I had every intention of following along with this DVD. I warmed up. I stretched out. I cleared a nice space on the floor. I even lit some candles and incense to set the mood. But once I popped in this DVD, all my grand plans went down the toilet. Too bad, because I really wanted to learn their Yoga Secrets!

My first hint that this wasn't going to be basic yoga was the disclaimer before the yoga even starts about how the creators are not liable for any loss in connection with the exercises demonstrated in the DVD. Yikes!

The men start off by doing partnered handstands and armstands in their "tighty whities". I spent a large part of my youth doing gymnastics so it was fortunate that I could keep up with this exercise even without a partner. But not everyone can.

They use props such as wooden benches and what looks like a wooden fence of some sort (I guess it's the yoga equivalent of the barre in ballet). I know lots of people who do yoga but none of them own any of these props. (Hard to believe that wooden fences are not standard yoga issue these days!)

It doesn't take long for the men to shed their underwear. The men then go on to pick each other up off the floor for some of the positions. Needless to say, I dropped out early trying to keep up and I just became a spectator for the rest of the exercise.

I found the background music to be relaxing. I also couldn't help but notice that the camera focuses more on the mens' genitals than on the poses they are trying to demonstrate. Good thing the men happen to be very easy on the eyes.

After the 40 minutes of Yoga Secrets were over, I checked out the special features on the DVD. The "outtakes" were amusing. Among other things, it shows the men fidgeting and falling out of their handstands and other poses, etc. while the director is yelling out various instructions.

I would have given this DVD a higher rating if the yoga demonstrated in the DVD was something that could have been followed more easily by the average person. But I guess the only people who can keep up with this DVD are a bunch of guys standing near a wooden fence who take off all their clothes and pick each other up off the floor.

I'd recommend purchasing this DVD - but only for the entertainment value, not for the yoga instruction.

What started out as a Valentine's Day gift to my wife turned into an embarrassing gift to myself. Whoa, what a shock and wake up call! We started out trying the various positions, but distraction soon turned to erection. Not for my wife, but for my new best friends.
I guess my advice to you is to purchase this only if you are VERY secure in your sexual orientation.

ok, if you are looking for an artistic presentation, but not much on instruction.

I highly reccomend this beautifully done DVD. Visualy it is Superb in that the men are all "Gorgeous," and the fact that they are all Naked is icing on the cake(so to speak). This is not for beginners or even intermediates,at best I would have to say it is of the Highest Level of Yoga......I was somewhat dissapointed in that I would "never" be able to participate at this level. However, It is stunnigly filmed and beautifully crafted. So it with this that I give it the highest rating....

This video shows how yoga can be very sensual. It is very visually stimulating and I highly reccomend it!

I bought this so I could have some eye candy while I worked out. And I guess it was interesting enough to watch the muscular men do various positions. But the yoga positions they are doing are totally impossible for the average person. I would say they are nearly impossible for the serious athlete as well. Maybe a seasoned gymnast could do them, with help. It was like watching naked cirque du soleil. Anyways. Useless to me.
If you want to work out, get something more practical. The average person won't be able to do even a quarter of the positions. If you want to see nudity, them buy porn.

.... Six guys, nude great, but there was completely no interaction at all. I saw nothing sensual about watching stone figures going through yoga movements. In other couples yoga videos the people are working together, their bodies are interacting, corresponding to each other and at least they look at each other....

I was very skeptical when I first purchased this item but it turned out to be the best investment I ever made. I am very impressed with the quality of the video and the instructors knowledge of Yoga. This video has really helped me with my hockey mobility and at the same time had lots of fun!!!!

For those Men who are interested in getting involved in a Yoga practice, this is the video to get.Naturally, the video cannot go into all aspects of yoga, but it is certainly a beautiful work that inspires men to do yoga...in the nude and with a partner.A great tape, I hope there are many more videos made like this.

As a foolish amateur, I believed that a black costume, hood for disguise, diamond-tipped throwing stars, and a cool nickname (I chose "A.J.") was all I needed to be a yoga master. "Yoga Secrets--All Male Nude" not only brought my yoga ignorance to the forefront, it taught me that being a yoga practitioner is as much a responsibility, as it is a way of life.

Clearly wise beyond his years, Masaaki Hatsumi provides us with detailed insight on what it takes to be a yoga master. From "Silent Footsteps" to "Hands of Rage", Hatsumi will teach you all the techniques you need to be a successful yoga master in today's slowing economy and lukewarm job market.
