Rating: Summary: This IS the one! Review: As a beginner, I found this DVD to be extremely easy to understand and follow. Ms. Corn's directions and explanations make me feel as though I have my own personal Yoga instructor! Looking forward to more DVDs from her!
Rating: Summary: Inspiring Review: As a relative beginner, I found Miss Corn's DVD accessible, and inspiring. I feel like I can use this video now, and grow into it as well, as my practice grows.
Rating: Summary: Really good sequence, but her voice is annoying. Review: Both myself and my husband (who was in the other room) think that Seane has a very annoying voice for a yoga instructor and she is VERY chatty. I could also have done without the new age hoo-ha at the end of the practice. Maybe I will try the second part of the dvd that is just music!
On the upside, this is one of the best yoga dvd's I have done, she explains the poses very well and I feel great the next day.
Rating: Summary: Finally, somebody gets it right... Review: Even though Seane is one of these perfect picturesque yogis who grace the cover of yoga media from time to time, she favors breath and proper alignment to pretzel-like asana and unnecessarily extreme poses. Her use of props (though not relevant to every one of my poses) helped breathe new life into the asanas that I have difficulty with. What I really enjoyed about this video is that I learned new things (be it a technique, adjustment, or prop-use) about the most basic asanas in my routine. I don't know if this new structure will help me to eventually touch my head to the ground in prasarita padottanasana, but I certainly feel more connected to the poses than before. And for me, that is what matters.I found the interviews with Seane very intriguing. She is more than just another pretty yogini, and her opinions on yoga give an intellectual depth to her asana teachings. I'd recommend this video to anyone starting out with yoga, who wants a proper foundation in which to achieve some of the real benefits of the practice (which putting your leg behind your head is not one of them). I have since bought this DVD for my Mom (who has been practicing yoga via videotape for five years), and she said that Seane's instruction has helped transform her practice into something much more powerful and meaningful than what she was doing before. If you are looking for instruction in yoga and are new to the practice, or feel that your intermediate practice needs refinement, Seane's DVD is the one to get.
Rating: Summary: finally Review: finally someone got it right. a well instructed dvd by one of the country's most sought after yoga instructors. i will practice with the first dvd for a while and then advance to the calming breath sequence that seane offered us on the bonus dvd.
Rating: Summary: A Great DVD for Beginners Review: I am a big fan of Seane Corn's classes, as those I have attended are both very spiritual and very challenging. This DVD, however, is more for the beginner yoga student. It's a wonderful DVD for beginners, but I wish it was labeled as such.
Rating: Summary: Call it "Bait and Switch" Review: I have heard about Seane Corn for years and was very excited about starting her program. As a novice to Vinyasa Flow yoga I was inspired by her excellent cueing and precision on the first DVD (I even bought blocks). However, the second DVD had me looking up her contact information to inquire how she expects practitioners to follow her without verbal instruction. I'm open for advice on enjoying my practice like she is. It's so frustrating lifting my head in down dog to find out she's already moved to the next step. I totally wasted my money.
Rating: Summary: Yes, good for beginners Review: I have to agree with the reviewer who said this is geared for beginners. If you're someone who has any familiarity with the Ashtanga primary series, looking for an alternative flow-type series, moving at a moderate pace, this DVD is not it.
Rating: Summary: Best Yoga DVD to Date Review: I have tried them all, and this one is the best yet. I have never got so much out of one single session. Seane Corn introduces a perfect blend of grace, poise, and strengh to her practice. I look forward to her next video.
Rating: Summary: A Welcome Addition! Review: I purchased this DVD on the advice of two friends and am FAR from disappointed! It is a welcome addition to my growing library of yoga DVDs. I do not consider myself a beginner anymore but feel challenged enough by the sessions to continue to use it frequently. Ms. Corn has the ability to be both soothing and encouraging throughout the sessions and I would gladly look for her future DVDs and would seek her out for classes if that were possible. The DVDs will have to do for now!She is the kind of yoga teacher that most of us search lifetimes for...
