I can't judge the Tai Chi but the Yoga in this video was not well done. The producers hired attractive women with gorgeous bodies and large breasts--but no Yoga skills. So this video does not combine the beauty of Yoga with the beauty of the human body. It would be absolutely wonderful to have a talented and flexible Yoga instructor do Yoga postures correctly...and in a manner that is intentionally sexually explicit and erotic. I don't see any problem with that. Probably few if any dedicated Yoga instructors would consider doing that sort of video. I'm sure it would be frowned upon by the serious Yoga community which might consider it degrading. So we end up with a second rate product like this video. Too bad. Nevertheless, I do enjoy watching these women show us their bodies.

When it's sweltering here in our Palm Springs desert paradise, clothing optional settings and activities are a natural for many locals and visitors. So if it's summer and you live here, odds are that you're already naked as you read this.

In the soothing NUDE YOGA & TAI CHI ($20), five buck-naked youngish women go through relatively easy yoga and tai chi routines. To someone who is an amateur of both disciplines, the yoga seemed superior to the tai chi.

When this title was first released on home video, it was criticized by some hard core feminists as merely another excuse to exploit naked women with large, augmented, breasts and that it's nothing more than soft core titillation.

Maybe and maybe not.

Since sexual energy is an element of yoga (remember Madonna's suggestive yoga poses in W magazine?), if this digital routine arouses, perhaps that's just an added bonus. The low key elevator music and the almost hypnotic, non-intrusive narration make this a nice morning or evening routine to either get the blood flowing or to wind down.

Not Rated: Full frontal nudity (sometimes with socks). Genre: Exercise. 95 Minutes.

Nude Yoga provides a good overview of basic yoga postures.I challenge anyone who hasn't studied yoga to execute the headstand with the form of the young lady in the dvd. Because the asanas are being performed correctly, Nude Yoga is a good reference. Done without clothing, one can better see how the body works. As no serious student gawks at his teacher during a yoga class, don't look at the screen as you do your routine. I highly recommend Nude Yoga. I don't know anything about Tai Chi.The girls in the dvd didn't seem to either. I'm baffled that they yoked these two programs together.They should have used Nude Cigar Smoking. Nude Yoga and Nude Cigar-Smoking would have satisfied the Jekyll/Hyde in us.

I have used this DVD on and off for several months. I have found the Yoga section to be very useful in stretching my body and teaching my the (very) basics of Yoga. I am not into the spirituality of Yoga...I enjoy the stretch and the different positions the DVD take the user through. There are about 20-25 positions that stretch and work opposite muscle groups. Some of these positions are fairly tough; while others are easier. I work out a lot at the gym (cardio and weight lifting) and fid this DVD to be a great training aid when used once a week to keep me limber.

The Tai Chi section of the DVD is less than helpful. It is almost completely useless. The movements are not well documented and are not shot at multiple angles to show proper form. Form and movement are very important inTai Chi. This section of the DVD is the pits. I have removed one star from the rating for the terrible Tai Chi section.

In all, the Yoga section of the DVD is excellent for the beginner. The nude models are kind of strange to get used to. But after a few sessions, you start to work on the positions and not think about the models. Worth every penny.

I first viewed this as a VHS about three years ago as part of a research project. Not only is the Tai-Chi and Yoga useless, and the girls completely ineptÑthe girls also spend most of their time covering their genitals with their hands whenever they go into an open-legged squating position as if they are frightened and embarrassed by what they are doing. If the DVD is the same low-quality production as the VHS, I would not waste my time and money.

It is totally nude and therefore has a lot of entertainment value. I guess my biggest complaint (and I can really only comment on the yoga since I am not a regular tai chi practitioner) is that the women have fake breasts -- this is rather contrary to the overall yoga philosophy, is it not?! I guess if they were real they'd bounce too much, but I thought it was inappropriate/ridiculous. Also, they wear socks (not those funky special yoga socks, but just regular socks). Socks are a big no no in yoga! The women didn't otherwise appear to be cold, so why they were wearing the socks was a total mystery. But the oddities also make this fun/funny to watch.

It occurs to me that production of high quality DVDs/VHS Nude series of Yoga or Tai Chi would sell like crazy if they were worth actually viewing and working out to. This DVD is for the sheer purpose of seeing big artificially breasted women moving in "Yoga-like" moves for the guy who's got nothing better to do. If this were actually a real Yoga DVD the women would know what they were doing and LOOK like they know what they're doing. The instruction is sub standard and isn't based on any tru form of Yoga at all. Don't let the cover fool you it is not even worth the purchase even if you DIDN'T have anything better to do! Buy something else.

Two separate fitness programs on this DVD. Yoga and Tai Chi. Very nice to learn this on my TV with seven buck naked ladies teaching these classes. They show the careful moves, positions and breathing techniques like the sun salutation and the half spinal twist. The yoga ladies are attractive, skilled and limber. The tai chi ladies are very lovely to view in motion, but not as talented. The music and voice narration is relaxing, soothing and very informative even for new folks like me. Not x rated but erotic to see. In my opinion, this production is just as good as any other yoga fitness program. Plus hey, their all fully nude. Works for me. Fun to participate or just watch. Unlike with a vhs tape, these workouts can be further enjoyed with the DVD interactive menus and instant chapter access. Cool way to learn yoga.

Yoga and Tai Ci are spitirtual technics to train the body to be in shape and to evolve spiritually; presenting it naked is a brilliant idea, since nakedness fits the concept of natural and spirituality is the essence naturalism.
It is an actual plus the fact that it can be arousing at the same time, to stimulate the sexual chakra during the exercise.
This movie is well made and the basic movements of both yoga and tai chi are pretty well expressed.
It could have been a much better movie though if they would have used women with real..., I have nothing against silicon ...., but it is in net contrast with the idea of natural.
They should/could have used one person for the yoga and one person for the tai chi, and still focused on finding pleasent or even better beautiful real teacher of one and the other.
One more thing naked does mean without socks, and in yoga especially socks should not be an optional.

This video was made about 10 years ago. The models do not appear to be enthusiasts of either Tai Chi or Yoga, as none of the models seem to be instructor quality. All the instruction is provided in VO. The instructions do not give a complete routine or even provide transition for most of the moves.

Gets a 0 for instructional quality
Gets a 1 for production value
Gets a 1 for quality of intstructors/models
Gets a 1 for camera work
Gets a 4 for the concept.

With the popularity of these exercise methods growing, increased popularity in nude yoga specifically, I would think there is a great market for this video to be remade and remade properly.
