Advantages: physical and mental improvement Disadvantages: must be practiced every day
I practice Yoga for three years and here you will read what my impression is.
Yoga is a way of life. Yoga is for people who want to improve their selves physically and mentally. If your goal is to lose weight and improve physical condition only and you don?t want to change anything related with your mind then you will find that Yoga is boring.
There is a big difference between doing something with and without awareness. Yoga helps us to aware our actions, our body and our mind.
One very easy example so that you understand the difference between the ordinary physical exercise and Yoga:
-turn your right ankle ten times on the left as fast as you want .. this is ordinary physical exercise
-close your eyes, feel your right ankle, take a deep breath, turn it tem times on the left very slowly, take a breath when it goes up ...

Advantages: Great acting Disadvantages: Abit depressing but with lighter parts
This Steve Buschemi's debut as writer and director. Made in 1996 it is a relatively unknown film but was a critcal if not commercial succes for Buschemi
The film is about an alcoholic named Tommy (Steve Bushemi), the film starts and he is trying to wangle one more drink out of the barmaid 15 minutes after 'time'. The barmaid Connie(played by Carol Kane - Hester Street, Taxi) is obviously familiar and serves him with Tommy, which is an interesting tenet to the film as everyone knows everyone in this small suburb and everyone knows Tommy and he seems to recoil from it in shame. The bar 'Trees Lounge' is always populated by Tommy, an elderly alcoholic Bobby and another successful alcoholic Mike (Mark Boone Junior - Batman Begins, Lonesome Jim) Tommy starts to form a friendship with Mike thinks he is a looser. Mike is a strange character ...
Advantages: Useful for everyone regardless of age Disadvantages: None
Yoga was Developed in India, it is a psycho-physical discipline with roots going back to more than 5,000 years...The word "Yoga" means union.
Yoga has four paths according to the Shastras or the Knowledge books...JNANA (knowledge or wisdom), Bhakti ( Devotion)
Karma ( Action) , and Raja ( Self control)...
ABOUT THE DVD
If one is interested and serious about taking up Yoga then this is the right DVD to get one started..The video demonstrates the basic postures or asanas clearly and gives tips on getting them right....
This DVD is perfect for Beginners and especially for those over 40, as many of the other 'ASANAS or Postures, mentioned in most other DVDs are meant for younger and fitter people...whereas the Aasanas shown here are easy to follow for anyone regardless of age...
The instructions by the Yoga Master is very helpful ...
