Summary: An enduring yoga classic with something for everyone
Review: This is a beautifully produced tape and Ali MacGraw is a beautifully inspiring model. The scenery is magnificent.Frankly, some of the poses are a bit difficult at first. However the breathing exercises in the beginning of the tape are just fabulous. This means that even if you can't do all the poses you can use this for relaxation and improved breathing, and that's what I often use this tape for. Once you take a class and get some instruction, the most difficult poses can be done by nearly anyone. These are classic poses and this is a good overall workout on a tape that you won't be shoving in the drawer to gather dust.

Summary: I actually get cravings for this video
Review: This video is full of beautiful music and scenery that it immediately calms me and makes me feel like I'm in another world. The moves are somewhat challenging, but the more I do the video, the more I progress, giving me a great sense of accomplishment. I have given this video as a gift to many of my friends who have fallen in love with it as much as I have. Enjoy!!

Summary: It's ok
Review: I've only used this video once or twice, but I use my Donna Richardson videos to workout daily. The problem with this video is that there is a really really long intro, which you don't want to watch over and over again. Also, the proper technique is not really discussed, so I'm not sure if I'm doing things right. I ended up really sore & dizzy after my first workout, which is not how I usually feel when I do an aerobic workout.

Summary: Perfect Balance
Review: I have been practicing yoga for 15 years and this is still my favorite video. I literally played it until I had to replace it! The instruction is simple, clear and easy to understand, and the asanas are appropriate for any skill level or age group, as evidenced by the range of yogis in the tape; young and old, male and female of several races and body types. The production values are excellent - the video was recorded in the desert and the pristine white sand juxtaposed on the azure sky is wonderful! The music is calming and interesting and varies meaningfully with the different poses. I would caution beginners that there are some tough balancing poses; the flow series for example, so those with knee or ankle problems should be mindful. Enjoy!

I waiting for part 2! What a religion! THE BEST! Don Gerling

Summary: Beautiful video, excellent instruction!!
Review: I just picked this tape up in the beginning of the year and I must say that it has already become one of my favorites!! I love the white sand dunes, the sunrise, and the eagle flying over head. Talk about a mood setting!! The workout itself, is not for a total beginner, but I had no trouble catching on and aspiring to do the poses to the best of my ability. Erich's voice is so calming and Ali and the other students look like they are throughly enjoying themselves!! Of course they are!! I throughly enjoy myself too when I do this tape!! This is another tape that I recommend to people who want to try yoga. In my opinion, this is quite possibly the best intro to yoga there is!

Summary: not only visually beautiful but great yogo
Review: i bought this video when it first came out in 94 and actually sat and watched it for awhile, before i started. it's so beautiful. where they film it, the music etc. I found the yogo positions a higher level, so it's not really suitable for beginners. but with practise you'd eventually get there. But what i did enjoy most is the 'cool' down - meditation section at the end. lovely. I still love this video to this day and thinks it's an amaing yoga purchase

Summary: Great Video ... for the non-beginner!!
Review: I've been practicing yoga for about a year now with various video tapes (I love the Rodney Yee videos) and basic classes at my gym. After mastering the basics of yoga, this video presented a great challenge! I absolutely recommend this, but you should know some basics about yoga before trying this video.

Summary: Beautiful, not Pedestrian
Review: Ally McGraw's video does what precious few videos out there are doing. It gives a complete atmosphere, a beautiful look and great music while leaving out the pendantic chatter that most exercise videos have (and I must admit usually need) If you are an experienced mover in any way and know about taking care of yourself, only doing what you can, not pushing too far, I would recommend this video. I do admit that an intro with a smidge of safety and beginner info would push it up to 5 stars for me. It is the video I have been seeking since beginning Yogo. It is really a film rather than an exercise series filmed in a curved, bland studio and this I like. After all if you buy it, you will be seeing it EVERY DAY for a long time.

Summary: Eye Appealing, But Don't Be Deceived
Review: I bought this video for my sibling, and it was soon turned over to me. I was very disappointed with the video. It is visually appealing - white sands, nice video effects, etc. However, very little instruction about the poses was given. Watching the tape several times, you can sort of figure out what to do, but unless you know these poses prior to the tape, it could be dangerous for your body. Precautions on the poses weren't given. Unless you are looking for a video simply to walk you through the yoga you already know, save your money and buy a different video.
