Honorable Men Review



Honorable Men a police drama that gives the feel of watching a reality based
tv show. It has the slant of a foreign film rarely seen in the US.
The acting is real, the characters could be your next door nieghbors.
A true look a life.




Honorable Men Overview


Drug investigator Ryan Smith faces the toughest decision of his life, a choice between love and honor. Ryan finds out that the woman he loves, Mandy, is involved with the same drug dealers he is arresting.

The influence of another woman's love, and the cataclysmic climax of high risk drug raid brings the movie to a stunning turning point. Can Casey's love pull him away from the confused but alluring Mandy?

The heart-pumping action of gunfights, SWAT-raids and car chases pauses just long enough for a captivating romance set in the middle of this action movie about the take down of a drug king pin.

Save yourself the money and just order a pizza - C. ahmann - virginia
First of all let me say that I did not buy this dvd I had a friend get me a copy from the local college which is where "Ryan" worked as a teacher. So lets start with who is the girl on the cover? Did you see her for even one second in the movie because last time I checked SHE WASNT IN IT. That should hint to you the lack of intelligence that was put into this movie. I could point out atleast 200 things wrong or incredibly stupid in the film. For example, one of the most unreal scenes being the drive by with a musket scene. A MUSKET. For all that is holy where did they get the funding for this movie?!? Who let these people out into the open and thought it was ok. The sad reality is that everyone involved in this movie probably thought their careers were going to take off, especially goofus boy on the cover there. So if you're looking for a laugh then yes, please watch but its not worth . Find someone who has it because god knows we dont need a part two coming out.






Honorable Men - A. Tambascia - Boston, MA
I rather liked the movie. I thought that the movie and the music that was in the movie was pretty decent.



It IS a good movie! - Kenneth Goldberg - Virginia, USA
I very much enjoyed "Honorable Men." I found it just the right balance between drama/romance and action. The music was excellent and left me singing "No, I'm not a hero" for days. I would highly recommend this film.

Check Out The Total-Body Yoga Workout: Lower Body, Abs, and Upper Body Yoga for Beginners for $19.98

The Total-Body Yoga Workout: Lower Body, Abs, and Upper Body Yoga for Beginners Review



I bought this years ago & though they are a bit hard for those who are out of shape, I wouldn't recommend them for novices, but they are still beginner level in terms of physical/flexibility level.
The lower body is with Susanne Season. The music is light, the scene is her near the edge of a cliff with gorgeous mountain range behind her. She is alone & there is no modifications.
There is no sun salutations, but a lot of downward dog, standing fwd bends, chair & mountain. Add is lunges, hand/knee with arm/leg balance, donward dog with 1 leg lifted, plank, upward dog, warrior 1 2 & 3, triangle, side angle, half moon, dancer's pose, bridge, reclined single leg stretch, boat, sitting fwd bend, wide legged fwd bend, reclined cobblers, etc.
If you own several yoga dvds, the pace is not power fast, she holds it about 2 full breaths. I loved the workout though, there are many poses were if you do too many sun salutations, you never have time for many other poses.

You can see a preview at gaiam com any media product you see yoga lower body w/susanne in a mountain range, yoga abs with rodney yee in a desert or upperbody yoga with rodney in a valley.




The Total-Body Yoga Workout: Lower Body, Abs, and Upper Body Yoga for Beginners Overview


Living Yoga succeeds in re-creating its superb yoga programs for DVD with the three-in-one workout The Total-Body Yoga Workout, which combines the individual body part programs on one disc.

The first workout, Lower Body Yoga for Beginners, led by Suzanne Deason, is a fun, short routine that will help you to invigorate and stretch the lower body in a series of flowing postures, working to stretch, tone, and challenge one's muscles and balance. In the second segment, Rodney Yee leads Abs Yoga for Beginners, which is designed to firm and strengthen your abs while providing a soothing respite from your hectic lifestyle. The poses are, for the most part, simple to follow, although the beginner may need to ease into some of the positions. Finally, Yee leads us through Upper Body Yoga for Beginners, a workout that will stretch, strengthen, and energize the upper body. Yee flows through poses designed to develop an open, supported chest, which in turn promotes healthy circulation, breathing, digestion, and posture. For all of these programs, a firm blanket to sit upon is needed.

