5 out of 5 stars A work out video I can get behind   September 3, 2007

I have several yoga dvd's I've boughten trying to find the right one. I was pleasantly surprised by this dvd. I have had previous injuries to my joints but I can still do it no problem. It also gets my heart rate up. I would reccomend this to anyone.

This isn't a relaxation type of yoga. This would be more associated with power yoga or pilates. It get's your heart rate up. Though it does still use traditional yoga poses, it just moves through them at a slighlty faster rate.

I picked this DVD up cheap at the local discount store and was pleasantly surprised to find it not only enjoyable, but aerobically effective too. The routine is brisk enough to raise my heart rate, and the poses are (for me) sufficiently challenging to make them interesting. Also, Freytag's cueing is exceptionally good - clear and dynamic. My only complaints are: the final stretch session is very brief and the bouncy, cheesy, synthetic music becomes a bit irritating after a few repetitions.


5 out of 5 stars not so easy   July 26, 2007

This is a great exercise dvd for those of us who want to work out without hurting ourselves. It may not be the one for fitness fanatics but if you are fairly fit, just not in the best shape of your life, and wanting to get back some of what you've lost, this is a good one to start with. I've been checking out workout dvd's at the library to prevent wasting money on those I'm not ready for, or am uncomfortable with. This one is a winner, it's not too easy, not too hard. The movements are fast enough to work up a sweat and challenging enough to prevent boredom. Just the fact that the trainer is not annoying is a plus.


5 out of 5 stars Great aerobic yoga workout   April 23, 2007

I'm on the cusp of turning 50 and am on a crusade to regain my health through diet, exercise, and meditation. I practiced yoga in my 20s and was unsure how I would do nearly 30 years later.

I became inspired after hearing Mariel Hemingway speak at a women's luncheon. I bought both of her books and got her yoga series "Yoga Now" with Rodney Yee. I love that series but then found this DVD. I am a "Dummies" fan so was thrilled to come upon this workout.

I alternate between the 3 DVDs (Yoga Now has two DVDs - one shorter and the other nearly an hour long) - depending on how much time I have.

I must admit that I think this is my favorite of all the yoga DVDs I've viewed. One of the main things I like about this DVD is it gives you a good warm up and cool down. So many of the other DVDs I've experienced that say they're for beginners just plain aren't. They jump right in with fairly complex poses with virtually no explanation.

Chris may appear a bit robotic to some but I think she is a good instructor. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone interested in a great aerobic yoga workout!

I have never done any type of yoga before, and I am no gym junkie either, but I did not find this workout too hard to follow...just don't expect to completely hang with it at first - you have to get to where you know what's coming next, and some parts will always be easier than others. Challenging, yes, but just enough. I like the pace and it really does get your heart rate up. Chris is a bit of cheesy robot but I like her. Great routine!
