5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest!, December 13, 2003

This review is from: Yoga Workouts for Dummies: Basic Yoga & Beyond Basic Yoga (DVD)

I am a non-athlete (and overweight) all my life, but came to yoga with spritual needs about five months ago. I am not a spring chicken either, so you can imagine how out-of-shape I was... I thought I should start with Dummies series. I bought them separately, but now I see them as a 2-pack and I think this should be great for somebody who really want to start from the beginning. Now I own several yoga DVD's and go to yoga classes regularly, but I still consider Sara Ivanhoe one of the greatest instructors. She has a non-judgemental, yet encouraging and thorough way to introduce you to the world of yoga. Too often in classes, instructors throw names of poses at you (sometimes in sanskrit) without giving you enough explanations. I still go back to these DVD's once in a while and understand the explanation even more each time! Overall I think the DVD's deliver what they claim.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love It, February 22, 2004

I Love this DVD set. Sarah Ivanhoe is one of the best video instructors I've ever had. She goes slow enough for everybody to get it, but not too slow. She's very encouraging throughout it all. I'm not athletic at all and I am certainly not flexible, but she makes it fun and reassure me that it's ok. The Dummies tips and icons let you learn a bit about yoga and it's just a lot of fun. I would recommend this to anyone, but especially those of us that aren't very athletic or flexible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for those of us absolutely new to Yoga, December 31, 2003

This review is from: Yoga Workouts for Dummies: Basic Yoga & Beyond Basic Yoga (DVD)

Before doing any exercise program on tape, I would always review them, and in looking at this DVD by Susam Ivanhoe I found her introduction to Yoga very insightful and great. I've been to Yoga classes before so I was not completely unfamiliar to the routines, but I found her explanations to each routine, and the way she thoroughly explained the breathing methods extremelly well done. The DVD itself also helped to bust some of my myths about Yoga. Now I can Yoga with the correct breathing methods, and the correct posture to achieve maximum results.
