Review: This is an excellent instructional DVD. As a beginner I needed the very basics and this DVD did all that.I would highly recommend it.

Summary: Yoga Sculpting for INTERMEDIATES!
Review: This video is NOT for beginners! I think intermediates would get more out of this video. I enjoyed the Jamaican scenery-very sunny, beautiful and serene. But, the first time I tried Yoga Sculpting, it was very stressful on my wrists. Since I do like the fact that the video is split into two 20-minute segments, I'm going to reserve this video for later use.

Summary: Challenging for advanced beginner to intermediate levels
Review: This videotape is great for those who are looking for a challenge beyond the beginner level of yoga. I started off with the Yoga Zone 5-pack over a year ago, and while I still love doing those workouts, I was looking for something different that offered a greater degree of difficulty. The poses and movements in the Yoga Sculpting tape are great for increasing strength and flexibility which improves muscle tone, and they are enjoyable to do. Like the 5-pack, the background scenery and music enhance the instruction, and the instructor and aid demonstrate the poses, one easier, one more challenging, so you can adapt to the level that's right for you. Overall, this is a great tape if you want to move beyond the basics.

Summary: boring and not a good work out
Review: This was way too slow and not challenging. I would recommend it for elderly people, or people new to working out in general, not just new to yoga.

Summary: Go at your own pace - you'll catch on!
Review: When I did yoga the first time ... I could barely do downward facing dog without cringing. But the next day, I felt amazing ... happy, energized, with awesome posture. I immediately went to amazon and got this DVD... Like with any exercise tape, don't over do it and don't do anything uncomfortable for you. Work in to it, and only go as far as you are comfortable. Even if you have to stop and just go in to the seal pose (yum!! How good does THAT feel!?) for a while, go ahead. You will be surprised how fast you will "work up" to it.
After all, even after that one foray in to yoga, I found doing downward facing dog to be like hanging out with an old friend. It felt so good. The instructors are very accessible - fit, attractive - but not annoyingly perfect and perky. They seem centered and loving yoga. The music is so soothing, the Jamaica setting is very appropriate (and so much better than the inside of the Crunch gym!) and contrary to what other people said, they are good about the breathing. They break down the pose, lead you through it and then show you how to add the breathing. It's very effective. Bottom line: It is tough - my first time, I couldn't do every single one - I tried and did modified versions (as in just staying in the "table pose" and not lifting my leg) and took my time. Yoga is not about competition and keeping up - it's about moving at your own pace and centering yourself. I would much rather have a DVD that's a little bit advanced so that I have something to work towards than one that's too simple and I conquer the first time. This DVD has me hooked on Yoga, you will be too!! PS - With some work outs... With this DVD (and yoga in general), I never think that, it just feels so good.
