Stressed Out--This Really Helps!
Lately I've been stressed to the max with work, the economy, you name it, I'm stressed about it. The great reviews here sealed the deal--I ordered it. Never having practiced meditation before, I liked that people said good things about the short yoga portion and the body awareness exercise.

Holy cow, this DVD was amazing. I liked that the yoga portion was short, and the stretches weren't impossible to do. The body awareness was very calming and relaxing, which prepares you for the third and final portion, the actual meditation practice (the guide, a French-born Yoga and Meditation instructor with a rockin' body has a very calming and relaxing voice, instructing "when your mind wanders, gently pull it back") is super.

I now do this DVD 3-4 times a week and it gets better each time. It has relieved my stress, helped me sleep better, and not be so short with my husband. Well worth it! Highly, highly recommended.

Doesn't wind up in the back of the closet....
I was VERY reluctent to try meditation and did a lot of research before I settled on Maritza. This tape converted me the first time I watched it. Maritza is a phenomenal teacher and everytime I do the tape I feel refreshed and incrediby relaxed and I am not someone who can doze off easily. Also, this program is addictive. It hasn't wound up in the back of the closet because it really works.

So soothing!
I purchased the DVD to teach me simple yoga positions since my first intro to yoga has been power yoga and I am struggling. Maritza's voice is wonderful and the pace is so relaxing. I use the body scan meditation at bedtime and do the seated meditation in the a.m. SHort attention theater here! Have a hard time as a newbie staying put for 20 min. I find the body scan an easier way to stay in the moment. I am very greatful to the other reviews which helped me select this. And, yes. My BP is down.

Good Start
It really is a great intro to meditation. The instructor, Maritza, takes you through a short yoga routine and progressive relaxation. I've tried several other DVD's (Rodney Yee and others) and this is by far one of the better places to start. The only thing that I didn't like about it is that when Maritza is meditating, her head bobbles like a bobble head and it's distracting (doesn't look very peaceful).

student of maritza..
I have been a student of Maritza's and I can tell you that she is the real deal! An excellent teacher and she does in fact "practice what she preaches". You will not be dissapointed!
