Summary: Love this!
Review: It took me a long time to get back on a regular exercise program... but when I tried this, all that changed! I really like this video. It is a long routine -- 45 minutes -- but as a full-time working mother, I feel like this helps me not only excercise my body, but my mind and my soul as well so the length is quite a bargain. It is exactly what I need after a long busy day at work and running after my 3 year old once I get home. I use this exercise as my own personal time or "escape" and the video allows me to quiet my mind, relieve me of tension and stress; all while gaining a better body! I've had this for over 2 months now (even had to switch to DVD, which came with a nice booklet!) and not only have I noticed and felt a difference in my body, I'm actually still not tired of video. In fact, I can do the routine without watching the video anymore but still pop it on the player because I enjoy listening to the relaxing sound of the narration, guiding my "timing" and telling me what a certain pose is doing to my body (e.g, the benefits you get from twisting, etc.) Since this was my first yoga experience, the modified poses (in the background) helped me very much in the beginning. However, in just a few weeks, I can follow most, if not all, of the full poses. I also like the mood setting: simple and serious, yet gentle and focused. By the way, I also had to buy a mat and a strap (but was OK using a rug and ordinary belt for a while) Namaste.

Summary: The best I have found!
Review: I have been doing this tape for a couple weeks now and I am really enjoying the tape and the results I am noticing. This is the first tape I have found (and I have done many)that really teaches me about how to benefit spiritually as well as physically. Suzanne gives you time to focus on each position and your breathing. She explains the importance of breath in detoxifying your body and mind. Very important stuff. I have noticed more flexibility and better tone in my body. While my scale still reads the same number it did before I started, I do notice a difference in how my clothes fit. Muscles weighs more than fat, right? I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to learn yoga for toning, balance, and the spiritual/meditative side of yoga. The only downside of this tape is that it is a bit longer than I like. So sometimes I fast-forward to the parts I really want to benefit from.

Summary: Yoga for Weight Loss
Review: I have to say how surprised I was that I enjoyed this video as much as I have! The first time I completed the video I felt incredible! I used muscles that have been dormant for awhile. I did break a sweat, but maintained steady breathing. I was able to walk, talk, breath, etc....normally the next day which encouraged me to keep it up. Some workouts leave you feeling so sore and spent that your motivation decreases along with your drive to do it again. I loved the scenery, music and detailed instruction. Enjoy!

Summary: one of the best beginner tapes i have ever owned
Review: well i have a collection of yoga videos that are for the most part too hard for me to do comfortibally. Some are beautifully shot. Some are inspiring. Some are great to watch -- especially the women in them (and they are almost always star beautiful women)-- unfortunetally most have left me finding subtle excuses not to practice yoga. I admit the following :I am a beginner. I am out of shape. I am also a little lazy. This being said, let me also state that I like this video. I find myself wanting to do Yoga everyday. I find myself enjoying the Asanas. sweating , and streaching and really getting involved in yoga. I get the feeling with Suzan's tape that she is really aiming to try and teach you, with care, patience and even maybe a little love. Seeing how good shape she is, it would be very easy for her to make one of those other tapes where the teacher blasts off into the upper realms of yoga Pretzeldom, but Suzan stays with us humble beginners, giving us options, attainable goals, and a work out that even I can do -- and enjoy.

Summary: relaxing
Review: I don't know if this would make you loose a whole lot of weight if only done three or four times a week, maybe if done every day it would be noticable. You definately feel some sore muscles you never knew you had the first couple of times you use these techniques. This is a wonderful way to relieve some of those every day stresses. Burn some incense, stretch and breath. =)

Summary: from a complete beginner.....
Review: I purchased this video last week and have done the work out almost every day. I find it easy to follow and the four levels of instruction helps a lot. I could never touch my toes, even as a child, so I used that as a measuring block. So far I've gone from 9" from the ground to 5" - and thats in 1 week!! so far so good. On the downside, its a little long(45 minutes) and hard to fit into a busy day. It would be nice if it included a 20 minute routine along with it for those days when you don't have an hour to spare! Also, I didn't know I'd need a block or strap until I started the video. Its getting a little old already (ok so thats what i get for doing it everyday!) but I figure if I get a couple more workouts to mix into my routine it will keep me from getting boring. Definately great for beginners!! (and surprisingly enough I did break a sweat!).

Summary: Great Workout for Beginners
Review: I really enjoy coming home after a long day and escaping with this excellent yoga workout. The tape gives you four different levels and moves along at a good pace.

Summary: Perfect if you're new to Yoga!
Review: Of course this moves slowly! This workout is geared for those who are new to Yoga. It is meant to be steady and relaxing. They move fluently from one position to the next and yet allow you time to move into the proper position and steady yourself. Also, the extra time in the poses are meant to help us beginners increase flexibility and learn stability and focus. The workout moves from sitting to standing poses and then down to ground. The music is soothing and she not only explains the postures, but she also notes what some of the postures help with (digestion, releasing toxins, etc.). I am happy to have this in my collection and I use it 2 times every week. I have already moved up a level from my starting. I recommended this to my mother who has had neck surgery and is not very flexible. The fully modified version will be perfect for her since the stretches are so gentle and mild.

Summary: Very disappointed
Review: I have yoga workouts that I really enjoy, but this was definitely not one of them. The workout moved much slower than others I have done; it was so boring, I could barely make it through the session once. I thought it would be more intense, given the weight loss title, but I agree with another reviewer, that must be there as a gimmick. I got rid of this tape ASAP and moved on. The only good thing about this tape was the Arizona atmosphere.

Summary: I love this tape
Review: I bought this tape about 3 weeks ago. I am very tight in the upper body and hips. Having practiced yoga off and on for about 3 years, I still find this tape terrific. Another reviewer said the twisting poses did nothing for them, but I have exactly the opposite opinion. They are my favorite part of the workout. I also have carpal tunnel and the poses in this tape do not aggravate it as some others do. This isn't for people who are looking to break a sweat, but for anyone who has tight muscles or who just wants a somewhat challenging yet relaxing yoga workout I highly recommend this one.
