5.0 out of 5 stars Vigorous and energizing!, August 16, 2000

This is a great tape. It consists of two "power"-type yoga workouts; one 30 minutes, and another that clocks in at about 20 minutes. Both feature poses that will challenge your strength, but in a good way. I think anyone can do it if they really concentrate!Al is a great instructor and he really explains the poses clearly. I'm not sure about the weight loss, but if you want to strengthen, stretch and energize, then this is your tape!

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than others, September 13, 2000

This video is really great. They give modified versions of poses so you can challenge yourself to varying degrees. They explain correct practice of poses and some common pitfalls. Great video for beginners, also good for intermediate.Definately a good workout, especially if you do the breathing technique described in the beginning. This is much better than the "Rodney Yee" tapes I've tried. My only gripe is that the music is kind of annoying.

5.0 out of 5 stars What were the people who gave it one star thinking???, August 10, 2001

I first saw the name of this tape on a recommended video list at DietSmart.com. Our climate currently limits one's ability to hike or bike outside; with a small child to consider as well, a tape seemed like a good option. I checked the reviews in this section and saw a bimodal distribution -- lots of 4's and 5's, and a small cluster of 1's. Since I've done some yoga and danced for many years, I tried it out. I honestly think the people who are saying it's too hard on the back are not listening to what the instructor is saying (I thought this meant he would keep you in the Camel position for 15 minutes!): he focuses a lot on breathing, lengthening and correct positioning, and his demonstrators give a modified version where one is possible. If you're new to yoga or to an exercise program, it might be wise to start with the conditioning section that comes at the end; otherwise, I think this is a great workout that tones mind and attitude as well as body. I've often blown off the meditative posture at the end of a yoga workout, but this video shows you how to use it in combination with affirmations to feel more positive about yourself whether you're losing weight or not. Love it!
