5.0 out of 5 stars Great Upper and Lower Body Strength Workout, January 25, 2010

This review is from: YogaWorks for Everybody: Body Slim (DVD)

In addition to YogaWorks Beginners' AM/PM, and YogaWorks Fit Abs DVDs, YogaWorks has the BodySlim DVD whose focus is on weight loss. After trying out the other two DVDs, I was excited to work out to this DVD. This is an intense and challenging workout that increases body conditioning and strengthens the core. During the workout I could feel all of my muscles shaking and my heart rate going up. I like to challenge myself during this workout, but afterwards I feel so energized that it is all worth it. I am convinced that if I keep on working out to this DVD, I will continue to lose weight. I usually bring this DVD with me when I travel to help me maintain my workout routine and use it as an alternative to going to the gym.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome-sweaty-slimming!, June 26, 2010

This review is from: YogaWorks for Everybody: Body Slim (DVD)

Love this video. I have defined my arms and abs especially. I workout with it at least 2-3 days a week. Everytime I use it, im engaged and focused. The switching between standing poses(slow burn) and cardio moving makes it so that it is strenth and cardio.
I would rate this as a intermediate to high intermediate level yoga(but not advanced). When first did this video I had to use modfications(showing in video) or break at certain points, but dont get discouraged. I think that after 2 weeks, I was pushing through and feelng good.

Another reviewer gave this a 1 star because it wasnt a mind/body style. To that I would argue that any yoga is mind/body. Its your time with your body, breath, and your strength in building your power. This happens to be a slimming class which is moving, not still meditation. I wouldnt punish the video for being what it is. If you want meditation, this isnt for you. If you want strength and definition and weightloss- this is your video. Good luck. Namaste.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Instructional DVD and Great Price too., January 7, 2010

This review is from: YogaWorks for Everybody: Body Slim (DVD)

Intelligent yoga exercise sequence taught by a very experienced teacher from YogaWorks in Los Angeles. The instructor, Jesse Schein, gives clear and concise instructions during the main "Body Slim Class" segment which is just under fifty minutes long. This DVD also includes a fourteen minute "Learning Guide" by another YogaWorks instructor that covers the basic building block poses, how to perform them correctly and also the sanskrit names. Jesse Schein's "Body Slim Class" starts with some floor warm-ups and then progresses through a standing sequence. During the "Body Slim Class" Jesse talks you through the sequence and demonstrates it at the same time, while a room of students follow along. One of the students models a modified version of the sequence for beginners. Jesse is a very popular yoga instructor with a loyal following and teaches a PACKED class in Santa Monica. I highly recommend this DVD if you're looking for a challenging workout taught by someone that knows her stuff!
