This review is from: Geri Body Yoga (DVD)

The best thing about this video is the attitude of the participants. The workout itself is complete and challenging in the fact that it includes most of the well known poses in good sequencing and is nearly one and a half hours long. Kathy gives the instruction but Geri sometimes chimes in with encouragement for the viewer. Geri looks terrific and has a wonderful attitude throughout the workout. There is another student doing modified poses, which were too easy to suit my level of practice but the main focus (thankfully) is on Geri. She looks great. Some of the cueing to poses could be better in case you aren't watching the screen. Following the instruction for the sun salutations is a problem for me. There are many different versions of a sun salutation depending on the instructor and this one changes from hatha to ashtanga just when I got used to doing it the first type she goes into a another version. The best things about this video is how they stress doing yoga to suit your body and your ability and the upbeat attitude of the participants. And last of all, the video quality is very good.I like this one but it's too long for me to use this video everyday.

4.0 out of 5 stars Geri Body Yoga, March 4, 2006

This review is from: Geri Body Yoga (DVD)

This newest DVD from Geri Halliwell is not a repackaging of the first one. She teams up again with Katy Appleton. Definately watch this video at least twice before working out with it. There are a few mis-cues and also some of the poses are different from other yoga workouts. Even though they say that you can break up the routine into segments (the entire workout is about 83 minutes long), for me it was better to do the whole dvd. At least do some cardio before you do the strength segment, you need to be warmed up properly before attempting these poses.
Hope this helps.

4.0 out of 5 stars Balanced and enjoyable, August 2, 2008

This review is from: Geri Body Yoga (DVD)

This workout offers a balanced variety of poses demonstrated at a moderate pace. Apart from the salutations sequences, the poses aren't `joined-up', so to speak. So if you're a fan of fast-paced vinyasa flow this one is probably not for you. This DVD helped me get back into yoga after a break of a number of years. I would recommend it to beginners or people needing to increase flexibility or acquire some detail in the basics of yoga poses.
I particularly like the initial warm-up - so many DVDs just use a few half sun salutes to warm up. This one is a series of gentle, bendy/ twisty floor postures finishing with a standing forward bend they let you hang in for a bit, so you can go deep. This section makes me feel nicely stretched and ready for more. Sometimes, on days when I'm too rushed to do a full session, I use it as a quick wake-up sequence or mini-practice.
The disc moves on to sun salutations that move from mild to intermediate level, a slower more basic sequence followed by a stronger, faster-moving one. Chaptering allows you to pick and choose between these if you wish. A moon salutation follows. I hadn't come across this before and find it enjoyable and a little different. After this come some seated, supine and inverted postures, nothing mindblowing, but thoroughly described and well executed. I'm probably not quite as ecstatic about this DVD as I was when I wrote a review on Amazon.co.uk a year and a half ago, but I still find it a solid product.
How you feel about Geri and her comments will probably be an individual reaction and may depend on your attitude to celebrities on yoga DVDs. I wasn't a major fan of hers, but don't find her irritating here at all. Some of her comments might well be a bit superfluous, but to me she comes across as pleasant and positive. Her style gives the DVD a warm, matey feel, the setting is beautiful, and Katy Appleton's approach is clear and professional. Overall, Geri Body Yoga provides a balanced and enjoyable yoga experience.
