Summary: Crunch - The Perfect Yoga Workout
Review: Great workout for the beginners in yoga. Sara Ivanhoe is easy to follow and pleasant to listen to. The workout is somewhat challenging but not too intimidating. I felt invigorated from the workout.

Summary: Great, total workout
Review: The power yoga section of this DVD is fantastic. The pace is fast and my heartrate is up within 5-10 minutes. Highly recommend for anyone who is used to a high-powered workout. No boredom with this one, and you break a sweat!

Summary: Way Too Slow by Too-Cutsey by Too Far
Review: I don't have a lot of experience with yoga tapes but to counter-act over-glowing reviews of this tape, to me, this fat-burning yoga tape goes way too slow. And I'm not a big fan of Ivanhoe. To me, she talks `down' to people as if we're slow-witted. I've also got Yoga for Dummies, with her leading the way, and again, it's the same thing. Way too slow, talking down. If you are supposed to time moves with breathing, well, forget it, because you'll take 500 breaths as she endlessly tries to catch her own breath by going on and on and on and .....

Summary: Great for those new to yoga
Review: I am new to yoga and really enjoy the "exercise" side of it. Both of the workouts on the DVD were a challenge to me. Sara does a great job describing the different moves. (I've also done a yoga video of Denise Austin's and she did not describe the moves well at all. I was lost the entire video.)I do not think these workouts are for those who have been doing yoga a long time. I enjoyed the DVD and would recommend this to any beginner of yoga. If you are looking to add some change into your exercise, this is a good place to start.

Summary: I Love Yoga!
Review: This video is really good! I burnt a lot of calories and the excercises are really to follow (thanks to the great instructor Sarah Ivanhoe). If you want to try some new way to burn fat, increase flexibility and balance in only 45 minutes then this dvd is for you! WARNING: Some poses may be difficult, but don't panic, they offer easier alternative to those poses!! Boy, did they thought of everything!!!! YOGA RULES!

Summary: horrible, slow, not fat-burning, ANNOYING instructor
Review: I bought the Fat Burning part of this DVD on video and it is very slow and certainly not fat-burning. The instructor is the most annoying I've ever found in an exercise video. I am not a yoga expert but an intermediate and found this too easy and not motivating at all. Don't waste your money.

Review: Some of the moves are hard for me as a beginner, but I liked this DVD.

Summary: ** GREAT ** Yoga programs for everyone!
Review: Here you get two great yoga workout programs for the price of one!! Both yoga programs are taught by the same instructor, Sara Ivanhoe, a motivating friendly face. She is a great instructor beginnning both programs by focusing on your breathing. Breathing is key in yoga!!!! In both videos, there is someone who demonstrates modifications of the yoga posture. So you can choose how to position your body depending on your flexibility and comfort--- essentially work at your pace! Of course another appealing aspect of this video is that it is on DVD. DVD's are fab! You can quickly jump around to different portions of the yoga routine--skipping certaining sections or just doing the ab workout, etc. The "Joy of Yoga" is a basic program focusing on leg stretches, like lunges, that would be good for runners (or after a long workout, stepping, etc.). Other poses included are downward dog and warrior. This program is approximately 30 minutes so it can easily fit into your busy schedule. The "Fat Burning" Yoga is a longer, slightly more advanced program. Most of yoga poses demonstrated in this video focus on stretching the legs and back muscles (e.g. lunges, side stretches, triangle pose, downward dog, warrior pose, etc.). At the end of the workout, Sara concludes with a six minute ab workout, stretches, and a brief relaxation meditation. Please be advised, the title may be misleading because you are not "burning fat" in the traditional aerobic sense like jogging. Moreover, I would recommend both programs, so buy this DVD and save yourself some money! Enjoy! Namaste! =)
