4.0 out of 5 starsAccept it for what it is
By Jeffrey C. Narvil on March 31, 2005
I have been using this DVD for two years and have not found it boring. I will agree with some of the posts here that to some it may seem slowpaced, but I consider this to be a plus. The several minutes spent on each pose, including getting into the pose, makes it actually very physically challenging and the more I have progressed the more I have come to appreciate the time spent loosening the neck and inhaling before looking up. If you simply want to bend over as far as you can and then move to the next pose with a beach in the background then this is not the DVD for you. Yes, the poses are taped individually and there is a black screen between them but I welcome this as I have done so many of the dozens and dosens of combinations by now that I like to know what is next since I cannot recall the variations in each one, drink some water, skip a track sometimes, etc. As a dad who works at home, this DVD routine seems ideal as it can be done on mute once you get used to it and it does not require chanting or any visualizing. I do not personally believe the kayaking selections are better for kayakers than the rock climbing ones are, but to me, that is not the point, and after a while, it is great to simply have so many combinations of area (legs, hips, abs) and times (20-60 minutes). When I first started with it, I felt I did okay, but now with 2 years practice, I realize how much better I have become and have noticed a remarkable toning up of my legs (but my upper body has not progressed as much; my waist is slimmer but not rock hard). To me this DVD is no non-sense and engaging and is more about feeling your muscles burn than the trappings of yoga often marketed in the media. My wife attends yoga classes and claims some of the names of the poses differ from her class but that my results far surpass even what her instructor is able to achieve in a classroom situation.

5.0 out of 5 starsYoga Journal Editors Pick For Good Reason
By Josh Hammond on October 15, 2003
I run, bike and lift weights at a gym to try to stay in shape. I also play in softball and besketball leagues (nothing serious but a fun way to get some exercise.) Some running magazines recommened yoga, which I started to do some yoga a bit.
Then I saw the Yoga Journal (which I started reading a few months back and also recommend) had made this DVD their editor's choice in the September issue. I figured they knew what they are talking about, so I picked it up. And I am really glad I did.
It is perfect, and accomplishes what it says; it is has increased my flexibility and helped me with all of my pursuits. The set up is easy, and the ability to target different parts of your body for different sports is great. If you are looking to implement the benfits of yoga to help with your sports then you should pick this up, well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe future is now!
By Kenneth Michael on February 25, 2003
What an amazing concept! As a triathlete I make a substantial time investment in swim, bike, run training. This DVD allows me to select the sport I want to focus on in the first menu selection, then the body part and amount of time from the second menu. With time as a precious commodity, I can follow a 40 mile ride with a 20 minute hip routine or on an "active rest" day do an hour with overall running as the key.
Just for kicks, I've checked out what the teacher suggests football players do for a shoulder routine. It was a nice change of pace! This disk has well over 100 routine options. A true bargain when compared to a one routine video.
Since adding yoga to my training program, this 50 year old guy will see many more tri-seasons! And this is what DVD is all about. Multiple configuations... we'll see more like this I'm sure!

2.0 out of 5 starsBig disappointment...
By Skygazer on October 17, 2004
Verified Purchase
I am a rock climber and was really excited to try this dvd. When I read others' reviews that said the dvd had "no flow", I figured it wouldn't really bother me (I love bikram yoga - and often the poses don't actually flow together). But this dvd is ridiculous. EVERY pose is literally seperated by a black screen and announcement, then most of the poses are done painfully slow. The poses are cut and pasted to fulfill the many, many options for work-outs, which really aren't that different (I've fast forwarded through a lot of them). It you have any yoga experience, this will drive you nuts! Also, there is absolutely no warm-up, and only some of the poses suggest a modified form. My friend who is an avid cyclist and also occasionally does yoga, agrees that this dvd is a huge disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhat A Gem!
By A Customer on February 9, 2003
Here's a DVD that could keep you busy for months with all the pre-mixed workout chapters available on it. The main menu has chapters for your chosen sport; for example, golf, running, skiing, and loads of others. Under each of those categories are many yoga workouts ranging from 20 minutes to an hour in length. You can choose from such workouts as full body, shoulders, legs, and many more (and also with a variety of lengths).
The yoga itself is what I refer to as "general" Hatha style. It is slow-paced, and each pose is held for a little while, allowing you to really get into it and feel the stretch. I consider myself an intermediate-level yogist, and I find this neither too easy nor too hard -- it's just right. A male exerciser performs the exercises, and there is a female voice-over giving the instruction. She is very helpful and precise, often giving you that one little hint that makes all the difference in the pose. The set is a little bland, which is something of a drawback, but who's looking at the TV anyway?
