Summary: What a workout
Review: As others have said this IS a difficult work out especially if you have never done yoga before. BUT if you have done yoga before and want a good workout, this is a great one to choose. My muscles are sore, but the good kind of sore! I can't wait to see results, and from these sore muscles I am POSITIVE I will see results.

Summary: Fantastic workout
Review: Challenging, it actually provides me with great back relief. I have been doing it 3-5 times a week for a month and my body has changed tremendously. My movements seem to flow better and my upper body is much more balanced. It really worked great for me.
Check out the MTV Pilates and recommend the MTV Yoga for anybody that needs stress relief!

Summary: Nice Job MTV
Review: definitely one of the better power yoga videos out there. the workout does start out at a quick pace like many reviewers have pointed out, but this owes itself to the common power yoga practise of generating a lot of heat in the body early in the workout to enhance the stretching and strengthening exercises that follow. sticking with tradition the pace slows considerably after the warm-up period ends. the instructor is perfect for the younger audiences MTV can expect in that she has a youthful, upbeat delivery, yet at the same time she's disciplined and adheres to the most important yoga prinicpal, which is focus on the breath. the routine is a nice balance of challenging poses you can do at home alone without needing to have added assistance that you would find in a yoga studio. there's a lot of emphasis on shoulder and hamstring stretching, and upper body and leg strengthening. the trance-like music is awesome too.my only real beefs with the tape are the lengthy and loud MTV commercials that precede the workout and the too short relaxation period at the end. would have given it 5 stars but for these. but all-in-all, a very good offering from MTV that will appeal to serious yoga practitioners.

Summary: Good workout, but it does have flaws
Review: I agree with a previous viewer in the fact that the warmup is hurried, and the positions aren't held very long, and the corpse pose is not held very long either. However, I would not go so far as to say that this isn't yoga. If you are the type of person who is very much into the spirtual side of yoga, and a slower pace with your yoga, don't bother. Besides did you REALLY expect spirtuality from a MTV ;-)? I have been practising yoga a few years now, and I found the video challenging and fun. There are some ashtanga-like aspects to the flow (kinda like an ashtanga-lite, for those who are not quite ready for the entire Primary Series :-)). Once you get past the hurried sun-salutations, the workout gets better. I particularly liked the balance and seated poses. I especially liked the variation with beginner, intermediate and advanced versions of poses. It gave me either modifications, or a way to deepen the pose. Some of the poses Kristin does can be found in the Primary Series of Ashtanga yoga (i.e. triangle, reverse-triangle, most of the seated stretching series, jumping in and out of poses, etc.). The Pilates at the end of the tape is not bad either, a good way to work on abs after a fairly intense 45 minutes. However, I don't think Windsor and other pilates gurus have much to worry about from Kristin as a pilates instructor. Overall, this a solid yoga tape for a person with experience. The level of the workout does assume you know a certain amount of yoga. I would suggest this tape/dvd to any intermediate/advanced student looking for an Ashtanga-like workout.

Summary: Fun & Challenging
Review: I am part of the MTV generation this video is geared towards, and I found it to be fun and challenging. It is definitely not for someone who has never tried any yoga and doesn't know how to do some of the poses properly because she does not give detailed descriptions during the workout. It may not be the typical "hold the pose for 5 breaths" yoga, but it is definitely an escape from the standard cardio or strength training workout. It's faster paced and harder than the first MTV Yoga video (which is to be expected when it is called power yoga), so if you're new to this type of movement I'd go with the first video. However, if you're looking for a yoga video with a lot more movement and harder poses than the typical beginner's videos, this is the perfect video for you! Some advice: unless you want to end up falling over onto the ground, watch the video carefully before trying some of the more awkward movements (like standing splits).

Summary: Brisk
Review: I bought the previous MTV Yoga DVD and was annoyed with the way the workout flowed. Something irritated me and I never touched it again. Having been doing yoga on and off for about 4 years now I am pretty familiar with the poses. This workout is pretty challenging and I wouldn't recommend it for the beginner. If you do this workout the legs will be worked out way more than in any other yoga workout. The arms are pretty nicely worked out too. However McGee's poses focus nicely to balance the whole body. After three days of eating sensibly and doing this workout I have abdominal muscles and already am toned and tight. This is a very good workout but definatly watch the video to get yourself familiarized with it forst.

Summary: disclaimer is true
Review: I bought this DvD hoping for a little more cardio in my yoga, what I got was a bunch of alternative looking twenty somethings doing things that should not be attempted if you are not already warmed up. Not only was the audio not synced, so you ended up watching her lips move independently of her words, but they don't tell you how to make to different yoga poises more doable for us less flexible until after you have done the move. So you have already tried to do the advanced move before the beginners. I pulled a stomach muscle trying to scramble back into one of the poses and haven't picked up this DvD since.

Summary: Not happy with this one !
Review: I don't understand why the pace of the poses go so fast, not giving a chance to stretch and lengthen to build strength ! It felt like it was an aerobics session, not at all yoga ! I actually did not finish doing the session as I got so frustrated 'cuz I felt I was being rushed through the poses...I just clicked the stop button ! Will be giving this away for sure !

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I have several yoga videos, and this is the worst of the lot. This routine just whips through the poses too fast, no time to hold any of the poses which is necessary to build strength. The music was really good, however.

Summary: Good workout
Review: I have the original MTV yoga and I find this to be a much better yoga workout. I had taken Astanga yoga classes at a studio for over a year but quit because of the expense. This is the first yoga videa that I have found that comes close to measuring up to those classes. I would definitely recommend this video. May be tough for a beginner but they can catch on quickly.
