Susan Rosen, longtime practitioner and teacher of yoga, demonstrates specific yoga stretches and exercises--with many positions focusing on opening the chest area and helping to regain flexibility and strength--geared towards women recovering from surgery after breast cancer. Although the sound on the introductory material is muffled, the camerawork and sound during the exercises are solid, and the program includes cautionary reminders to practice these exercises only at comfortable levels for the body. A good choice for consumer health collections, this is recommended. Aud: P. (K. Sullivan)
