Sitting Fit Anytime: Easy & Effective Chair Yoga (DVD) Reviews:
Sitting Fit - Chair yoga 
2009-11-03 - Very good and well done
Not boring and gets good workout
I am in my late 50's with low back problems and find laying down hard for me . This really has helped me get a work out and relax with meditative hints as well
Stretch & Strengthen from the Comfort of Your Chair 
2009-01-15 - It's possible to get the benefits of yoga without ever leaving your chair.
In Sitting Fit Anytime, Certified Anusara Yoga Teacher, Susan Winter Ward, guides you through simple effective seated exercises that are perfect if you have limited mobility or want to do a little yoga at your desk. All the yoga stretches, which are done from the comfort of your chair, will help relieve stress and tension and improve circulation while building strength and flexibility.
The DVD includes nine 3 to 5 minute segments that focus on:
*Breathing
*Head, Neck & Shoulders
*Hands & Wrists
*Arms & Upper Back
*Hips & Lower Back
*Hamstrings & Forward Bends
*Abdominals
*Feet
*Meditation
There is nothing particularly exciting or sexy about this DVD. The set is simple - just Susan seated in an over-sized ladder back chair demonstrating each pose while she provides detailed verbal instruction in a calm and soothing manner. The set backdrop suggests blue sky and clouds, while subtle flute/guitar music plays quietly in the background. This DVD is also available in a CD-Rom with screen saver format designed to prompt you to take intermittent yoga at your desk breaks.
This Chair yoga DVD is a great way to get introduced to the benefits of yoga from the comfort of your chair or desk. Don't be put off by the introduction where Susan is shown doing more advanced yoga poses with the chair as a prop. Nothing closely resembling these moves is included in the instructional portion of the DVD.
Highly recommended, especially for those with limited mobility who want to experience the benefits of yoga.
Something to Get Me Motivated
2007-11-29 - [[ASIN:B000VUWWIC Yoga For The Young at Heart - Sitting Fit Anytime - Yoga For The Young at Heart DVDs] This finally got me moving to loose my Obese statise. We are RVers, and this allows stretching and exercise in the travel trailer without any equipment. It also givea me a break when we are on the road as some of these poses can be done while in the truck. Keeps me from being bored and from getting stiff.
Thank you for a grand idea.
The Best Of The Alternatives
2007-01-31 - I was a dancer and dance instructor for thirty years. I was a certified Iyengar Yoga instructor. I was an aerobics champion. Past tense. I'm now fifty-seven and have had two heart attacks, have SVTach, and am now nearly housebound with Meniere's Disease (including violent vertigo), and several herniated discs in my back. In short, I'm a wreck.
I own about two dozen tapes/DVDs for the old, infirm, and otherwise jacked-up. This DVD is the only one I use. It gives me a nice workout, but allows me the much-needed security of either sitting in or hanging onto a chair. Movements are explained well and demonstrated clearly. The Yoga instructor knows what she's doing and how to make exercising tolerable for those of us who can't participate in "real" Yoga.
All all-around great DVD.
Imagine the yoga positions - but on a chair. 
2006-11-21 - If you are a yoga master, this is the tape for you. Why, you'll sit in the full lotus position not on a comfy mat but on a chair. Yes, that should be easier! Well, I've got to say that my friend and I, who work out together and have the same physical limitations, had a wonderous rolling-in-the-floor laugh over this one, so for that it has value. This is really geared for the average to above average in fitness who have a very good sense of balance. Too tough for us, but we'll save it just for the inspiration. She was able to do some amazing things.
