5.0 out of 5 stars Great yoga practices, great price! November 22, 2012

Love this. Tara is one of my favorite instructors for her tireless effort to remind you to breathe. These disks are soothing, beautiful, relaxing, and fun. There is definitely a flow for everyone in these disks. Great variety for beginners up past intermediate and even on to advanced who still like a guided practice that is a nice self-challenging no-brainer.

Tara's narrative is like a constant path guiding you through every moment with your body in each pose, suggesting play and even micromovements within the greater poses of the flow. I love it! Flow yoga constantly moves, so it can be hard to get clear guidance in new practices unless you choreograph it yourself.

Can't say enough good things about this set. Really. It's exactly what I've been looking for in a DVD set for years. Hours of good feelings for body and mind! Varieties of length practices from a 5 minute routines in bed for am and pm, 15 minute Gentle Flow on Disk 2 to an hour long flows on Disks 1 & 3, and plenty of 30-40 minute flows too.

Thanks Tara and Strala Yoga for being inspiring, warm, friendly, and approachable. Your love of yoga shines through everything you do, and is contagious. Thank you for being the breadcrumbs we need from where we are in our yoga practice to where we know we want to end up.

People seem confused about routine time lengths. Disk two's descriptions have a few names for each flow, so I can see where the confusion is from.... The descriptions and times are listed on the back of each disk, but here's a quick guide:

Disk 1
- Strong Flow (1 hour play time) listed at 60 minutes
- Relax Flow (34 minute play time) listed at 30 minutes

Disk 2
- AM Flow (33 minute play time) listed as Beginners Flow
on back of case at 30 minutes
- Gentle Flow (14 minute play time) listed on back of case
as Relaxed Easygoing Flow on back of disk at 15 minutes
- PM Flow (48 minute play time) listed on back of case
as Calming Night Time Flow at 50 minutes

Disk 3
- AM Yoga In Bed (4 minute play time) listed at 5 minutes
- Daily Flow (32 minute play time) listed on back of case
as Daily Basic Flow at 15 minutes
- Energy Flow (1 hour 2 minute play time) listed on case
as Energizing Strong Flow 60 minutes
- PM Yoga in Bed (6 minute play time) listed on case as
Bed Time Flow at 5 minutes

Disk 4
- Pose Library
Sets of poses related to topics such as Seated, Standing,
Sun Salutations, Arm Balance, Inversions, Back Bends,
Reclining and runs 90 minutes total according to
back of case
- BONUS: Strength and Flexibility poses listed as 20
collective minutes on back of case

Hope that helps! :) I'm printing it up and putting it with the disks for quick reference for myself too since I don't have them memorized yet. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Tara Stiles at her best! September 14, 2012

By Melisa

I've been a Tara fan for a few years now, so I was super excited to see the This is Yoga series come out. I would say that I am pretty good at Yoga, so I wasn't expecting much of a learning curve. First, I love the modern vibe! The music is stuff I would put on my ipod and as always Tara's voice is calm but not too pushy. The sets are modern and don't have the typical Hawaiian vacation vibe most yoga dvds have. I was also really psyched that Tara has SO many different types of routines, she even does Yoga in a bed! Even though I'm not necessarily a beginner, I still found the Beginners Yoga For Everyone DVD because it got my body used to her flow and moves. The best part is how many different options the dvds have. It would take years to memorize all of her different workouts, so I'm not worried about getting bored with this set.

5.0 out of 5 stars only way to do yoga! September 13, 2012

By swomble

The settings in this DVD series are SOOO refreshing compared to normal Yoga dvds. The sets are simplistic and completely unpretentious bc they strip it down to just yoga and the natural surroundings. Each workout is sleek and very 2012. (My favorite is the sunset workout with the LA skyline in the background) Also, Tara has the best voice, she just seems so much more up to date than the typical yoga dvd people. She has great flow and the way she speaks is if you are being personally trained by her instead of you doing an instructional dvd. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone (even beginners) who are looking to get away from the bland traditional yoga dvds and want something modern and up-to-date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!! September 13, 2012

By Lauren

I am VERYYYY BUSY and always looking for a workout that fits into my schedule. A friend at work recommended Tara, so I ordered this series (FOR $20!!!!!! That's unheard of...). Having no experience with Yoga I was pretty nervous, but once I tried the Beginners Yoga For Everyone DVD I was pleasantly surprised. Let me say first, any beginner will not look as elegant as Tara does, but she is great at telling you how to make the moves easier. She is constantly talking about what she is doing so you are never lost, and her descriptions of what she is doing makes really easy to follow.

I definitely recommend the dvd to any mom who doesn't have the money or time for a gym and who wants to get in shape.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but Confusing November 6, 2012

By dusty

I think Tara is very cool and inspiring. I was very excited to get this set. However, my main complaint is, it was difficult to figure out which workout listed on the DVD goes with which description and time on the back. The majority of workouts did not match the times given on the cover and it would have been nice to see the (correct) times on the menu when playing the DVD. Like another reviewer said, a 15 minute routine was really 30 or more, etc. Also, the title or description on the DVD did not match what it was called on the back of the cover (where the times are listed). I exercise before I go to work and time it accordingly. I had to break it off in the middle on several routines because of this inaccuracy. At first I thought I just got confused, but realized something was off. Also, the way the library DVD is done I didn't care for. She shows a lot of poses, but on one side only. So, if you follow along you would have to do the other side on your own or replay the DVD. Or, if you want to do both sides for a pose you would have to pause the DVD after each pose. The 20 minute routine on this DVD is also longer than even 30 minutes which is when I stopped. Although a bargain, I felt this set could have been organized better. The instruction is Tara's typical style, she will talk continuously and fast which I don't mind but it might not be everyone's taste.
