Both very useful!
The anxiety practices are nice to do before bed. The depression practices give you energy, might make you wakeful--best to do earlier in the day. The chanting practice for anxiety is interesting. The more physical practice for depression is the strongest. My guess is these would be useful to many people, whether or not depressed or anxious.
As other reviewers have noted, there is no music. But Gary's voice is soothing and helpful, particularly if you use the mp3 versions of these practices. The mp3s can be useful if you're traveling or have a need to listen to the practice using earbuds (maybe you don't want to disturb your roommate).
Excellent
He starts with an excellent detailed explanation about the causes of both anxiety and depression. I didn't realize that I had so many chronic symptoms of anxiety until I watched his lecture. I thought that my various symptoms were unrelated (IBD, chronic neck pain, hormonal imbalances etc). This understanding that my issues stemmed from anxiety helped me greatly as it led me to Psych K therapy (he does not suggest that, I found it on my own). I found the sessions deeply relaxing and they brought real energy shift to me. Really recommend these and suggest that you watch the lectures to start.
Viniyoga Therapy for Anxiety and Depression
I recommend this dvd to anyone who does yoga. It is easy to follow and focus on. It is excellent for anyone to do whether or not one suffers from anxiety or depression. Gary Kraftsow's voice is easy to listen to and he is very informative. I am very happy to have discovered all of his dvds. Thank you.
