I just reviewed this program and I had difficulty following along. This is because the the program is so slow and the narrator has such a calming voice that I kept yawning. There is narration throughout the entire program, had the narration stopped, I may have had a minute to calm my mind as the program encourages. This is a relaxing program, almost too relaxing.

The other distraction in this program is the use of bricks, blankets and a chair. The narration focuses a lot of time on these accessories. It would've been nice to have the narration give directions for people who choose to follow along without the accessories.

The overall program devotes a lot of time to holding certain positions and the narration talks through each interval of a position which could be annoying at times. The pace of the programs are a little too slow. Suzanne's look could also be a distraction for some people. I'm still looking for a program that offers more varieties of positions.

I find this DVD very effective and highly recommend it to anyone who has a weight problem. Four years ago The Quick Start Yoga For Weightloss exercises helped me to lose - after pregnancy - 30 pounds in six months. I did just this complex of exercises one time every day. After first three weeks of exercise I received the first results and did not stop until I reached the normal weight. I used thick books when I didn't have blocks, effect precisely the same. The exercises are very simple; even if it seems to you it is difficult to repeat for the instructor, don't stop, the road will be passed by the going. With each following practice, you will notice that to be engaged becomes easier. One day you will feel it is boring, but it does not mean that it isn't effective. I can't imagine a weight loss program easier than this one.

I have two other weight loss yoga DVDs, they have much longer sessions and are more difficult, but don't help me for weight loss at all.

I haven't actually been able to do this workout yet--not because I haven't wanted to because I have, but because YOU NEED TO HAVE YOGA BLOCKS TO DO IT. I don't have those yoga blocks, so now I have to go pay more $$ for equipment. It doesn't say anywhere on the DVD that you need any equipment. It's really, really annoying because you should know what you need before you wake up at 5:30 AM and pop the DVD in thinking you'll get a workout first thing.

I'm overweight, so I bought yoga for weightloss. Well, right at the beginning of the workout the instructor, who is not overweight, launches into several positions that I cannot do BECAUSE I AM OVERWEIGHT. I would have to be at close to a normal weight to fit myself into the positions she does.

What's the point? I thought this might actually have positions I could do. I ejected the disc five minutes into it and added it to my coaster collection.

Thanks for nothing.
