Ali MacGraw - Yoga Mind & Body

Rating:
Summary: Way too advanced for beginners
Review: I admire Ms. McGraw & was excited to study yoga, but found myself in no kind of shape to do the excercises on the video. I'm a regular excerciser, so it's not like I'm in no shape at all.

Summary: Somewhat aggressive - visually stunning
Review: The pace is faster than what I am used to in yoga. The sound mix made the background music are distracting and I need to strain to hear the instructor's voice. The camera angles though off my balance. The people and the scenery are gorgeous. Overhyped.

Summary: First Yoga Tape! EXCELLENT!!
Review: I just ordered this tape the other day, and immediately used it the second I received it! WOW - is all I can say! I am a 3d-designer so I work with computers ALL DAY LONG, and get very ancy and anxious while working on projects. On top of that, I wanted to tone my body. Brisk walks and exercising relieves some stress...BUT YOGA WAS MY ANSWER!! The people on the video are so graceful, and the videotography was absolutely breathtaking! I felt like I had better posture and my muscles felt great the first time after doing it! Did I mention this was my first Yoga tape? If you do decide to try it - don't give up! I felt like I was playing TWISTER and was walking on a slippery floor the first time I used it..couldn't help but laugh at myself for being so "unbalanced." But slowly, I'm hoping to be as graceful and spiritual as the people on the video. If anyone has found a better tape than this, please let me know, because I think I've found it already!

Summary: Great video!
Review: this is a great video for someone who wants to try yoga. I have other yoga videos & this is the best. The instruction, music and scenery are all great. I wish they'd do another yoga tape!

Summary: focuses on mental aspects
Review: I am in Tae Kwon Do, so I bought this video to help with my flexibility, as yoga is the stretching exercise we do in class. My main goal was flexibility, but this video was too slowly paced, and very boring. Even the instructor sounded like he was bored. This video was not challenging enough physically, and mainly concentrated on breathing. In the future, I will rent a video before I buy it.

Summary: Flexibility for the mind and body
Review: I am a 30 year old woman who has never liked to exercise, but has always been naturally thin (yet flabby). I started yoga not to lose weight or tone up, but rather to reduce stress, and was fortunate enough to pick Yoga Zone's beginner series as my first attempt. After 6 months, I had a calmer mind, and, to my great surprise, a new and improved body. Looking for more challenging videos, I found Ali McGraw's tape two months ago. It's perfect for this stage in my yoga practice. My main goal has shifted to flexibility ---- in both my mind and my body. Daily practice with this video is the best thing I have ever done for myself. If you give it a chance, yoga can "significantly change your life".

Summary: best yoga video available
Review: This video is VERY good. It is not made for people who are totally out of shape and want to try yoga to "relax." Stay on the couch if you want to relax. Yoga is for increasing physical, spriritual, and mental strength, and can sometimes be vigerous or even difficult (like everything that can bring about improvement in ones life). This tape keeps an excellent pace and combines easy and difficult poses, making ample room for beginners to improve. I have enjoyed it over and over again, and have found that each time I do it the difficult poses become more rewarding to my body. .

Summary: Great stretches for the back and other parts.
Review: I rented this video before buyting it. What I like the most is that unlike some other yoga videos, this one is not a bit boring. Erich, the instructor, is excellent. My back feels great after this and I feel very relaxed. The music and scenery are absolutely wonderful.
