Available for $9.99 at Amazon.com or www.kristeneykel.com

Cast: Kristen Eykel on a pretty backyard patio with dappled sunlight
Skill level: Any. Though she isn't always clear about what a beginner might do, you could use this simple video if you're a mess or to stretch after marathons.

You'll need: Yoga mat and the ability to forgive that you paid $10 for a 12-minute stretch when you usually get at least an hourlong workout and a stretch for that price.

What's cool: Eykel has a soothing voice. Her regimen is a nice stretch, but I'm not sure how this is applicable to most imaginable emergencies.

What left me cold: To make this a 30-minute product she used lengthening devices such as hawking the whole five-part series of "Yoga Emergency" DVDs, two ludicrous segments where she suggests you get a pet and a fountain, and a meditation section with so many birds chirping that Hitchcock could do a casting call.

Overall Rating: C
