Summary: An okay workout
Review: I thought this was an okay yoga workout. I found the Brian Kest Power Yoga tapes to be a more complete satisfying workout. Not much pose variety in this one.

Summary: An excellent, challenging workout
Review: I was feeling rather bored with my other yoga videos, and this one was great. The yoga is exhilirating, her cuing is superb, and the ending matwork, if a little short in length, was sufficiently challenging. Some of the postures will intimidate beginners, but intermediates will enjoy it - particularly if you feel as I do that many video instructors don't pay as much attention to the breath as they should.

Summary: Entry Level Power Yoga
Review: Karen Voight has provided us with a great intermediate yoga workout. As usual, Karen finds a way to make you stronger and more flexible, doing so in a safe and careful way. She explains how to do the poses in a way that allow you to follow along with ease. This workout is not for a beginning yoga student but rather for the person who is seeking to advance past the beginning level. For those of you who want to be able to do power yoga or ashtanga style yoga but are a little afraid to try it, this is your entry-level video. All the poses you need to learn in order to be strong enough to do power yoga are in this workout. After doing this class for awhile, I was able to move into an ashtanga style yoga workout without much difficulty.

Summary: If You Have Bad Wrists...
Review: Karen Voight's YogaSculpt combines classic yoga poses with innovative twists to turn up the intensity and focus on sculpting. Karen begins the workout with a relaxing breathing exercise but then quickly steps up the pace with a challenging sequence which combines down dog with high push up pose. The standing series includes traditional yoga poses such as Warrior 1, Warrior 2, and Triangle pose, but Karen combines each pose with extra lengthening and stretching moves. The first half of workout last approximately 25 minutes, and then it's on to the floor for approximately 16 minutes of mat work focused on the abdominals and back. In this section, Karen combines yoga poses such as Boat and Bridge with Pilates-type movements. Both the abs and the back receive thorough attention, and then the practice ends with a brief stretch.Karen is an excellent instructor who performs the workout fluidly and with flawless form. Her voice is gentle and encouraging, and she provides detailed instruction on how to perform each movement, including attention to breathing. There were a few times when I felt that she failed to adequately cue a change in movement, but once you've done the workout a few times, Karen is easy to follow. She instructs alone with soft piano music in the background. Overall, this is a challenging yet relaxing workout which will add some nice variety to your yoga practice for those beyond a beginner's level.

Summary: The Nordstrom of Yoga Videos
Review: Karen's new videos will leave you refreshed and invigorated. Once I have completed this challenging video, I feel stretched, strengthened, toned and very peaceful. If you are just starting out, be patient with yourself. Yoga will develop patience, character and strength. Think of each posture as a goal; by the third or fourth time, you may achieve what you see. This video is a combination of Pilates and Yoga. Ordering a sticky mat is essential (information is included in video pamphlets) so you don't injure your muscles by slipping on a carpeted surface. There are no spiritual references and Karen's calming voice leads you through the poses in her organized way. The music is very relaxing and almost makes this the Nordstrom of Yoga videos. I recommend walking for at least one half hour before attempting the stretching exercises. This helps to warm the muscles and allow for a deeper stretch.

Summary: boring & hard on my wrists
Review: on the positive side, Karen Voight's instructions are clear
her form is impeccable. the music is quiet. my problem is there're not enough different poses. there seems only few poses repeatd again & again. downward dogs or other all-four positions are done too many times. as I have bad wrists, i find it very taxing. Why can't she use other yoga poses that are that works on hamstrings & lower back than downward dogs? Surely there're others. i guess i'm just not the right exerciser the video is made for. i gave mine away after trying it once.

Summary: Save your money and buy the combo
Review: Save yourself some money and buy "Yoga & Sculpting DVD" instead. It includes all the material from this DVD plus all the material from the "Core Essentials" DVD for only $4 more.
The "YogaSculpt" DVD has a moderately challenging yoga rountine, but will KILL your abs. I have yet to be able to complete all of the reps.

Summary: If You Have Bad Wrists...
Review: This is a wonderful workout with easy to follow directions. Might I remind those who rated this low that it is Yoga "Sculpt?" If you have bad wrists, get a different kind of Yoga dvd. Would you buy a how to run book and then complain because it doesn't cater to those with bad ankles???
