Geriatric Medicine
"Carol Dickman's Bed Top Yoga and Seated Yoga videos are the best I have ever seen.
Her approach is simple, gentle and an effective introduction to yoga. All you need is an open mind…you don't need to be agile, flexible or mystical to experience the benefits.
You can obtain immediate results in the privacy and convenience of your home and at your own time. I would recommend these tapes to patients in all age ranges who wish to reduce stress and promote a state of enhanced physical and mental well being."

Cancer
"I have viewed your yoga videos and believe they would be extremely helpful to our cancer patients."
Cristina Pozo-Kaderman, Ph.D.
Co-Director of Psychosocial Services
Mount Sinai Cancer Center

GlaxoSmithKline says of the Seated Yoga video “Simple Yoga that Cancer patients and Caregivers Can Do in a chair. A gentle exercise program like Seated Yoga can make a big difference in helping to manage your fatigue---which, in turn, can improve your emotional outlook on life---and living with a diagnosis of cancer.”
Oncology Times, March 2002, says of the Bed Top Yoga and Seated Yoga videos “At Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami Beach, patients borrow the videotapes. They are also used by many family members, who are often as stressed as the patients themselves.”

Multiple Sclerosis
"Both videos are excellent! Easy to follow, modify, and gentle enough for
beginners and those living with chronic illness.
Instruction, safety, audio and video quality are superb! Terrific
complement to other exercise modalities. Congratulations on a job well done."

Physical Disabilities
Both Bed Top Yoga and Seated Yoga videos were recommended in The National Limb Loss Information Center's March/April 2002 issue of In Motion magazine, in an article entitled "Yoga for Everyone": "Videotaped lessons make ancient practice available to those with disabilities."
Back Concerns
"Carol's revolutionary Bed Top Yoga audio inspired me to do yoga on a more regular basis. I found her instructions so clear and easy to follow; it felt like she was giving the instructions in- person ---and still does after more than seven years. I still enjoy using Bed Top Yoga when I'm too tired to do a standing yoga routine, I need a relaxing computer break, my back muscles are tired or sore, or I'm recovering from an injury."

Out of over 100 audio and videotape submissions of guided imagery, meditation, yoga, breathwork, tai chi, affirmations, music and nature videography, Carol's work was determined by the panel of 4 independent, holistic health experts to be the primo healing experience of the lot."
