I am enjoying this tape and feel like I am getting some good out of it. Linda is a good instructor. She does each sequence of poses three times and I am able to push a little further each time. There is a second instructor who shows an advanced form of the poses. There is not a wide variety of poses in this tape but she keeps you moving throughout the routine. I have all four of her tapes and this is not my favorite but it is still good. There are a few times when she doesn't cue pose changes when you are not looking at the TV.

Linda Arkin explains the poses thoroughly and doesn't rush. Since more challenging poses are also demonstrated, you can stick with this video for a long time. I did get a little burned out on the synthesizer music in the background, but the scenery is beautiful.

This is a marvelous video and the best priced yoga video series on the market. Linda Arkin has a gentle approach yet challenges the more intermediate practitioner by having alternate poses demonstrated. Easy to follow and results in a great feeling of a well rounded routing.

I found this tape to not be very challenging at all. Linda Arkin might be a good teacher, and very concerned with proper technique, but the pacing is much too slow. She also talks throughout the entire tape, and spends the first 15 minutes of a 45-minute tape on chatty introductions to the sequences. That leaves 1/2 hour to practice 3 or 4 moves. If you're looking to build on previous yoga knowledge, then this tape is not for you.

This video is wonderful!! I find it very challenging, not for beginners, but a perfect addition to any yoga library. There were new and interesting poses, as well as some of my personal favorites.
