More information on these tapes, December 3, 2000
This review is from: Yoga Zone - Yoga Basics 5 Pack [VHS] (VHS Tape)
As of writing this there was no info on what tapes are included in the pack so I did some research. Included are "Yoga Basics for Beginners", "Evening Stress Relief", "Total Body Conditioning", Introduction to Power Yoga" and "Yoga for Abs". Hope this helps!

Yoga Zone Lite, February 1, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Yoga Zone - Yoga Basics 5 Pack [VHS] (VHS Tape)
These tapes are apparently exerpted from the Yoga Zone half hour TV show that runs on The Health Network every morning. Each tape contains two 20 minute sessions led by a senior Yoga Zone instructor with another senior instructor showing the poses (and at times, showing the poses modified for the less flexible among us). If you enjoy the Yoga Zone cable show, then you will appreciate these tapes, since the commercials have been deleted from them. I started out taping the TV shows but much prefer these uninterrupted 20 min sessions. They are best when you want to do some Yoga pratice but cannot spare the time to do one of the 50 minute Yoga Zone tapes. The instructions are clear and the tapes are suitable for either beginners or intermediates. An excellent value.

Great for customizing your yoga workout, March 21, 2003
This review is from: Yoga Zone - Yoga Basics 5 Pack [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I bought the 5-pack about a year ago, and it's still my favorite set of yoga tapes today. There are two 20-minute segments on each tape which covers something a little different (yoga basics, yoga for abs, total body conditioning, intro to power yoga, and evening stress release). You get a great introduction to different kinds of yoga workouts, the variety makes it so you don't get tired or bored of any one tape, and you can pick and choose according to what you feel like doing on any given day. You can go through two sessions on one tape or mix and match and get a great combination workout. Even if you've done yoga for a long time, these workouts can still provide a nice change of pace--it's great for 'getting you back to the basics'.
The yoga sessions are videotaped at the Grand Lido Sans Souci in Jamaica which makes for a beautiful backdrop, and the background music enhances but doesn't get in the way. The instructors are good at explaining proper form and breathing techniques, and they help you set your frame of mind (i.e., having willful determination but non-concern for results and using yoga and breathing techniques to speak to any stress that you're feeling). Some of the sessions are definitely stronger than the others, but the different styles of all the instructors is preferable to hearing the same person go through the same workout every day. There is consistency between the Yoga Zone instructors in explaining proper form, and they give you options to make the poses easier or more challenging for you. This makes it so the routines can be adapted to individuals at different fitness levels.
Having a good variety of sessions to choose from and being able to customize your own workout makes this set well worth the money.
