Yoga For Every Body

Rating:
Summary: I love this workout!
Review: The fact that you can pick your level and your routine is fantastic - it's so nice to have so many workouts in one DVD. I've done it many times, and haven't gotten bored yet. I highly recommend it, though personally I feel that beginners should take a few classes before starting an at-home practice.

Summary: No a big fan of the format
Review: The format is slow at all levels with every pose preceeded by the name of the pose (lull) and followed by a black-out on the screen (lull). It is not an ideal video for those looking to move continuosly through one pose to the next.

Summary: Has hooked me on Yoga
Review: This DVD was a great buy. 40 workouts on ONE DVD. You will never get bored. The beginner sections are just that, and the advanced has 1 or 2 pretty tough workouts. I like the pace of this DVD,what I would describe as steady. There is a pause between each pose with the name of the pose in sanskrit, this makes it very doable even when in the midst of all the standing poses(advanced)...My husband LOVES it as well and he is a RANK beginner who easily gets discouraged. The instructor is peacful, and gives detailed instruction..Some of the poses like shoulder stand she instructs for too long after the first 1 or 2 times through the DVD, so I just fast forward to the next pose.
I wish that maybe a power yoga DVD would be put out in the same scheme as this one, with multiple workouts. If they do that I will be buying it in a hurry...This is a great workout...I will be purchasing more difficult POWER YOGA DVDS for a more aggressive cardio workout...Although this WILL get your heart pumping(the 70 min advanced workout is pretty tough) Don't expect Ashtanga practice. This is more Iyengar based yoga. All levels will be happy with this DVD, but understand that if you are a beginner and your girlfriend wants to do this workout with you and she is advanced you will have to do differnt workouts. It simply has 12 workouts for Beginner, 12 for intermediate and 12 (or 14) for advanced. No way to make the beginner sections ADVANCED, just better to do the advanced workout.

Summary: Great Way To Start The Day
Review: This is a great DVD. I use more of the beginning exercises, since I am not very flexible, and I love the teachers soothing voice and gentle demeanor. I use it most in the morning to gently wake up before the kids wake up and I have to go to work. It has helped me with my back since the gentle movements help with my circulation and warm up my body before the chaos of the day begins. I highly recommend it.

Summary: If you buy one Yoga DVD, this is the one.
Review: This just offers tremendous value for the money, because it has so many workouts, and they are all good, and tailored to fit various needs: sore neck, stress, stiff back, hands and feet, etc. It also has a bunch of different levels. I thought it was much better than most Yoga tapes in terms of addressing the needs of beginners, but I haven't been a beginner in some time, so maybe I'm wrong. That issue aside, this is the best Yoga DVD to own--and beyond the variety it offers, I think JJ Gormley has a wonderful soothing voice, and gives great instruction to follow the movements--I never get confused the way I do with Quick Fix Power Yoga where I have to constantly look at the screen to figure out what they're doing.

Summary: Yoga for Every Body
Review: This Yoga for EveryBody is worth your money. It has the different programs that will suit everybody's needs. I'm one of those who easily lose motivation when I'm doing same exercise everyday. When this DVD at hand I can pick which body part to work on and the level that fits my energy for the day.

Summary: I enjoy This
Review: ught this with the idea that I really couldn't do yoga, but since it said it was for Every Body - I figured that was me. I went to a yoga class - actually 2 different ones, and I thought yoga wasn't for me. This dvd changed my mind. The classes always seemed to rush through everything and I felt lost. This video had a nice slow, clear pace that I could follow. Some of the things I like most are the most simple things on it - exercises for the hands and wrists and the eyes. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot that is challenging as well. I have ordered the "Power Yoga for Every Body" from the same company and looking forward to that.

Summary: Annoying, slow, and overrated
Review: Why, WHY do these DVDs have to be done by flower children with goofy music and an an incredibly slow pace? You are better off going to Yogajournal.com and printing out the poses there. What a rip-off. Just because it has numerous workouts, doesn't mean it's a wise purchase. I wish someone would do this right! Save your $.
