I have been doing yoga for over 30years, so I'm not a "newbie", but I wanted a yoga routine that would be comfortable to do. At first, I was a little skeptical of the reviews, because so many of them originated from Washington, D.C., so I thought most of them were her yoga students supporting her. I'm glad I tried it for myself though, because this is a GREAT yoga vinyasa routine, and can easily be altered for different lengths of time; this is a fabulous cd for any level of experience. I downloaded to my iPod nano, so I can take it with me on the road; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

This is by far the best yoga cd that I have purchased for my at home practice. The cd is designed to lead you through a complete practice, but it is split into tracks so that you can tailor your practice based on your time constraints or just on what you feel like doing that day. I loaded this cd into my itunes and will sometimes insert my favorite songs between Kimberly's tracks to extend my practice. I can also take it with me on my ipod when I travel. Kimberly provides perfect reminders for alignment and breath - this is a great cd for anyone who loves to have fun with yoga.

I've had an on again off again yoga practice for the last 13 years. This CD has helped me establish a daily home practice successfully! It was quite difficult for me to do yoga on my own, so being led through a session is incredibly helpful. I used to attend Kimberly's classes here in Washington, DC so I know first-hand how great a teacher she is. For a true beginner who has not taken a yoga class, this may be a challenging CD to follow. For the more experienced yogi, it is a great CD for morning practice when the body's a bit stiffer and just waking up. My only criticism would be that the pace of instruction is just a tad fast. A little more time to feel sensations in the body and relax between postures would have been better for me. Overall, I highly recommend this CD. You rock, Kimberly! Namaste, La.

I love Kimberly Wilson's "newbie" CD. Her music choices are just right, her voice is soothing, and the pace is great -- challenging, but doable. I love the Tranquil Space philosophy and dedication. I also like the options for shortened practices and the general arrangement of the tracks so you can tailor your own practice. This CD has made my home practice possible.

My name is Jordan and I have been doing yoga for about three years now and our group only got together once a month because we really were not having fun and we didn't understand. So I got on line and saw Ms.Wilson's cd and decided to give it a try and now our group meets every Tuesday and Thursday.Thank You Ms.Wilson for making yoga fun and understandable.

Vinyasa for the Newbie Yogi is not just a godsend to the beginner of yoga , but to all yogis! This gentle practice is wonderful to practice everyday. The instruction is clear and concise as always with Kimberly Wilson. Her gentle voice is cheerful and encouraging. The music on the CD begins and ends with beautiful piano and also has more upbeat, funky tracks during the more challenging poses! The music kept me motivated and focused, wheras in other yoga CDs, there is chanting, etc. which can be very distracting. I find this practice to be particularly invigorating after a run. This CD is such a treat for home practice! Just light your candles and incense, pop in your CD and you've got a practice! The illustrations inside of the CD are very helpful, especially if you wanted to give the CD as a gift. Kimberly's languaging is very easy to understand, which is very refreshing, as some yoga teachers speak sanskirt through the entire CD! Vinyasa yoga for the Newbe Yogi is a staple for anyone who practices yoga. With this CD you will never miss a practice again, even when you travel!

This CD is phenomenal!! For those who enjoy practicing at home, but also need some guidance, look no further..Kimberly's soothing voice guides you through a thorough practice that can also be modified if you are short on time. Also, this is a fabulous tool to help those who travel frequently. I've taken this CD on many business trips allowing me to continue/enhance my practice even when I'm far from the studio. I cannot speak highly enough of this cd - it embodies everything I need to continue my yoga practice and find peace amidst the craziness of life.

This beginner level yoga CD is one of the best available. Kimberly Wilson's teaching style is warm, thorough, and easy to follow. I also enjoy her choice of music-a perfect blend of funky and soothing. I recommend this excellent Vinyasa yoga CD as a key part of a newbie yogi's home practice.
Treat yourself or surprise your favorite yogi with a truly amazing gift. Namaste-Karin

I thought it would hard, as a beginner, to go through the yoga motions without visuals. However, Kimberly's CD is a great way to try yoga for the first time. Her instructions were extremely clear, and I went through the positions with ease, having not much prior knowledge of yoga. By the end of the session, I felt relaxed, calm and ready to take on the day. It's become part of my daily routine.

This is a fabulous CD! Especially good for someone like me--a total yoga newbie. Kimberly's voice is soothing and her instructions are vivid, yet not distracting. This is a great way to introduce yourself to yoga, whether you want to prepare yourself before taking classes or want to keep at it while on the road.
