. The practices are vigorous but when finished one is very relaxed and the areas of concentration (in this DVD it's the low back, sacrum and hips) feel relaxed and much improved, where there might have been problems before. This is becoming our favorite yoga practice and we recommend this viniyoga DVD most highly, as well as Gary Kraftsow's other viniyoga DVD for shoulders, upper back and neck - also excellent. It is a joy to have found these DVDs. We are very grateful to Mr. Kraftsow for developing these practices and to all who are responsble for making these available.

Effective - Calmed my back pain after one session, 2008-06-24
This is an effective program for eradicating back pain. After one twenty minute session I was able to sleep through the night without being awakened by the back pain that has plagued me for months.

While this DVD does not have the fantastic music and interesting back drops as some of my favorite yoga DVDs it, along with Viniyoga Therapy for the Upper Back, Neck and Shoulders, has exactly what I need: a comprehensive back pain relieving program. And, really, that matters more than anything else!

I was pleased to see easily accessible technique instructions for each pose. I didn't find it necessary for most poses, but was very thankful to have it for the few poses I felt I wasn't doing 100% correctly. At the end of the technique instructions I was taken back to where I'd left off in the program. It would be fantastic if more yoga DVDs had this feature!

The DVD comes with an MP3 for each of the three practices on the DVD with the verbal instructions for each pose, making it simple to do the yoga practices when you're away from a DVD player.

Fantastic product, 2008-06-22
I cannot say enough about this DVD. It has gotten me out of pain, and I never thought that was possible. I highly recommend it to people that have tried and failed to heal their pain. The instruction is fantastic and really geared toward caring for your pain. Love it, love it.

not bad, 2008-06-05
The video is more suitable for people with less active life style. There are three exercise sessions in this video, each one is roughly 30 minutes long. It is recommended that you'd better get used to the first two exercises before doing the strongest one. They have positive effects and the instruction is clear. But in my experience, they are all too light.

Not exactly what you expect, 2008-05-11
I thought from reading all of the positive reviews and really no negatives that this was exactly the product that I was looking for.
I was in a car accident over a year ago and have 2 herniated discs and a messed up pelvis/sacrum. I have done constant therapy for the whole year with three different people. It could always get me better to a certain point and then I would backslide all the way back to where I started. I was told by an orthopedic doctor that I needed to have a sacroiliac fusion. You are out of commision for three months. That is not very appealing. I ordered this video hoping that it would work and it basically just offers stretching excercises that my PT already had me doing so it really did not help me. I think for some people it probably works well I am just usually the exception to the rule. I am going to try Prolotherapy next hopefully that will give me some relief.
