I really liked the fact that the first video goes through each stretch slowly and carefully. After you get the hang of it, you can do the second video, a faster version of the same. I find in other videos or Yoga books, I am unfamiliar with the stretches and I fear I am doing them wrong. Here, you can master the stretch before zipping through the 30 min. second tape. A great buy for any beginner.

This is very well done. The educational version of the routine is explicit in instruction, and also applies the stretches and exercises to daily life and the movement it entails. Although the bios and humor are sometines a bit much, they are done in a sincere and inoffensive manner, and in fact, simply allow the user to proceed at a gentle pace, and gain the full benefit of the work. Once viewed, it is easy to make the transition to the routine sans extras. By the time you have completed the routine, you will feel vey relaxed, but physically comfortable, energized, ready to do whatever the day calls for. Both instructors advise the user to make choices, follow their own body's guidance, and I found this to be very encouraging, and effective as well. It's a good addition to any yoga library.

I have scoliosis in the lumbar area. My back pain was frequent and acute. After buying this DVD and doing the daily quick version 2-3 times a week, my pain slowly disappeared. I feel much better now, and I have to attribute it to this workout. Thanks Christa! I now practice yoga at a studio to complement this workout and it has truly made a difference in my life.

I haven't had a chance to go through the 1 hour session, but the under 30-minute session went so quickly that I almost needed to hit pause in order to get into one position before she changed to the next. If you are in a hurry and want something that will give you a bit of a workout but not give you deep stretches, the quick start might be fine. However, if you are looking for a video with a short routine that allows you to stretch well, this is not one that I would recommend.

I know this isn't a blog, but I'd like a reviewer to address the cost of 200. for this dvd set?
