Jane Adams' Gentle Yoga is the perfect way for those in mid-life to take up the practice of yoga without causing any damage to their body. This series is specifically designed to cater to the needs of those in their 40s, 50s or 60s. The show offers a unique approach to yoga that works specifically to slow down the aging process and provides better flexibility, strength, and balanced agility.

In each episode of Gentle Yoga, Jane Adams walks viewers through a variety of seated and standing yoga postures, which mostly constitute gentle and slow movements with proper alignment – a fundamental requirement for practicing yoga safely. In addition to the basic asanas, the show also includes breathing techniques to help relax and center the mind. The pranayama exercises not only help in reducing anxieties and tension in the upper body but also aid in building lung capacity.

Whether you want to ease discomfort in your lower back or maintain focus, there is an episode that specifically caters to your need.

Jane creates an inviting and relaxing atmosphere, making it easy for the viewer to follow along at their pace without feeling any pressure.

The production of the show is excellent. Jane is a seasoned instructor, and this is evident in every episode. The focus point of the shot is clear to view, and there are different camera angles, providing a better view of the posture from various perspectives.