The extra features on this disc are the same as those on The All-Day Yoga Workout. Once again, the DVD format is ideal for a workout program--the chapter search makes it easy to skip the introduction and jump right into the body work. Or if you're short on time and just need to relax, you can move directly to the meditations. An extra feature, "Learning the Basics," has pictures of every pose with written instructions on how to do them, which is just the thing for beginners who feel befuddled when told to do a cow-face pose or gate pose. A section on props explains how to use straps, bricks, and mats in order to modify more difficult poses for less limber bodies. Finally, the interviews with Suzanne Deason, Patricia Walden, and Rodney Yee round out the DVD, making for a full program. This is the ultimate introduction to yoga; it's a workout regimen that's easy to incorporate into your daily life and fun enough to convince you to stick with it. --Jenny Brown

Great variety! - A. Ortiz - San Diego, CA United States
I've had this DVD for a long time, and I use it periodically when I need a good stretch, and can't go to the gym. I wouldn't call this a beginner workout, but its not difficult and easy to follow if you're familiar with the positions. I also like that's its easy to do if you don't have a lot of time with 3 different 20 minute workouts. I would recommend it!



Great workout, stress release. - Marisa C. -
I love this workout dvd! It's a perfect way to release stress and achieve a more calm state. The breathing techniques are amazing and I find myself using them throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this dvd to everyone.






I love the lower body workout!! - Kite Flyer - annapolis, MD
I am not a beginner by any means. I have been studying various forms of yoga for 10-plus years. I had no idea this was a beginners workout when I did it and would never recommend this for beginners.
It has, however, a very lovely, inspiring, effective, lower body workout that I plan to do often. Suzanne Deason is wonderful. Her exercising on the edge of a cliff is a bit terrifying to watch and I don't generally like yoga DVDs with "scenery" but this one works. I skip the Rodney Yee portion because he is not my favorite instructor though, of course, this is just personal preference!

Jillian Michaels: Yoga Meltdown Review



I enjoy variety, which includes Jillian's bootcamp style workouts, pilates, dance and yes, yoga. Now, if you are looking for a complete mind/body yoga that works your muscles and calms your mind this is not it. This is like yoga bootcamp. Jillian takes classic poses, downward dog, camel, triangle, boat, warrior and the like and "reps it out", meaning she does repetitions, then she holds the poses for about 15 seconds. This brings more cardio to the moves and then the strength comes in having to hold the pose.

I didn't go into this for a calm, zen-like yoga practice-truly, are you buying Jillian for her zen-line persona, or because you know she is going to work you until you drop? I have plenty of dvds by Shiva Rea, Sara Ivanhoe, Brian Kest, Erich Schiffman & Alan Finger to do a more traditional practice. With Jillian I expect for her to be "outside the box" and to kick my butt and make it challenging. I thought it was fun to use the basic yoga poses to build a more powerful cardio workout. Is it for yoga purists, absolutely not. Is it fun for a different kind of work out that works your arms, core, butt and legs. Absolutely.

The dvd has two workouts-level one and level two. Both are a little over 30 minutes long. Level one is supposed to be the "easier" of the two workouts, but I find the plank positions to be more challenging for me and did a bit better on the second workout that had more core and balancing postures.

If you are bored with your workouts and want to try something new, this is a fun one to try-the only thing you need is a sticky (yoga) mat and you are on your way. I would rate this as an intermediate workout, with a couple more advanced poses (crow, wheel) thrown in toward the end. If you are not up to the more advanced poses, you can take this to a strictly beginner level by following the person to the right that is modifying the moves, or the person to the left if you are looking to take it up a notch.

All in all, a good workout~

A softer side of Jillian - CaraDawn - Houston, TX
Over the past year I have grown to love yoga but I have never really liked yoga dvd's. I have Jillian's 30 Day Shred and I think it gives me a great quick workout but I was skeptical of how she would be on a yoga dvd. I was pleasantly surprised by Jillian's attitude on this dvd; she was calm and extremely encouraging. There is a little less yoga than I would like and a little more strength training moves but this would be great for someone just beginning yoga. It's a quick workout and of course there are variations of each exercise given. If you are looking for a little more movement than your normal yoga class you will really like her dvd. I love to use it as a cool down/stretch after running.






