5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Vinyasa-Style Intermediate Workout, October 29, 2003

I love this product. I have owned the Yoga in a Box beginner level for some time now along with numerous DVD's, and Yoga in a Box is by far my favorite. Being in a small town and having a 3 and 5 year old it some what limits my ability to find a decent place to practice Yoga. This has solved my problems. While the cards are somewhat flimsier than the cards in the beginners set they are still awesome. Cyndi Lee's voice is perfect for leading a quality workout very calming not at all like the fitness guru turned yoga instructor that I find at gyms. While it still includes some asanas from beginners you also begin working on headstands, downward dog split, staff pose, warrior 3, dolphin, etc. The music CD is much more relaxing than in the beginner set, very easy to listen to and meditate or do a yoga workout. I highly recommend purchasing this set. It still has the stick figures and an explanation of how the pose benefits you on one side and Cyndi Lee performing the pose on the other side of the flash card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best out there, February 10, 2005

This review is from: OM Yoga In A Box: Intermediate (Hardcover)

I've been practicing yoga for about 10 years now and definitely think that this is the best product on the market for at home practice. I like Cindy Lee's instruction and think that the CD/ flash card format is the closest to actually being in a yoga class. If you've been practicing for a long time, this makes a nice gentle practice before bed, but if you're just beginning yoga make sure that you supplement this with some actual class instruction. Some of the postures are a little advanced, including headstand and full bridge and I would not recommend trying them unless you're already familiar with proper allignment-you could hurt your back or neck! Overall, I think this is a great product and recommend it to anyone who is already familiar with yoga!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Quick Home Practice, November 10, 2004

This review is from: OM Yoga In A Box: Intermediate (Hardcover)

I've taken classes at the Om Yoga Studio here in New York as well as at several other Yoga studios... I bought this set as part of an attempt to begin a daily yoga practice at home in addition to twice weekly classes. I find the instructional CD to be too slow-moving/easy for me, but using the flash cards and music CD, I can create a short daily practice that works for me. I wouldn't recommend using Om Yoga in a Box or ANY yoga cd/book/video as a substitute for real, live yoga instruction, however. So much of the alignment and correct breathing and meditation is better learned with feedback from an instructor. This works well as a supplement, however.
