Editorial Reviews

About the Actor

Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, inspiring and innovative are just a few of the words commonly used to describe Evamarie Pilipuf’s unique programs and personality. As president of Tree of Fitness Inc., Evamarie makes skilled use of her versatile background in dance, exercise science, and the mind-body arts to create fun and challenging workouts that appeal to a wide range of abilities and goals. Her thorough yet easy-to-understand explanations, which she artfully weaves into her instruction without disrupting the flow of the routine, have become as much a part of her trademark as her stunning contortion and athletic skills. Audiences also appreciate her teaching style, which combines a down-to-earth and often humorous presentation with inventive, results-based movements, making fitness enjoyable as well as effective.

A 15-year veteran in the fitness and yoga fields, Evamarie is an ACE-certified group fitness instructor, ACE-certified personal trainer and ACE-certified lifestyle and weight management consultant. She is also a certified yoga instructor and holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology, and her expertise includes core strength and conditioning, stability ball training, and strength training for both function and body shaping. A professional dancer and choreographer, Evamarie’s extensive dance history includes classical ballet and Luigi-style jazz, Afro-Caribbean, Flamenco and other Latin dance forms, giving her programs a flair and finesse that’s uniquely her own. As a fitness writer, Evamarie has penned over 100 articles, ranging from the basics of learning yoga to uncovering common weight loss myths. As DVD host and producer, Evamarie is able to extend her popular group classes to those audiences who are unable to experience her Chicago area programs in person.



Product Description

If you love yoga but find that lack of time keeps you from practicing it, this is the DVD for you. Renowned instructor Evamarie Pilipuf has created four distinct yoga routines of differing durations and themes: a 25-minute "Abs and Back" routine that works and stretches your core, a 20-minute "Energy" routine that shapes your muscles with the sun salutation, a 15-minute "Compact Yoga" routine that provides an overall yoga sampler, and a 10-minute "Stretch and Relax" routine to open tight muscles and release pent-up stress. Each routine is a complete, free-standing workout, with its own brief warm-up, carefully designed series of postures, and soothing "mini" meditation. You can perform each one individually or combine them for those days when you have more time on your hands. Best of all, this DVD features Evamarie’s innovative style and programming: her clever and creative choice of targeted positions is matched only by her upbeat delivery and clear explanations. The perfect way to enjoy the benefits of yoga, even while juggling a busy lifestyle!

3.0 out of 5 stars Really pretty good for a "home made" practice!, October 8, 2006
By YogaKat "YogaKat" (Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
I disagree with the previous reviewer. This is really a pretty good dvd. It includes 4 short uniquely different yoga routines. Sometimes I don't have time for a full hour or more of yoga. Many yoga dvd's I've seen with different lengths of practice are just the same footage, but cut and spiced to give you a variety of practice times. On this DVD each of the four are separately filmed routines. They include the following:

Stretch and Relax (my favorite!), 10 minutes. You start with standing, breathing, and side stretching, and then you move on to the floor for hip openers. Very nice, complete routine in only 10 minutes!!! She holds the postures for a good amount of time (not a fast moving routine). You really feel the stretching. Also includes a very short Savasana at the end.

Total Body Express, 15 minutes. Again you start with standing postures, move to the floor, and then end in Savasana.

Engery, 20 minutes. Sun Salutation and warrior postures.

Abs and Back, 25 minutes. More (new) standing and floor postures. Some nice variety on classic postures!

I would agree with the previous reviewer that the sound quality is not very good (that is why I gave it a 3 rather than a 4 rating). There is an echo, but the background music is quite nice.

I like the pace of the practice since she holds the postures for a good amount of time. This is not a fast pace "power yoga" practice, but still quite challenging. The filming is in someone's living room in front of a large stone fireplace and Evamarie leads the instruction live (no voice overs). It may have been a bit more interesting if there were students participating in the class, but Evamarie is a very pleasant, thorough instructor. I would disagree with the previous reviewer on the "Better Sex through Yoga" dvd...this one is much better in content, but very similar in quality!

Please check my other yoga reviews on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a great time saver!, January 9, 2006
By Lisa Breward (Maplewood, MN) - See all my reviews
The two things I liked the most about this DVD, besides the obvious that it's a great time saver (my work and lifestyle pretty much ensure I will never have a full hour to do a yoga workout), are a) that the time durations vary, which makes it even more flexible to my schedule, and b) the instructor's choice of postures, which flowed nicely and yet challenged me enough to feel my muscles reap the full benefit of strengthening and stretching. I also appreciate the ability to pick and choose from the different themed workouts, it's great because I can just leave the DVD in my player and switch off from day to day. I would definitely recommend this DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Bed, April 14, 2006
I have been practicing Yoga for about 2 years, and I am very passionate about it - No I am not an expert. But I have about 50 DVDs in all. And even with the worst ones, I have always been able to learn something of great value, a new asana, a tp to get the asana just right, a pointer, help, an inspiring word that I can take with me in my other practices. I always refer to other customers reviews at Amazon for their words of wisdom regarding Yoga DVDs, and there have been near misses, but all in all I feel the reviews have been of great value to me in deciding what Yoga DVDs to purchase. I have never written a review because I felt that everything good and bad about the particular Yoga DVD had already been addressed and I had nothing of value to add. But when I watched this particular DVD - I was so outraged I felt I had to post a clear warning to all on how awful it really is...
That being said...

Yoga Express...
Where do I begin... Just plain awful Everything about it. I kid you not.
I purchased it because of it sounded great, 4 dif. workouts, quickies. I read a few good reviews by other who consider themselves in the "YOGA know"

The quality is just plain awful, much like the DVD series "Better Sex Through Yoga" (but that Yoga DVD series actually has a good Yoga workout within decent Yoga parameters - although the quality stinks).
What I hated:
1. Terrible echo, poor audio, poor visuals.
2. She exhales through her mouth! There's no mouth breathing in yoga!!! Simple first rule!
3. She trying her darndest to keep the down dog peacefull, then she cocks up her head and starts talking non-stop!?! And this is throughout the entire practice...

I am sure she is a wonderfull fitness instructor. But as far as yoga goes - what a BUST. I know I threw my money away on this one.
