Summary: lost weight, gained a new lifestyle...
Comment: i actually love, love this dvd! i'm actually buying another one for a friend who has been asking me to get her a copy for months now. okay, i am not a healthy person... that's for sure. i don't like working out, i don't eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, i don't make an effort to eat less... i am not just that person. until i started gaining weight... i became desperate! i didn't know what to do. i tried all the different kinds of diets, tried tae bo and enrolling to a gym... but it just didn't work out for me. i am not very good at following routines... i often just break them and never look back. so i browsed around amazon and typed 'weight loss' and found this dvd. all i can say is that dvd inspired me to have a healthy lifestyle. i actually eat less now, and eat healthy because i want to maintain the body i gained from doing yoga. i actually lost about 5 lbs in just two months i really, really love it. and it really got me into yoga. i am actually going to try and explore other yoga dvds all because of this one. i highly recommend it to beginners.

Summary: Very Good For Learning and Toning
Comment: I really enjoyed this DVD, Maggie is a great instructor with a pleasing demeanor. She leads you through the poses with good detail and reminders of various things to keep in mind while practicing, such as "Inhale as you extend your arms up, exhale as you bring your arms down."
There is a nice selection of various poses to practice and I found the resting poses/childs poses relaxing. Follow along with the basics and you will find yourself getting to the more challenging routines. And you will find yourself losing some weight and toning up as you go along. Nice DVD.

Summary: Very technical, no relaxation or "zen" quality whatsoever
Comment: I guess I'm in the minority but I do not like this DVD at all. I've done several of the workouts and viewed all of them. All of the workouts are basically just Sun Salutations and standing poses rearranged to fit different time frames. Some workouts have weights and bands added to them.
The main thing that bugs me about this DVD is the sterile technicality of it. It was very, "Do this, then do that, now do this..." etc. There was no emphasis on breath, no time for centering yourself for a minute or so before your workout. The instructor's voice was not very relaxing to listen to either. There was very faint hint of music in the background. I like music during my yoga workouts so it was almost a tease to me.
I've done quite a few Yoga DVD's where I sweat buckets but they still have the relaxing meditative quality, the focus on breath, and they can still be a very demanding workout without being so sterile and technical. I prefer a more meditative Vinyasa Flow style workout, I guess. While this DVD definitely has some very challenging workouts, it lacks the mind-body emphasis that makes Yoga unique. Otherwise why not just do Pilate's or aerobics?
It just wasn't for me but if you prefer a "no nonsense" purely physical approach to Yoga you might like it. I'd still suggest you do some stretching though before you start this DVD as you will be going right into demanding poses like Chaturanga (the yoga push-up) within a minute or so of starting. Also you should be familiar with Yoga's ujaii (sp?) breathing first as this DVD does not give any information on the very essence of what makes a workout "Yoga". Otherwise you might as well just be doing any random body postures, twists, or stretches.
I can't personally recommend this DVD because of my issues with it but if the above gripes are not important to you you may like this DVD.

Summary: Yes, beginners can do this DVD
Comment: I am truly a beginner to Yoga. I did this DVD for the first time today and it was my first time doing Yoga at all. I don't work out on a regular basis, but I had no problem following along. All you have to so it start in the main menu at the sections for Beginners. It goes through all the basics that will be helpful as you advance with the video.
It also really helps to listen. The narrator says what is the next step well before the person in the video actually does it so it kind of prepares you. I thought this was a great video so far and I am really looking forward to getting to the advanced levels. This DVD really made me work up a sweat and it kicked my butt!
