Summary: Invigorating and very Effective Workout
Review: It is rare to find a workout in which you enjoy all the exercises. This is one of those exceptional routines that combines a sensuous flow of movement, motivational music and invigorating routines. The setting is striking and the music is perfect. This is actually a medium to fast paced workout in places and then at times it slows to a complete standstill as you relax into the poses. This is the "vinyasa" or flow of poses style. If you are a beginner, you have time to catch up while advanced and intermediate students are already in the "standstill" stage. I loved the way this routine can be adapted for all levels of yoga practice. While I've done yoga for a few years on and off, this has to be not only the most invigorating routine, but also the most enjoyable. My entire body felt warm within a few minutes and at the end I was convinced I had really received an excellent workout. My arms, legs and stomach could feel they had been put through the motions, yet I felt completely relaxed and in a good frame of mind as the routine wound down to a completely relaxed pace. Kristin McGee is an excellent instructor and her queuing is perfect if not the best I've ever heard. She knows how to translate her knowledge to the students all while giving the names of the poses and emphasizing breathing. You literally fall under her spell and do exactly what she tells you to do. There is no resistance. I was impressed with her creativity and especially enjoyed the unique hip stretches that felt so good. She explains the difference between the lunge and warrior poses and gives tips throughout the workout. You feel nurtured throughout your practice. Poses you will learn: Downward Facing Dog
Chaturanga - the most difficult yoga move I've tried, but they have variations.
Warrior One
Warrior Two
Warrior Three
Extended Side Angle
Twisted Lunge
Upward Facing Dog
Triangle
Boat Pose
Tree Pose
Baby Cobra
Locust
And more... The routine opens with breathing and this is emphasized throughout the entire workout. You will know when to breathe in and out and soon you will realize that in fact, once you get past the first 10 minutes, your breathing will become naturally more rapid in pace. You then will be doing standing postures, back bends, forward bends and all the poses listed above. The balancing poses were perhaps some of the most challenging moves and you might want to stand near a wall when first attempting those particular exercises. This workout is perfect for beginning, intermediate and advanced students. You will need a yoga mat and a block. These are items you can find almost in any store these days or are easily found online. Highly, Highly recommended! 10 Stars. Now in my Top 10 Favorite Workouts. ~TheRebeccaReview.com

Summary: Very fast paced, no ambiance, good for hardcore workouts
Review: If you like yoga because it's energizing AND relaxing, this one's not for you. With it's thumpin' bass and techno music, there's no relaxing with this yoga routine. It's very fast paced so if you're a beginner, you'll be frustrated. I'm fairly advanced and even I had a hard time keeping up! So if you are a fitness fanatic who wants to try yoga, this might be for you. For regular yoga practioners who enjoy the slower pace, the more spiritual side of yoga, I don't think you'll like it.

Summary: extraneous talking
Review: I thought it focused more on the fact that they had Lori (from the Real World?) than on acutal yoga. There is 30 minutes of stuff to fast forward through before you get to any workout. When I buy workout tapes or DVDs I actually want to workout not watch an MTV show. In fact, I bought the tape because I thought it might be set to contemporary, fast-paced music, like Inhale used to be on Oxygen network. I was very disappointed.

Summary: It's good
Review: I've tried yoga before and it moved to slow for me, but this tape is good for those of us who can't sit still. It's not to fast, but it's not going to make you fall asleep either. There are supposidly 3 people doing different levels, but most of the time they're all on the same level. The instuctor is okay, but a little to wide eyed for me. The music was to repedative, and a little to dance mixy for me. But all in all, it was a good tape. I can do it, relax, and feel at ease everyday. It's a great tape.

Summary: GREAT WORKOUT - EVEN FOR BEGINNERS
Review: If you have never done YOGA before, this seems a bit challenging at first. But after a few times it becomes easier (I think so at least). The instructor is absolutely excellent at coaching the viewer through each movement using the breath. Her voice is pleasant to listen to also. I guess since this was MTV's first attempt at a YOGA video, they used the poor marketing ploy of using Lori from the Real World. This is a great workout that can carry it's own weight without the help from mock celebrities. The second DVD is even better than this one, and I use both of them intermintently.

Summary: I <3 THIS WORKOUT!
Review: I wasn't too sure if I'd like this tape when I first bought it, but it was awesome. It wasn't too hard, but it wasn't too easy. Perfectly balanced for me (moderately active, trying to get into shape). I like how the instructor always reminds you to breathe and breathe deeply. It took only a few time for me to be able to do the challenging "chaturenga" (push-up like) pose & before I couldn't even do a push-up on my knees.

Summary: I LOVE IT!
Review: I have been wanting to start yoga, but some of the slow breathing gets me more ready for bed then to actually work out. I love the fast pace of this yoga and I love Kristen and Lori. I am not a flexible person at all, but I have definatley improved. This is AMAZING for your arms and back. By doing this yoga workout along with reducing calories in my diet I have lost 10lbs. I love it!!

Summary: Take a class instead, but if you can't this OK
Review: Far too short. Unimpressive DJ. Back up people who are supposed be showing modifications but aren't (ahem...Lori!?!) Did I mention far too short. The fast flow between movements is different than what I'm used to but all right (probably difficult for those who don't know the poses). The yogini is quite good and has got excellent breathing rhythm tho. An overall OK workout. Probably worth the 12 bucks I paid.

Summary: Take a class instead, but if you can't this is OK
Review: It's a decent yoga workout. Far too short. The fast pace between movements is different than I'm used to but all right (I could imagine it'd be hard on someone who does not know the poses). The instructor is great. The idea of having back-up people for different levels is good...if those said people actually do demonstrate the modifications and with good form (Lori!!). It would be more worthwhile to have experienced people doing modified poses so that you're not learning bad form (since they don't focus on Ms. Mcgee enough). But overall an OK workout.
