(((suzy))) my condolences on your losses. prayers to you and your family.
I've been meditating, which has resulted in much success in the stress relief department, and lots of yin yoga over the past month or so. I do yin yoga every night before bed, either Paul Grilley or Mark Laham. for meditation, I found several CDs at the library, including meditation for dummies (with CD) and self hypnosis for dummies (w/CD), jack kornfield, Sharon salzberg, Andrew weil (breathwork and many others), and Dr. Mehmet & Lisa Oz - - - all CDs w/guided meditations. again, my condolences to you.

I am so sorry to hear about everything you've been going through... I wanted to second/third the suggestions for Barbara Benagh -- almost anything she's put out on DVD with Bodywisdom is a good choice. Wonderful practices that move at a deliberate pace, excellent instruction. Rodney Yee's AM Yoga for Beginners is another solid DVD on this front. Godspeed... Stay strong and don't forget to take care of yourself while taking care of others.

Hugs to you, Suzy. My condolences on such profound losses in such a short time.
I second everyone's suggestions for Y4SR with Barbara Benagh, which is one of the best all around DVD's I know to equally address relaxation and strengthening. Her narration and voice are also very soothing. Jill Miller's DVDs, like Yoga Tuneup, is very solid material for strengthening, and can be modified if you're coming back from a long break, BUT her personality is not for everbody. It's worth checking out on Youtube first. I'm glad Classical stretch is working for you, I would have suggested it if you hadn't already said you were using it. If you feel like you need more strength, I have found that Sahra's Essentrics series increases the intensity a bit. Wishing you continued strength and resilience, and please keep us updated on how you're doing.
