4.0 out of 5 stars Great stretch!, January 4, 2009

By	C. Miller "Cmiller" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This dvd features yoga poses that are all done using a stability ball. I've never tried yoga with the ball before, but I found it to be a great addition to support your weight so you can really focus on the stretch. Most of the poses in here are beginner level with the ball mostly used as a modification. There are some sun salutes, lunges, side twists, warrior sequences, etc. I've tried several other yoga dvds and taken a couple of classes, but I got the best stretch out of this one because of the ball. The instructor was pleasant and provided adequate commentary on form and breathing without going overboard (there is also an option with music only). I would recommend this to anyone who is new to yoga/stability ball, or anyone who is just looking for a great stretch; Intermediate level users might be disappointed with the slower pace.

4.0 out of 5 stars An opportunity to explore, May 23, 2009

By	C. Everett (Chicago IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a slower practice that tends to target the lower body and has quite a few twisting postures in it. You could say the slower pace makes things easier, but you could also see it as a chance to fall deeper into your poses.

There are some poses I don't do on the ball.. such as Eagle, Temple, Fan, and Warrior 3. If you ever feel the ball isn't working for you, simply roll it aside and grab it again when you need it. Remember: it's an accessory - not a necessity.

Sara's right when she says that using the ball might allow someone to get into positions they normally would not be able to get into without its support. But what I personally enjoy about occasionally doing yoga with the ball is that it gives me an opportunity to explore certain poses differently.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for All Levels, June 5, 2009

By	Marie - See all my reviews

I have many different yoga dvds, including super advanced and this has a definite use for my practice. the exercise ball helps you to further identify areas of tightness and weakness that you might not be aware of when performing power yoga type practices. Some of the bonus clips give you preps for handstand and scorpion pose that are great for the lower back. I hope that the instructor produces another video in this series.
