Product Description
A basic, beginners yoga program designed to increase flexbility, strength, stamina and muscle tone.
Amazon.com
A workout that balances both the body and the mind can be found in the Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies. Fundamental postures are explained and demonstrated slowly with an emphasis on breathing and motion. Sara Ivanhoe teaches 12 basic poses that are termed the "daily dozen" and offers challenges and modifications to each of these moves. Ivanhoe presents these concepts in an approachable and calming manner that adds to the overall relaxed feeling that this session exudes. Newcomers to the practice of yoga will learn jargon, essential postures, and focusing techniques. Experienced participants may find some information redundant, but Ivanhoe offers such thorough explanations about each posture that you can't help but expand your existing knowledge of yoga. As the mountain pose, standing forward bend, and downward facing dog are explained (not to mention the nine other poses within the "daily dozen"), proper body alignment becomes the focus. Meticulous attention is given to the connection between breathing and body movement with several reminders to keep the spine in "neutral alignment." This session ranks great for safety and content and makes yoga accessible to anyone who "always wanted to, but never did." This is a substantial program that can introduce the basics and build your understanding of yoga. --Olivia Voigts

I have been using this DVD for three weeks now, and in this short time, I have lost eight pounds. It is easy to follow. The Yoga portion has helped in stretching out and easing pain. I love working out to this.
 Good for basic beginners April 22, 2010
Sarah (Connecticut, USA)
I like this DVD it is simple and easy to follow. I have never done yoga before and found the directions to be easy to follow. I would recommend this DVD to someone who thinks they might want to take up yoga but does not want to dish out the money to take a class or join a gym to do so. I feel I'm learning basic yoga that I will be able to continue for many years to come from this DVD.
Basic but excellent January 31, 2010

This is the DVD that got me into yoga. The workout is good and isn't overly intimidating. Sara does an excellent job at explaining the poses and is wonderfully encouraging without talking down to the beginner. She reminds us that yoga is a very personal exercise and how important it is to work at our own pace. The Sun Salute extra portion is a bit more fast paced and challenging. It's great once you've gone through the more basic explanation of the postures in the first part of the dvd. The only thing I didn't like were the "for dummies" pop up alerts - totally unnecessary. I still do this dvd on occasion but tend to fast forward between moves as I don't need as much of the instruction anymore.
A Fantastic CD January 31, 2010

I needed to find a Mary Poppins CD, London version, for my 5 year old granddaughter. I found it through Amazon and I was delighted with how quickly it came. We are taking her to see Mary Poppins in Los Angeles and she has become well acqainted with all the music and lyrics by listening to the CD over and over again.The CD is fabulous and she just loves singing along as best as she can. The most important thing to me (as a language teacher) is that my granddaughter has become acqainted with a British accent. This will make the live performance even more enjoyable for her since the cast does sing and speak with a British accent. Caryl, Calabasas, CA
