Review Mind, Body And Spirit - Eating Well For Optimum Health / Body and Spirit Collection Mind:Eating Well for Optimum Health takes the form of a cleverly structured lecture, set in the lush conservatory of the New York Botanical Gardens. Those unfamiliar with lecturer Dr Andrew Weil take note: if there is one expert who makes sense on the subject of health and nutrition it's this jovial American. Fans of the bestselling author, currently clinical professor of internal medicine at the University of Arizona, as well as director of its Program in Integrative Medicine, will lap this up. Weil covers plenty of ground, delivering constant information, yet without ever overloading the viewer. What's most appealing is his emphasis on eating being fun and sociable, as well as being a tool for managing health and disease. Beyond that he explains complicated issues in simple words. Myths regarding fat, confusion surrounding carbohydrates and proteins, how to read labels, supplements, crazy nutritional philosophies to avoid, and how to plan an optimum diet-Weil runs through it all in such a compelling manner that you can watch this over and over. Somehow, every sentence is a gem. Obviously his medical background, the fact that he trains doctors in nutrition and his up-to-date research, contribute to his knowledge and style: even junk-food addicts will warm to him. Here is an expert who wants us to enjoy food. [+]

Review Mind, Body And Spirit - Meditation Tools - Forest / Body and Spirit Collection Mind:As Meditation Tools-Forest begins, you may think they've repackaged Meditation Tools-Sky into a forest by adding a few trees. Featuring the best soundtrack in this series of meditation tools, this journey develops from clouds and the tops of trees, to a deeper forest, to denser foliage, accompanied by intriguing sounds of birds. But whether it's likely to enhance one's meditation is debateable. Unfortunately there isn't enough to make this so compelling that you wouldn't stop the video to answer the telephone, get up to make a cup of tea, or go and load the washing machine. If your intention is to learn how to relax this could be beneficial as it will inspire you to go for a walk to the park to be with some real trees instead of staring at them on a TV screen for 45 minutes. Encouraging meditation-the practice of emptying the mind-through a video format requires a strong focus to keep the viewer hooked and meandering through trees just isn't enough. -Lorna V.

Review Gaiam Yoga - Conditioning For Sports / Universal Pictures UK:It's certainly refreshing to see that lifestyle specialists Gaiam have recognised that the stark division between those who do yoga and those who choose the gym or other sports need not be rigid, and that practising one does not preclude the other. Yoga Conditioning for Sport is not only a satisfying yoga session in itself, it will certainly improve any other fitness pursuit. The tanned and athletic-looking Rodney Yee is one of the leading yoga authorities in the world. He has designed an opening warm-up which works on the spine, hip-joints and shoulders, a conditioning body work-out which improves all-round flexibility and strength, and a final "mindful" cool-down. Yee's instructions are minimal yet precise. While hyper-active gym fanatics might find the pace slow initially, Yee's hypnotic voice, along with his regular focus on the body and sport-opening up tight spots, finding the centre, focusing concentration- provide the necessary motivation. Sufficient close-up shots of the other two sporty-looking teachers enable following the session at different levels. In addition to a simple all round sequence, Patricia Walden's additional workout consists of a wonderful introduction about her own discovery of yoga, training with BKS Iyengar himself and the impact yoga can make on oneself. For those new to yoga, start with this before following the main programme. -Lorna V.
