Summary: One of My Favorites!
Review: This is a challenging and fun workout. I work up a great sweat with it, and it rivals "Yoga for Strength and Endurance." I always have a hard time deciding which one to pick when I do my practice.

Summary: My 2 cents...
Review: This is a great tape for building heat and sweat. The increased number of awkward chair postures and repetition of Warrior 1, if used to your maximum ability, really get you sweating. So, play around with it and make these as hard as you can without hurting yourself of course. Any conditioned level of person, from total beginner to really advanced, can get a good workout from the first section. If you are not a beginner, you "should" know that modifications to make asanas HARDER (not just easier, with blocks etc.) are there to do. For example, go deeper into a pose, get your thigh at 90 degrees to floor in Warrior 1,2 and lunge poses. Also, take awkward chair as far down as you can go and tuck the tailbone while reaching up as high as you can, putting palms firmly together. Modifications such as these make any Yoga workout tougher if you want it to be. I highly recommend the Yoga Zone book for beginners; it covers more material than all the videos put together. For those who did not notice: the bonus workout may LOOK like the first one, but the postures are very different because you are striving to maintain a completely extended spine throughout. For example: the forward bends don't have you hinging at the hips like is usually done; in this workout you tuck the tail and round into the forward bend. Again, focus is on the SPINE throughout, with directions to put most effort into spinal extension rather than the usual parts you're strengthening or stretching. My back feels great after the bonus workout. I hope this review is helpful.

Summary: Vigorous and energizing!
Review: This is a great tape. It consists of two "power"-type yoga workouts; one 30 minutes, and another that clocks in at about 20 minutes. Both feature poses that will challenge your strength, but in a good way. I think anyone can do it if they really concentrate!Al is a great instructor and he really explains the poses clearly. I'm not sure about the weight loss, but if you want to strengthen, stretch and energize, then this is your tape!

Summary: nice addition to the yoga video collection
Review: this is some where in between a regular beginning/intermediate yoga session and a power yoga workout. it's a relatively short (30 minute) session that is usually good for working up a little sweat. it has the activity level of power yoga but with the less challenging poses more commonly associated with the beginning/intermediate level. also, it doesn't have very many stretching poses so don't look to this tape as something to really enhance your flexibility all that much. i already had yoga zone's flexibility and tone video and their power yoga video. i feel that by adding this one i have a fairly complete set that keeps me interested and gives me a diverse workout when used in rotation with the other two.

Summary: Great Video for beginners
Review: This video is great for anyone looking to get into Yoga. Instructor Al does a great job of taking you through the whole work out pose by pose, with clear instruction. You are left with no doubt that you are doing it right.
As well you will also acheive visible results from the video, and you will be able to feel the affects of the video the next morning.
Though with any work out video it may take two to three times before you really get the hang of it.
This video really gave me the Yoga bug, and helped me to develop a real appreaciation for Yoga and it's benefits.

Summary: Much better than others
Review: This video is really great. They give modified versions of poses so you can challenge yourself to varying degrees. They explain correct practice of poses and some common pitfalls. Great video for beginners, also good for intermediate.Definately a good workout, especially if you do the breathing technique described in the beginning. This is much better than the "Rodney Yee" tapes I've tried. My only gripe is that the music is kind of annoying.
