This is a great starter kit for people who are just starting out with the wonderful world of Yoga. I found the mat was the best part of the kit. Because of the lines on it, I found it extremely easy to make sure my body was in the correct alignment for each pose.

I gave this only 4 stars because the DVD leaves something to be desired. Granted, the instructional part of the DVD was helpful - it really went into detail about how to do each move, but the workout itself was disappointing. The workout is 45 minutes but could have been done in 25. It kept repeating the same movements over and over again. Do I really need to do Downward Dog 15 times in one workout?

I also found that you don't seem to need two blocks. One is sufficient.

It would have been wonderful if they had included a wall chart to show each basic Yoga pose.

After I decided to start doing yoga, I decided to buy a set instead of each piece of equipment as I needed it. The best part about this set is the "alignment mat" which actually has lines on it to help you improve your positioning. (You can see some of them in the picture) It's especially good when I can't go to class, to make sure that I keep the best positioning possible. The mat isn't as thick as I would have liked it to be, but you can't have everything!

This kit is wonderful for someone wanting to get started doing yoga at home. It includes two foam bricks, a cotton strap, and a sticky mat with alignment guides printed on it. The bricks, strap, and mat are color-coordinated, to make you look great at yoga class (or in your living room!), and are also high quality. The lines on the mat are immensely helpful to a beginner, so that you can align your body with them and make sure you're correctly completing the pose. The DVD that comes with the kit includes not only a 45-minute workout, but also a 25-minute "pose workshop". The workshop is focused intensely on describing and demonstrating the poses in detail. I found the workshop to be especially good; it would be helpful for a beginner unfamiliar with the poses as well as to someone more advanced and wanting to make the most of each pose.

Overall, a great value. It's worth paying the extra ten dollars to get quality products as well as the alignment mat and pose workshop - I learned a lot and am getting more out of my other yoga workouts because of these two items.

I go to a free yoga class that does not always have enough mats so I needed something reasonably priced to bring along with me.

For $30 I got everything I needed and I am very pleased with the quality of the pieces. I would have liked a little bag to carry it all, but I can easily sew one myself.

I often get compliments on the set and I like the little lines on the mat fo lining up my feet and hands. It is very lightweight though cunbersome without a bag. You may consider bying a bag designed to carry a yoga mat if you don't have something suitable.

I would buy this again or give it as a gift happily.

This package is a good one to start with if you are starting yoga. A combination of a yoga mat (which is essential for doing yoga) plus blocks and a strap which can be used to help with poses - such as more support or help stetching.

The DVD is also nice with the two routines, so all together this one will get you on the way nicely. Of course people will always have their own favorites - meaning I know practioners who when they progress get very picky about things such as yoga mats and can spend alot of money on them, but for starting out this package is complete and contains all you need at a great price.

Highly recommended for the price and what is all included.

I liked the mat. That was all. The guy on the video made me want to jab my eyes out....ya...yoga is not supposed to make you MORE tense!!! Waste of money, get something better quality!

The video doesn't really use most of the props but I will use them for other videos. And the guy teaching the class is a little too much of a hippie for me. But my yoga instructor is always coming and aligning my poses for me, so I LOVE LOVE LOVE the lines for practice at home. I reccommend the kit, because you can't get a better price, and everything is quality. I like that I can see my hand and feet imprinted onto the mat, it helps me remember to stay grounded. Get the kit, but I reccomend getting some other videos to play. His workoug is quality though.

I am an absolute begginer to Yoga & I have to say this kit is impressive. It comes with everything a Yoga newcomer would need & includes a DVD with introductions to poses that is not intimidating at all. The 40 minute workout portion of the DVD is also great & trust me when I say you will very quickly realize what Yoga will do for your mind & body. I do find myself snickering at times at the very "mother earth" terminology used in Yoga by this specific instructor, but I found the overall workout very satisfying. It is also very nice that two guides are employed for novice vs. more advanced pose stances. Give this a shot & see what Yoga really has to offer. It is not impossible & you will find your body responding more willingly with each workout. Overall, this is a great alternative to the gym or jogging/walking.

This is the first time I've tried yoga. I bought this kit because it looked good for beginners and came with yoga blocks/strap.

Well, I did it for a few days but then I found myself out of breath less than half way through the exercises. I was able to complete both of them a few times, now I just do yoga on my own.
I'm happy because I noticed after doing this that I could finally reach my toes (It's been a problem for me during soccer season)

I'm pretty much strayed from yoga and now I just stretch, but I'm using the mat still because it's thicker than a lot of other mats that I've seen. I don't use the arrows on it because stretching out that far doesn't work for me since I'm not yet full grown.

It's a great starter kit. The pose workshop is brief, but gives a bit of detail about poses and adaptations for those not totally flexible. The mat is great. I take it to yoga class and have gotten comments from 2 different teachers about how nice it is. The blocks, strap, and lined mat make it a great deal for a beginner to intermediate student.
