5.0 out of 5 stars Energizing Yoga Workout, September 17, 2001

By 

Stacie Johnson (Richland, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crunch - Fat Burning Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I loved this tape! I thought the instructor was motivating and a real person. Fit without being too intimidating. She explains all the moves really well and reminds you to breathe in sequence, which I found very helpful. I didn't think yoga could be "fat burning" but I was sweating and energized at the end of the workout. Plus I was sore in all the right places the next day. I really like the Crunch series of tapes because most of them are 30 - 45 minutes which is alot easier for me to squeeze in to my day. This tape will become part of my regular schedule. I highly recommend it for beginners and intermediates. It probably wouldn't be suitable for advanced yoga enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars "THE LIGHT IN ME SALUTES THE LIGHT IN YOU.", March 26, 2002

This review is from: Crunch - Fat Burning Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Yoga has greatly enhanced my life, it can yours as well. Burning fat is important and you'll definitely do it with this workout! Sara Ivahoe's philosophy is, "If it isn't fun, you won't do it. And the only way to burn fat is to do it, and do it, and do it." Sara is a special instructor who succeeds in making this vinyasa (free-flowing) workout FUN! Yes, FUN! She reminds us to be aware of our breathing and that the QUALITY of the breath directly affects the MOVEMENT. The workout moves at a wonderful, even tempo--not too fast or too slow; also, it isn't too easy or too difficult. FAT-BURNING YOGA is enjoyable for the beginner to intermediate because you can follow Sara (intermediate) or her friend, Natasha, for any needed modifications.

The movement sequences are logically choreographed to be very smooth which maximizes the flow and the breath. Before the final relaxation pose, there is some heavy-duty abdominal work that is short but very intense and gratifying to complete. Sara's cool-down is a real TREAT that makes it all worthwhile and will bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart.

I'm so happy to have finally found an exercise that I truly enjoy doing and feel completely rejuvenated afterwards! A extra special benefit I've noticed is that yoga alleviates my back pain and helps me sleep better. My back knows the days I do yoga and the days I don't. FAT-BURNING YOGA is a fun, challenging workout that I highly recommmend.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE TITLE DOESN'T LIE, September 20, 2001

Whew, what a workout! I did this today and did I sweat! I try to practice yoga 4-5x's a week, usually power yoga, and I like to mix it up with tapes to keep from getting bored. If you have yoga experience you'll know these poses, but they're linked in a way to make it a "workout". You willfeel it in the upper body, lower body and especially the abs! If you've wanted to try yoga but were leery of the "mysticism" this is your most pragmatic choice.
