 I am addicted to this DVD! October 6, 2008
Ms. Teri A. Isacson

I consider myself to be in pretty good shape, but I had never tried yoga before. On the reccomendation of a friend I ordered this DVD. I really love it.
Being new to yoga I knew nothing about any poses, how to get into them or out of them. The instructor in this dvd walks you through every single pose as you are doing it. I could close my eyes and get into every position just by following the instructor's voice. Having done a few other yoga dvd's now, I really appreciated how this one all flows together. Each pose flows into the next pose with a shift of weight and/turn of the body. You also get the beginners pose BEFORE the instructor moves into the more difficult position. This is different from every other dvd I have done where the instructor moves into the more difficult pose and then after a few seconds says something like "if this position is too challenging then try this" .. I learned modifications on this dvd that i have been able to apply to other dvds.
I am not sure what "power" yoga is supposed to be. I can tell you that this dvd is a full body work out. If you aren't feeling it then you aren't stretching yourself into the poses. I do agree with other posters though, this really a stretching yoga dvd. The poses are not difficult, they are effective. I really feel wonderful after doing this dvd and I use it at least once a week in combination with other yoga dvd's that I have. This one leaves me feeling limber, warm and refreshed.
That being said, if you are looking for a dvd with advanced poses and a high difficulty level, this is not the dvd for you. If you are a beginner, this is the perfect dvd for you.
This video got me hooked on yoga. August 17, 2008
K. Montgomery (Schenectady, NY)
It's been almost 15 years since I exercised regularly, and when I first tried yoga, finally trying to get into shape, I was bored by the slow pace but couldn't keep up with other cardio videos. With yoga, I felt like was breathing awkwardly and that I wasn't getting a workout at all.
But after experiencing years of chronic back pain with no relief despite physical therapy, heavy prescription drugs, and thousands of dollars in chiropractic visits, I was driven to try yoga again.
It was this video that got me hooked. When I concentrated on my stretches and following the techniques Kirsten (yoga master in this video) suggests, I was amazed by the almost immediate effect I felt. After just two workouts, my lower back pain lessened, and I began to feel more limber. My muscles began to tone up, and my body seemed to come alive. I could feel bones, tendons, and muscles that had been dormant for years!
Although I still have pain from time to time in my sacrum, this video has helped me feel better than I have in years! It is awesome!
 Relaxing, but not "power" August 14, 2008
Sarah Grace (San Antonio)
I really enjoy this workout, but I am a beginner in yoga, and even I know there isn't anything "powerful" about it. It is very relaxing and a great stretching workout, but I didn't break a sweat at all. It goes by fast, which I like. I was surprised by how short it seemed, but I did like it.

This DVD is a good basic Yoga workout. I like to do it once a week to stretch and work on core strength and balance. At 40 minutes, it is just right for me.

This DVD is fairly decent. I took a chance and bought it even though I had never done yoga before. It was actually pretty good for a beginner....but I do have to say, I probably wouldnt categorize it as power yoga. I did get a great workout with it. It gives you options for beginners, and then harder moves so you set your standards. I do have to say, there is a little too much talking in it but its only 34 minutes and it flys by. They constantly keep you moving into different positions. I would definitely give it a try if you are into yoga as an option, especially if you're new to yoga in general.
