Summary: Great for a harried life!
Review: As a fairly regular yoga practitioner for a number of years, I swear by this DVD when I'm whooped. I work full time and am a full time doctoral student so life can get a little out of control sometimes, and when it does, I turn to this DVD. When I'm done with these poses, I sleep like a baby. It is especially helpful if you sit at a desk all day because of its upper body and back stretches.

Summary: It Really Works!
Review: I usually do not have the attention span for or any interest in yoga, but this DVD really does work. I recently went through a very stressful period, and doing this DVD really helped calm my nerves. I feel totally relaxed after doing it. I recommend it to anyone who needs help relaxing. It's easy, it's quick, and it works!!!

Summary: Good content but packaging was a bit misleading
Review: The actual yoga practice on this DVD is beneficial but entirely too brief, in my opinion. the actual practice is only 20 minutes. The cover notes say there is a total of 1 hour and 5 minutes of content. The rest is an interview with Susan Deason and a "how to" section for using yoga props. This is a very mild practice and using the props is very easy and really doesn't require any extra help. I couldn't care less about an interview with Susan Deason. The "special edition" DVD I bought was also supposed to include a 60 minute pilates workout with three 45 minute variations. If those on on this DVD, they didn't include a selection button on the DVD menu. A bit disappointing.

Summary: stress relief?
Review: This tape does not relieve stress in my opinion. The practice is fast paced and people with previous injuries may re-injure themselves as I did. I was interested in a tape for stress relief, relaxation,and strength to recover from many injuries. I did not find it in this video. I did not feel relaxed or destressed. In fact, I was anxious because the flow was too fast for me and I could not keep up with the instructor. I was pausing the tape frequently to go into poses correctly,and no modifications were instructed. I used the props and did the exercises incorrectly.Definately not a beginners tape. I actually found more instruction and modification in a yoga book. I have developed my own practice with fantastic results.

Summary: Wonderful Stress Relief Practice
Review: This yoga practice is perfect to do after you wind down for the day or before heading off to work (I would suggest maybe starting with a few sun salutations to warm up the body before beginning in order to get a good stretch). The cueing is great and even though the practice is only 20 minutes you go through a lot of different poses: Triangle, forward bend, warrior I, downward dog, side stretch. I would reccomend this video to anyone who wants to unwind and relax.
