Yoga Emergency- The 12 Minute Workout with Kristen Eykel-Back Review
Kundalini yoga instructor and wellness consultant Kristen Eykel offers this short yoga routine for Back, one of five DVDs in her 12-Minute Yoga Emergency Series. The Back practice (alternatively titled "Mid & Low Back") is 12 minutes long, the majority of which is performed on the floor. Eykel begins in easy pose with a seated spinal rock forward and back. She continues with spinal circles before moving onto hands and knees for both cat/cow and lateral spinal bends. Down dog is next, with Eykel adding a bent-knee stretch (a.k.a. "crazy dog"); this is followed by a side stretch. Eykel then incorporates what appears to be a Kundalini yoga exercise, as it involves rolling up from a squat to a standing position several times. Standing, Eykel moves through hip circles, chest circles, and finally, an upright version of the spinal rock before concluding with "sat nam."
Following the yoga routine, there is an approximately 11-minute meditation for Back (about 2 minutes of guided relaxation continuing with 8 minutes of nature sounds) There are three Stressbusters on this DVD, each about a minute long: 1) Breathing, an overview of diaphragmatic breathing, 2) Gardening, extolling the benefits of gardening as a hobby, and 3) TV & Stress, which recommends avoiding TV at night in order to improve sleep. Overall, this Back DVD offers the option of a short yoga workout addressing an area that can often become problematic for many. Eykel does not necessarily include the same yoga postures that are often seen in other yoga DVDs targeted to the back (e.g., reclined leg stretch); perhaps because of her Kundalini background, the routine that she presents here is a bit more dynamic, yet still generally accessible for most levels.

Customer Reviews
Easy and relaxing Yoga - Jason Tucker - North Carolina
Usually yoga is a hard workout and even harder to stick with a routine. One of the great things about this series is the flexibility you get. The workouts are 12 minutes, and can be combined if you want a more in-depth routine, but if you are after a fast way to raise your metabolism and flexibility, then you only need 12 minutes at a time. The DVD also gives you different options for performing each difficult move, so for beginners like me, I can find a way to follow along without falling over :)
I have been using the whole set, and love it!
Great experience. Results in very short time. - Carolyn Staggs - La Jolla, CA
I tried this video and was very surprised at how quickly it eased my back pain. The moves were easy to do and didn't require a lot of investment in gear or time. It was a great solution for me and I have recommended it to others.
