1992 VHS • Basic Yoga 60 FPS

About

Basic Yoga is a yoga instruction video running approximately one hour and five minutes, hosted by Nancy Leland, Director of Teaching of the American Yoga Association. The program covers classical yoga techniques including 18 warm-up and exercise movements, a complete breath technique, relaxation, and meditation, followed by a combined 30-minute class session practiced alongside other students.

Leland opens with guidance on clothing, mat use, and a note that women should skip the full exercise routine during menstruation and proceed to breathing and meditation instead. The instruction segment is organized into warm-ups, exercises, complete breath, relaxation and meditation, and a special limbering routine for viewers who are initially too stiff for the full class. Warm-up exercises demonstrated include the shoulder roll, arm roll, neck roll, and full bend, each with detailed form instructions and modifications for high blood pressure or neck problems.

Exercise instruction covers precise step-by-step directions intended for daily repetition until memorized before joining the 30-minute class. The lazy stretch is among the exercises shown in the mid-program limbering section, pairing knee bends with spinal arching and leg extension. The program closes with the 30-minute class session, ending in extended meditation with repeated Aum vocalization.
