5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for beginners, January 16, 2006

By	Lisa (Round Lake, Il) - See all my reviews

I have purchased several yoga DVDs before this one. I found that I really didn't know what I was doing or how the pose should look and feel. So, I decided to try this one. It gives step by step instructions on exactly what you should be doing for each pose, right down to which muscles to tighten and relax. I am not the most limber person in the world, and the DVD gave modifications to make it easier for me, always reminding me that it is better to use proper form.

Great Beginner DVD!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good start, February 21, 2006

By	luv2wkout - See all my reviews

I don't have too much time to workout but I wanted to try yoga because I heard so many good things about it. I was surprised on how simple it was to follow and it offers plenty of workouts that I can do with just a few minutes of my time. And even though the workouts aren't long, you can still feel it working! This is a great buy for beginners.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Too Little, May 31, 2006

By	D. Sherman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I did not like this DVD at all. It requires too many props such as bricks, belts, towels, blankets, chairs, etc... Each pose takes too long due to lengthy explanations. As a beginner I find this too boring and studio based and unable keep my attention. I feel it was a waste of money and don't recommend it.
