Summary: Good video, but very slow
Review: I've never done yoga before, but started with this one. It was great to hear the whole thing for about the first two times I watched it. After that, I've found that the only way to really get the benefits from it and not spend an hour listening to Sarah talk about yoga, is to keep the remote with me and try to zip through some of the setup. But it's a real pain, and I wish that there a section that allowed you to run through the entire workout at once, without spending 5 minutes to get into each pose.

Summary: Excellent follow-up to the first
Review: Just when I was getting bored with the routine from "Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies", they decided to come out with a sequel with the same instructor (the always wonderful Sara Ivanhoe) but with a more challenging workout. I had been doing the old routine for about 10 months when I decided to step things up a bit and buy the sequel. This video is a fitting follow-up to the first. While the first routine introduced you to yoga and got you used to practicing it on a regular basis, the second video really gets you into it and presents a good workout for the body. You will be surprised at how fit this yoga workout will make you feel. I've been doing the workout for 6 months now, and I'm more toned and muscular, and I've even lost some weight! (Never meant to, though, it just happened...) When I noticed that my clothes didn't fit as snuggly as they used to, and I had to buy smaller rings, I knew the yoga was working!Like the first video, the instructor goes through each pose step-by-step to make sure you are doing it properly. If you're a veteran of the first video, you'll have no problem learning the new routine. But even if this is your first time, you will have no problem learning and doing the poses since the instructor makes yoga so accessible for everyone. And the good thing about the video is that you can watch it a few times, memorize the routine, and then do it on your own after that. With this video, who needs to spend money on expensive yoga classes at the gym? You'll get a great workout at a great price.

Summary: Like this one a lot...
Review: Sara Ivanhoe presents another good, effective yoga workout. This one is only a slight bit tougher than the first Dummies video but it is worth having. It seems to be assumed that the viewer has been doing the first video faithfully and has developed more flexibility and balance. It uses both quite a bit more than the first video did. It is a good workout and Sara Ivanhoe talks you through it like in the first one. This video is a great addition to any yoga video library!

Summary: Never done yoga before?? Look no further!!!! :-)
Review: This dvd is exceptional for beginners! Before purchasing this, I had never done Yoga before. I really love Sara Ivanhoe, she has a very soothing voice and makes you feel very comfortable. There are a lot of explanations before every pose, so if you have no idea to what you are doing, you will be perfectly fine. However, if you have some basic yoga knowledge already, this won't be the dvd for you. You will then find it very slow and boring due to all the explanations and slower pace. But, I would recommend it 100 percent for someone who has never done yoga before!!! Don't be afraid to give it a try!!

Summary: Good
Review: This is a perfect DVD if you are a beginner, and maybe even intermediate. Sarah explains every thing very well. The thing is, that I found it a little slow. Since the title says "beyond" basic yoga for dummies, I thought it would be an intermediate level, but it's not, I would say it's a little bit more than a beginner level, but less than intermediate; however, the explanations are really good, which is a great plus, since in so many live classes teachers assume that you are an expert, her voice is relaxing, and gives you a decent workout. It's not a DVD that you would play very often, since it takes over 60 minutes, and it's not like other DVD's where you have at least 2 different routines. Here it's all conected, so you can't go from pose #3 to pose #10, or from one routine to another, since you would feel like somehting is missing.
