Reviews of Bed Top Yoga

"Dickman's tapes recently won first prize for best healing experience from among 100 audio and videotape submissions in an international multimedia contest. It isn't surprising. Her soothing and patient approach will win over even those who are anxious or skeptical. "

Jewish Woman Magazine, Summer 2002.


"Carol Dickman's Bed Top Yoga audiotape is a cozy way to get ready for early morning walks - before your feet even hit the floor! Pop it into a cassette player and wake up to her delicious, total-body stretches."
Prevention magazine, Dec. 1998, Editors' Top Picks: 45 Great Gift Ideas!


"I was very taken with the very relaxed, laid back style, the soothing and encouraging words. Nothing is rushed and the major emphasis is on limbering and body awareness. The video is very encouraging into all movements, each movement is followed by a moment or two of relaxation. While the movements and asanas may seem simple they have a complexity if you wish to go deeper."
IYTA magazine.


"Carol Dickman is to be congratulated for opening up a new audience to the age-old benefits of yoga."
- Myrna Lewis, MSW and Asst. Professor Mount Sinai Medical School, New York City


Yoga Journal says Carol's Bed Top Yoga audio cassette has "a cult following of former insomniacs."

"Bed Top Yoga is ideal for anyone who might otherwise avoid yoga; people who are physically chanllenged, bedridden, or injured, or those who are overweight. Bed Top Yoga is also an ideal tape for anyone who, for whatever reason, feels lazy, doesn't want to get on the floor, or simply wants a gentle form of exercise but needs a little bit of encouragement and guidance. Dickman's soothing voice makes the routine a pleasure. Her well-timed, precise, and easy to follow cues make learning and practicing yoga a snap. Bed Top Yoga is great to wake up to. You can practice it first thing in the morning to help smooth the transition from sleeping to getting out of bed and taking on the day. It's also a healthful way to unwind from your day and can help you sleep better, making it the ideal replacement for a "before bed snack" or a sleeping pill. Insomniacs have reported that the tape is so relaxing it helps them sleep without pills or side effects. Bed Top Yoga can also be practiced during the day, when you need or want some gentle exercise or a break from your daily routine. People who are confined to bed as a result of injury or surgery may find Dickman's tape a much-needed tool for recovery. I do not have any disabilities, yet I use Bed Top Yoga and find it immensely helpful. By following the Bed Top Yoga tape I don't have to put energy into creating my own routine. I also find that Dickman's encouraging words remind me to go slowly, listen to my body, and avoid over-stretching or straining. And, when my resolve to do early morning exercise is a bit shaky, I just slip the tape into the machine, and follow along."
December, 1996, Rachel Albert-Matesz, freelance health and food writer, cooking instructor, and cookbook author. Her articles have appeared in national magazines such as Let's Live, New Body, and Vegetarian Times.She is available for cooking and nutritional consultations, (419) 476-2967.


"Dickman has a reassuring style, appropriate for an audience that might be reluctant to exercise because of injury, disability, or age. She focuses on breathing and self-awareness, and gives time after each exercise to experience its benefits. This is an intelligent, useful presentation."
Yoga Journal, Jan./Feb. '96 issue, p. 121.


"Carol Dickman's BED TOP YOGA is terrific in both conception and execution. Her cues are precise and easy to follow; her voice melodic and soothing. The exercises are suitable to anyone confined to a bed and should provide physical, mental and emotional benefits to those who practice them."
Rebecca Gorrell, Wellness Education Director,
Canyon Ranch Spas


"A breakthrough idea in yoga instruction. Carol Dickman is a gifted and creative teacher. She has produced an audio tape of tremendous value to those wanting to become healthier and happier."
Larry Cooper, President, Health Classics


"Carol Dickman has a pleasant voice, and any practitioner can benefit from her advice to listen to one's own body without self-judgment or striving for an external goal."
