Product Description

Clean white sand and a cool predawn sky are the backdrops for this stunningly produced video, complete with an upbeat New Age soundtrack. Don't be put off by the MTV-like camera work, as this video constitutes an excellent, well-balanced workout. Ali MacGraw and a supporting cast of something-for-everyone models work through this 50-minute routine, overseen by yoga master Erich Schiffman. The first minutes focus on ujjayi breathing, then MacGraw leads us through a complete practice of shoulder stretches, sun salutations, back bends and twists, and standing poses. No equipment is required, but a sticky mat is recommended. Unlike other videos targeted for beginners, Yoga Mind & Body does not offer modifications for difficult poses and so is best suited for practitioners with some previous experience. --Jhana Bach

First is Best October 26, 2008
Andrea (B.C.)
This is still the best-selling yoga video of all time, and for a reason: Meditative but not boring music, an unpretentious leader in Erich Schiffman, poses that flow from one to the other, something for the beginner and something for the more advanced, and the most simple, wise meditation at the end. I am still using it and buying it in new formats after 15 years of yoga practice. Yoga video teachers, this is what excellence looks like!

Wonderful DVD...but...BUT October 20, 2008
Betty J. Valenti (Warren, Mi.)
I bought this DVD to replace my video. I first saw this on Oprah when it was released. I love the way it is shot, easy to follow and the music (Dead Can Dance) fits right in. The only problem with this DVD is that it lists on the back cover that there is a BONUS feature. An updated interview with Ali Macgraw but there isn't one. This has the same content as the original video from 1994.
Inspiring Video for Yoga enthusiasts September 20, 2008
stephen Luff (Worthing, Sussex United Kingdom)
I first bought Erich's book, and have found that the best all round book on Yoga. What I wanted was to see the pace they go in a standard workout. The video offers that and more. Routines at the back of the book differ slightly to the one presented in the video. However, one gets the exact feel that Erich is trying to achieve. I agree that he has a great voice which fits perfectly over the lovely music. The sand dune backdrop is magnificient. The elegance of the Yoga performers is inspiring. It's almost like Tai Chi. Learning from a video requires patience. It's best to master 10 minutes of the video and build from there if you are a true beginner. There is no quick fix in Yoga. A video is a useful tool, along with daily practice and plenty of reading. Once you learn the routine you can lengthen the workout to suit your own needs. I recommend you buy the book as well. The book is super. Self-learning requires patience with oneself. These videos and books show people that have been doing Yoga for years. The flexiblility is a tribute to their patience and perseverence. Vanda Scarvelli is a prime example of it's never to late to get really flexible.
You Might also like to try out some standing Qi Gong Routines. If you check my reviews I've suggested a few.
