Summary: Great Power Yoga Workout
Review: I work out to Yoga tapes regularly and really love the leg toning series - she works one leg at a time so you really feel it! Excellent tape - I wore out the first one and had to buy another!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great video but not for beginners
Review: I would say this video is not for the beginners. As long as you know the basic yoga poses, this is a great video for you. There is a 1hr or so session and the instructor is nice and comforting.
But this video moves too quickly to follow up for beginners. I never got through this video to the end. You will generate a lot of heat. Above all this is a great work out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enjoyable & challenging.
Review: I'm a yoga beginner, but I find that many of the beginner tapes aren't challenging enough to be interesting. This tape is fast paced (Power Yoga) with enough holding and repitition to be very challenging over 55 minutes. Also, no really difficult moves (like inversions) so it qualifies for the athletic beginner. I recommend this tape if you are looking to sweat a little along with your stretching.

Summary: This is tough!
Review: I'm an advanced beginner at yoga and this video really works me! So much, in fact, that i still haven't been able to finish the video all the way through (i poop out midway). I don't mind that, though. It means it's a video which i can grow into - and i like that quite a bit. Definitely a challenge, sweat-inducing workout.

Summary: Woo Hoo!
Review: I've been doing yoga for a couple of years, and every time I do this tape, it kicks my butt. I also think I get more of a sweat going with this tape, than from a conventional aerobics tape. Also, I think Yoga Zone's routines are very easy to follow. The instructors explain everything in good detail, as you can't always turn your head to look at the TV, when you're upside down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More strenuous than it looks
Review: I've got to admit: before this video I had an attitude about Yoga Zone. It was great that they were bringing yoga to a larger audience, but the yoga from their television shows seemed very watered down. I waited until this video was recommended by two people before giving it a try.

The first time I did this I sweat buckets. What really revs this workout up is the chairs and twisted prayers which are held for what first seemed like an eternity. Those asanas are part of an extended sun salutation which progressively builds. You start with warrior 1, then move into warrior 1, warrior 2. This continues until you have built into warrior 1, warrior 2, right angle, crescent, triangle. Throughout, you are interspersing the chairs and twisted prayers. Following the sun salutation are several balancing poses. They don't look that challenging on preview, but when your legs are quivering, you feel it.

This is a nice, challenging video, and I enjoy Lisa Bennett's instructions and tips, particularly to pay attention to the breath and not push yourself beyond a flowing breath. However, it would have been great if the video had begun with instruction on ujjayi breath and ended with a longer guided relaxation. This would have put the tape at over an hour, though, and maybe they were trying to keep it brief.

I would recommend this tape for being familiar with the breathing; however, beginners should try the Total Yoga series to get acquainted with the basics.

Summary: Just O.K.
Review: Since I have taken classes at Yoga Zone here in Brookville, which are wonderful, I thought how bad could a DVD be from them? Well, it was just O.K. I think that Rodney Yee and Barron Baptiste DVD's have much more to offer. It is too hard for a true beginner like my husband, and too slow for someone with over a year experience like me. There was too much explaining between poses. I guess, I just didn't like the format. The DVD might be good for some one who has been taking beginner classes and wants to do some daily yoga pracitce.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow! What a great work out!
Review: This has to be the best exersize video I've ever tried! Beginners, you may find it difficult at first, but you do the postures many times, so you should be able to get the hang of it. Loved it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yoga Zone: Power Yoga for Strength and Endurance
Review: This is a great video! You never know what you can do until you try. Yes the postures are hard in the beginning, but with a little pratice you too will be hooked on yoga!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good but not for beginners
Review: This is a very good video but definitely not for the beginner level. I got this one and the Yoga zone for Flexibility and Stress Release. I can't get through the whole tape without a break. The DVD says it's for all levels and they offer modified poses, but it definitely gets your heart rate up. The Flexibility and Stress Release tape said it was for intermediate levels on the box and it is very manageable. This tape will definitely give me a goal to work towards.