Good but not real yoga - Coco - Chicago, IL
I really like Jillian. I have a bunch of her other stuff and I think she is a great motivator. I bought this DVD just b/c I love her other workouts. Her workouts are the only workouts that I do at home where I really break a sweat. I have practiced yoga casually for about 8 years now. I have to say that this workout is tough and challenging but it's NOT yoga. She is obviously not a yoga instructor, which is fine but this can be particularly dangerous for those who have never practiced these yoga poses. One thing that bothered me is that she she is very focused a good challenge and not quite interested in the pose/counterpose practice. This is essential when you are doing intense backbends and fwd bends.
If you've practiced yoga before and you like Jillian and/or her workouts, then you'll like this. Otherwise, proceed with caution.



better than expected - Amy Courtnage -
I also own JM's 30 day shred video. it was very hard for me to get into that one. i got this one because it seemed like a great body weight training video. #1 plus would be i can actually do all of the routine! you can definitely feel it in your upper body, mostly shoulders and upper back muscles as well as throughout your hips and abs. Hopefully i can stay motivated to continue my workouts and see results :)

The Direction of Yoga As a Form of Therapy

How can we expect Yoga to be recognized as a viable therapy, along side traditional western medicine? Much like many of the other holistic approaches to health, Yoga is not backed by any "deep pockets" of financial power, in comparison to Fortune 500 companies and the International corporate giants.

In contrast to Yoga, the pharmaceutical lobby is composed of the paid representatives of huge biomedicine corporations, who definitely influence government policies. Yoga has no influence over governments outside of India.

Most Yoga teachers, studios, and ashrams cannot afford to pay for one impartial study to be performed. Yoga does not qualify as an irritation to the eyes of the pharmaceutical lobby. Biomedicine corporations annually pay millions of dollars in research and development of their products.

One might say: "Yoga has no chance of recognition as a genuine therapy, because it has no major financial backing." Add to this, the lack of medical studies on a 5,000 year old health maintenance system has not added to the credibility of Yoga as a viable therapy.

Yet, all is not lost. Students of Yoga tend to tell their friends, family, co-workers, and anyone who will listen about the benefits of steady practice. Their reason is based on results, which they personally see and feel from the continued systematic training in a science of life we know as: "Yoga."

This has led to a "grass roots" level promotion of Yoga. Occasionally, a university might receive a grant to run a study about the effectiveness of Yoga on people who have a particular ailment. The end results are usually the same: Yoga is helpful in many areas of health because it approaches the whole being.

For example: If you have a knee problem, Yoga approaches the knee and the rest of your body, as well. Many of us have learned this first hand, because our ailments practically drove us to our first Yoga class. The results are: We keep coming back to class because Yoga helped us.

How can Yoga or any alternative therapy become recognized for its true worth? As already stated, funding for independent trials, research, and studies usually requires a large financial investment. This indicates that Yoga will go through many more years of research before gaining formal medical or scientific recognition.

There may be a few companies that manage to profit by selling healthy lifestyle services and products, but their sales pale in comparison to the prescription drug business. The key to proliferating Yoga therapy is public education about the benefits of proactive health maintenance.

Schools are making the effort to educate the public about the benefits of practicing Yoga. At a time when many families do not have adequate health insurance, Yoga offers cost effective solutions.

Teaching Hatha Yoga - Creative Networking

For Yoga teachers, who work as independent contractors, this economy is a test of creativity. Although there may be class cutbacks, at your local health club, a local chiropractic clinic may be searching for a Yoga instructor to work "in house."

Alexander Graham Bell stated, "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." We wait for things to happen, and when they do not fall into place, we dwell on the negative outcome.

We practice preventative health methods and teach others to be pro-active toward health, but we neglect being creative about networking. Some of us are entirely content to teach Yoga in isolation. There are many reasons for this, but most of us, who teach Yoga, tend to be very independent in our thinking.

In the words of John Donne: "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

This does not imply that you should give up your own free will, but feel free to "test the waters" of networking. Opportunities are good only when you recognize their potential. Everyone needs to consider opportunities in this economy.

Please consider your viewpoint in all matters. Are you optimistic, middle of the road, or slightly cynical? At this point, I have never met a pessimistic teacher of Yoga, so that option has been by-passed.

If you are optimistic or cynical, you need to hear the opposite opinion from a trusted friend. Even if you do not agree, a logical and honest opposing opinion can help you make a sensible evaluation.

Now, let's get back to the heart of networking your Yoga teaching services. An independent contractor can afford to take his or her time making a decision. There is usually very little overhead to worry about, no employees to pay, and creative independent contractors are in a strong position in any economy.

However, if you are a Yoga studio owner, you must move forward now. You must network to find services that your students are seeking. Therapeutic massage, Ayurveda, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Reiki, and Pilates are examples of services that your students may desire.

If you have the space or time frames available, you might find the networking opportunity of a lifetime. Many of these networking opportunities come and go, but some of them are perfect long-term matches.
