Summary: I'm Impressed!
Review: I have done this video several times and relaly enjoy the workout. My wife is an ex-Jazzercize instructor and was impressed as well. I bought it thinking it would be a good way to limber up my 48-year old body for surfing, and it did! Really good work!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible yoga journey by the beach
Review: I just partook of this incredible yoga journey by the beach with beautiful music and I am thoroughly STOKED at how well it was all put together! The postures and the stretches are great and perfect for us surfers. I especially liked seeing all the awesome surfing while I was doing yoga...this is by far the best yoga video ever done!!

This will definitely help my body now that I'm 45 and have been surfing for 39 years!

Summary: OK, but a little short...
Review: I like the DVD, but it has a long "water session" of poses to do on your board in between sets that really isn't that useful (unless you plan to paddle out with your TV). Take out that section, and you're left with two 10 minute sessions that are OK, but not supurb. For a better workout, I recommend volume 2.

Summary: I Love this Video
Review: I love this video -- everything about it is so true. Even though I've practiced yoga for some time, I learned a lot from this program, especially from the post-surf session which has unique and effective rejuvenating poses. The music is enchanting and adds to the uplifting nature of the program. And the quality of this video is the best I have ever seen - gorgeous surf and beach scenes and top-notch editing between the poses. I recommend this video to everyone!

Summary: A great yoga program...pricey though!
Review: I picked this little gem up based on a recommendation from an online fitness friend. I wasn't disappointed.

The 3rd yoga session (about 19 minutes) on this DVD is THE reason to pick this one up! Excellent side and back stretches...my lower back feels soooo relaxed after doing this "post-surf" session! Peggy's voice is very positive and soothing during the relaxation pose. I didn't want to get up....ever!

Session 1 (pre-surf) is a nice 9-minute vinyasa series. I like to use it after running...it's quick and it gets the job done. However, I have to occasionally look up at my TV screen during certain poses because the instruction in this session is not quite detailed enough to follow by Peggy's voice alone.

Session 2 (water) was a big waste of time for me. Tt's a 6 minute session while the surfers are in the water waiting for waves (I don't surf). The stretches are pretty much all upper body. However, I would imagine that surfers could get something out of this session...just not me!

The only reason I'm giving this one 4 stars (instead of 5) is because there's really only 44 minutes worth of yoga on the DVD and $25.00 is quite a bit of money for that amount of yoga.

If you have a bit of money to burn, though. This is a great little yoga DVD!

Summary: Great for surfers and non surfers.
Review: I simply LOVE this DVD!

The pace is perfect, the music is perfect, plus there is surf footage! What else could you ask for?

The stretches hit all the right places and the transition from pose to pose is fluid. Peggy Hall's instructions are very easy to follow and I love her tone of voice. It is incredibly refreshing and upbeat compared to the mysterious tone most videos try to achieve. It truly makes an already fabulous video even better.

This video is exactly what I need to keep me in shape during the long flatness that is a Florida summer.

Regardless I HIGHLY recomment this video for surfers and non-surfers.

Summary: So Inspiring!
Review: I started surfing 3 years ago, and fell totally in love with it. Surfing completely changed my life, my perspective on who I am and what I can accomplish when I set my mind to it. I have also been doing yoga for about 5 yeas now, and always thought is complements surfing so well. So finding Yoga for Surfers made a huge impact on me. The videos are so inspiring, and I felt so good as I followed the sequences...I wish to personally thank Peggy Hall for engaging in such a great project as Yoga for Surfers and for coming up with these two great tapes! I believe this is going to help my surfing so much, I can already tell.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Workout
Review: I'm a 49-year old surfer living in San Luis Obispo, CA. I've been using YFS I for the last 2 years and start my day with it whether I surf that morning or not. I've found it's a great way to get my day off on the right track. I've also had great success with the in-the-water sequence and the post-surf "session". My wife and I have been using YFS II along with surfing and hiking for exercise. It's great! I hope they come out with another new routine. Namastay.
