4.0 out of 5 stars A well presented, well rounded beginner's intro to yoga ..., September 27, 2007

This review is from: Total Yoga 4 Pack (DVD)

... incorporating four practices progressing from a basic first lesson to a more mentally and physically challenging routine.

Earth: a 40 minute intro to a variety of basic poses and flows.
Water: similar to Earth, a little longer with the addition of a few more poses and a slightly increased tempo.
Fire: a challenge for the beginner ready to progress to intermediate; about 60 minutes with a more vigorous, continuous flow and more challenging asanas and variations.
Total Yoga Original: about the same level as Water, with interesting variations in terms of sequencing and some poses.

Each class flows beautifully and smoothly; each is soothing and yet promotes focus and challenge (especially Fire).

Each disc also includes a fifteen minute bonus practice, which I've not yet tried.

Visually, quality is high, simple and clear, with two obviously experienced but in no way intimidating yogis practicing on a plain floor against a simple background and with smooth camera work that allows the viewer to see the entire posture clearly.

Sound is great, instruction clear and precise; snippets of information are offered about the benefits of certain poses - succinctly and without emotional or spiritual content (no judgment there, just fact). More information about placement and alignment would have been useful considering it is an absolute beginner series.

Some other yoga DVDs are one lesson with a number of yogis demonstrating various levels of difficulty for each asana/pose. That 'multi-level' DVD may serve as a reminder of the basics for more advanced yogis and a source of inspiration for newbies. Some beginners may prefer Total Yoga's four stage method as more specific to them. It may prove less confusing for a beginner who is easily distracted (or possibly disheartened) by seeing mega-flexible and strong yogis undertaking advanced postures in a non-stop flow (for a more lengthy practice) that appear impossible to someone completely new to yoga.

Highly recommended for a beginner; experienced yogis will find it more meditative than physically challenging.

Just over a year ago I bought Total Yoga and began practicing at home and have not stopped since! The practice has completely changed my life! I adore it. I love Tracey Rich, the discipline of the practice, and the way that it has changed my body and my approach to breathing. I do the Fire Bonus Workout twice at the beginning of the Total Yoga DVD and then I integrate crunches into my practice independently. I swith off with Shiva Rea's sun salutations. I just love yoga!!!

I have not been practicing yoga for very long, but I found that the fire practice was an excellent cardio workout. I alternate between that and the Power Yoga with Rodney Yee. The water practice is a good intermediate workout for those slower days. I did not like the Earth workout, perhaps because I had had some formal training where I learned the poses. For those who are just starting out and need to learn the correct positions for the poses, I would recommend this workout. While I may not use the Earth practice video, the 4 pack is still a good value for everything that I can get out of it.
