Summary: Perfect Supplement fo At Home Practice
Review: A few of the instructors at the yoga studio a practiced at recommeded that I purchase a DVD so that I could practice at home and experience a different aspect of myself ect.
The practive is without a doubt Iyengar, very methodical, but I loved the instructos in depth approach, and the DVD is easy to understand and follow along with multiple workouts from which to chose. Ive losed a few pounds since using this DVD along with my standard practice at the studio. From my standpoint this is a good video which is pefect for at home practice.

Summary: Former Lazy Person
Review: Hitting the gym wasn't for me, so I tried Yoga Complete for Weight Loss. I felt so much better about myself and how I look. After six weeks I lost a few pounds and was more energetic. Being that I used to be a lazy person, I look forward everyday to using Yoga Complete for Weight Loss. I no longer feel reluctant to work out. Not only did I lose weight but my inner strength improved as well. This dvd is great for anyone who hate to workout or never workout before.

Summary: Helping Me Reach My Goals
Review: I am a few pounds over than where I want to be and I got this DVD to help. The pace and exercises at the beginning levels are perfect for someone like me and there are a huge amount of poses and many routines to target different goals such as increasing your metabolism and building core strength. There are two other levels, Intermediate and Advanced, that I have looked at but not tried. Her interview is very nice for getting to know the instructor and understanding the purpose and approach of the DVD. If you want a way to learn yoga and help you lose weight, then this DVD is for you.

Summary: Let's start by stating that this is an Iyengar practice.
Review: I didn't realize that Mary was an Iyengar instructor until she started stacking up blankets to form a bolster, then I caught on.
If you already are practicing the Iyengar style, I am sure you will like this video. There are not a lot of Iyengar videos out there, and this is well done.
For those not familiar with the style, it is not a "flowing" style like Ashtanga. In a typical class you would work on a pose for a while, then work on a different pose. It's actually ideally suited to construct practices out of segments, as on this DVD.
It's a great way to really learn a pose thoroughly, even if you are practicing a different form of yoga.
By the way, ignore the "weight loss" title. There is nothing on this video that is specific for that purpose. If your aim in practicing yoga is to have an intense workout and burn calories, this is not the type of video you are looking for.

Summary: Feeling Better About Myself
Review: I found myself out of shape after some time of not exercising and eating too much I guess.When I tried to get back into shape I was discouraged because it was hard for me to do some more strenuous exercises after not doing anything. A friend recommended yoga to me as part of a plan to get back into shape, and I found this DVD a few months ago, and it has started to work. I am careful with what I eat, and use this DVD often. My flexibility is starting to return and so is my energy. I like the intructors encouragement, and her interview is great. Sometimes when I feel discouraged or think I can never get back into shape, I watch that part again. The various routines and times are a big plus for me, and her instruction is very good. If you are looking for something to help you I would suggest this title as part of whatever you are doing to get back in shape. The one thing that I should also mention is that it is not an aerobic exercise, though you will feel it and sweat at points. If you are looking for something that is more "power", then this may not be the DVD for you and you should probably not get it. If you are looking for something to help you get back on track, then this is perfect.

Summary: Great Variety To Help You
Review: I have really enjoyed this DVD. I am a bit overweight and wanted to do something. Yoga is good for that. Not too hard and there is 8 different things on the beginners level to work through. The instructor is encouraging also...

Summary: What Every Video Should Be like
Review: I have to admit to being very cynical and was when I picked up this DVD. I was interested to check out the amount of variety and of course the effectiveness of the programs contained on the DVD. Im glad I was wrong on this one. While so many fitness videos rely on one simple workout this one offers up tons of workouts allowing me to progess to the next level without having to go out and buy another one. Talk about value. I simply use the programs here along with a sensible diet and lost 30 pounds in 6 months!

Summary: Together with Pilates Complete for Weight Loss A+++++
Review: I picked up this DVD along with Pilates Complete for Weight Loss since at that time I had heard so much about the positive effects of each. Well I got two very good DVDs with lots of variety, that I honestly have not seen on other fitness videos. Both are good keepers. Great for everyday at home workouts or when I couldnt get to the yoga or Pilates studio.

Summary: Useful for informative purposes.
Review: I will definintely continue working through this DVD. The instructor is indeed extremely knowledgeable with incredible form. On the other hand, each routine is not a flowing practice. Each asana is filmed seperately, and then they're stuck together to form the different routines. It's a bit more reliant on props (blankets, blocks) than I prefer. It also really seemed too fast paced for beginners, and there seems to be almost no emphasis on when and how to breathe. What bothered me the most perhaps was I felt like I was listening to an over-syrupy, stereotypical kindergarten teacher. (Nothing against kindergarten teachers - they have a hard job and I admire them.) Still, by the end of the routines, I want to reach through the set and throttle the woman for being so saccharine. Still, I think that warmth and soft, high-pitched voice is soothing for some people. I will keep watching to learn new postures, but I think I'm going to stick with just doing what I've learned to music and not the DVD.

Summary: HAVE FUN and GET ON YOUR MAT!
Review: This cool DVD contains many different yoga sequences -- ranging from 30 to 90 minutes of practice -- offering you lots of choices to match your mood and goals. The instructor, Mary Pappas-Sandonas, delivers clear, engaging explanations as well as inspiring encouragement. Her demonstrations of the poses (asanas) are flawless. She also gives modifications so everyone can move into the poses at their own skill level. What's great is that you can learn alot from looking at her demonstration; at the same time, her explanations are so clear that you can listen to her descriptions as you do the poses simultaneously. Although the title of this DVD mentions weight loss, I found the sequences to be incredibly useful for other goals as well, such as pursuing a balanced yoga practice, getting exercise (in general) and having fun (in particular!).
