Molly Fox's Yoga: Yoga Sculpts utilizes the ancient practice of yoga to strengthen and elongate major muscles. This 45-minute program offers an alternative to traditional weightlifting with postures that require a full range of motion and deep breathing. Instructor Molly Fox kicks off this sculpting regimen with sun salutations and continues the session with warrior and triangle formations. Poses are held isometrically and the abdominal muscles become key in stabilizing the body. The midsection gets a killer workout while holding the body in alignment throughout movements that encourage spinal flexibility and hamstring pliability. Beginners and participants with injuries or weak joints will find an accommodating format that moves slow enough for mastery of exact form. This program would be a terrific addition to any exercise fanatic's fitness library (especially for strength trainers who are burned out on mainstream resistance exercise). The music and scenery are nondescript but the content makes up for any lack of inspiring imagery. With repeated use, Yoga Sculpts has the real potential to increase flexibility, definition, and lean muscle. --Olivia Voigts

Summary: Short 35 min yoga session from 1994 not too challenging for beginners but not for newbies
Comment: Since this came out in the 1990s, expect the sparse set w/a couple of lit triangle props & the instructor in a dark green leotard that goes to the ankles like you see in the photo. Molly's alone & she talks w/wireless mic strapped to her leotard as she goes. There seems to be no breaks as she perspires as time wears on. She tells you the English name of the pose as you go into usually. She gives the usual basic cues, move the quads off the knees, send energy to the feet, ground your feet, etc. Not enough for a total beginner. She holds all poses besides the sun salutations for 5-6 ful breaths & always tells you when to breath in/out when going in/out of each pose & reminders during which is relaxing. The music is played really low, it's not great, it's not bad, it's ok. I think it's Molly's good intention & good presence that keeps me going.
Sun Salutations: 8 min
done 7x, only mountain, back bend, standing fwd bend, lunge, plank, up dog, down dog, mountain basic ones. She moves in a clipped pace, 1 breath for each pose. On the 6th & 7th time, she adds bending the elbows a few times & longer up dog to work the upper body.
Standing Poses: 17 min
No more sun salutations, each pose held for 5-6 breaths & each on done on one side, then the other, then repeated on each side again. Triangle, standing fwd bend, side angle, wide angle fwd bend, warrior series (warrior 1 & 2, child's (2 breaths), down dog, chair (2 breaths) in between.
Balancing Poses: 4 min
These are only done 1x each side: Frog, warrior 3, squatting down & balancing on toes, crow & as you ease to sitting staff pose, try to hold body up with hands for a second.
Sitting Poses: 4 min
modified boat, boat, sitting fwd bend, bridge
Savasana/Relaxation: 2 min
Molly verbally guides throughout & is mostly sitting up herself.
Overall I like she holds the poses a while, she seems to know what she's doing & has good presence overall to keep you from getting bored. If you have trouble finding yoga dvd like this is described & like the style, get it, otherwise you're not missing that much.

Summary: Great basic yoga DVD
Comment: I've had this video for a few years now. It's a great DVD with the basic yoga postures. Good for beginners who need to learn proper form, but challenging enough for the more experienced, because it's real yoga not fluffy "yoga-inspired aerobics." The cueing is great and you don't have to get a sore neck looking at the screen, because the instructor cues all the movements. Really great overall!

Summary: Molly Fox's Yoga Sculpts
Comment: I have been using this DVD for a few years now, and I'm continually surprised at what a great work out it provides. I have been practicing yoga for several years and I found her instruction to be clear and her tips for the poses helpful in intensifying the workout. While this may not be the best for beginners, this DVD is a good one for intermediate level yoga.

Summary: No Star Review
Comment: If you would like a recycled aerobics, sports trainer person teaching yoga, then this is the DVD for you. I wasn't looking for a spiritual journey, but I object to the repackaging and marketing approach. I know this will sound disrespectful, take this as one person's opinion, I found the entire format a farce.

Summary: Beginners Beware.....
Comment: After reading all the reviews, I decided to branch out and try this....I was extremely disappointed. Molly doesn't use the names of the poses very often and will move without sharing what she is doing in detail. Therefore, you will be left in a pose waiting to move. She also does a lot of "jumping" - I found this obnoxious. Not at all the flowing Yoga I enjoy - beginners - this isn't for you. Try "Crunch - The perfect Yoga Workout." It's worth your money.
