Summary: great yoga teacher, nice video
Comment: I have many of Barbara's videos, and this is up there with them. This features at least five moves not on the '7 secrets', 'the power of yoga' and 'the total body plan', so is worth adding to the collection for a variety in sequence and a general change in words and settings etc... i need change in my pratice and Barbara is a fine teacher, so its good to get as many as you can to vary the practice. This i think is slower than the aformentioned titles, and there are less repeats, however there are a lot of moves on this video and the sequences are nicely laid out. One word of caution i would add to anyone collecting Barbs vids is that this is the 'Fabulous Shape forever' video from 1997 repacked, just so that you dont get both. This is still a great workout but for a first timer i would suggest the 7 secrets video by Barbara instead.

Summary: Great - even if you are a complete novice like me!
Comment: I had never done yoga, just heard about it, and I chose this video based on other people's reviews. Even though I could not do a couple of the more advanced bendy-balancing movements to begin with, I have found that with each session I can do a little more - it keeps you motivated and is part of what makes the video so rewarding. I like the three different sections, and other reviewers have already talked about that in detail, so I'll just say that even if you've only got 10 mins (the first section)you still feel the benefits. It feels like warm sunshine is flowing through your veins, and that life is just great! The focus on yoga as a fitness and body-shaping programme is fine, because that's mostly what I was after, but I expected some mention of the philosophy-mind aspect... and was slightly disappointed that there was none. Overall, though, I think its great, and I'll probably buy other Barbara Currie videos once I have mastered all the moves in this one!

Summary: Very Good for Beginners and the more advanced alike!
Comment: This video is an absolute essential for anyone wanting to begin Yoga! In my opinion, this tape should be up in the top 5 matches for Yoga as it really is quite a gem. Barbara Currie is an excellent yoga teacher, and while her 'school nurse' approach may not suit everyone, I don't think you will get many yoga videos that offer better value for money than this!
Like her other videos, this tape is split into sections- so it offers something for everyone no matter how much time you have, or what your yoga goals are!
The 10 Minute Miracle is good for beginners - it offers 6 key postures and is great to do every morning as a yoga 'top up' if you haven't got much time.The second section- Reshape and Energise is longer, and takes you through a great selection of toning and uplifting poses.The third section helps you to unwind, stretch out and relax your body, which is a great routine to practice in the evening.
Barbara Currie is as encouraging as ever, while giving sensible and easy to follow instructions.Flanked by her 2 companions, she offers moves for all levels of ability, - there is always someone practising an easier version, which is really encouraging when you are working through the tape thinking "my leg won't bend that far yet!"
I found Barbara to have a lovely teaching style, motivating yet soothing. This tape is fun to do, and not at all boring or monotonous like some Yoga videos.
The setting for the video is a simple room, which is clutter free so there is nothing to distract you from the yoga. The colours of the lights and flowers change for each section to reflect the aims of the routine- i.e bright orange/yellow for the energising moves, and soothing blue and pink for the relaxation sequence, which I found made it very pleasing to watch.
I would highly recommend this tape, along with Barbara Curries Power of Yoga video also- because between the two, these videos really do cover a lot of exercises! I have found that with so many other yoga videos, you only get a few measly poses, poorly illustrated, with the rest of the tape padded out with talking and/or annoying images and music. Barbara's videos are not like this, they are excellent value for money as they are clear, precise and easy to follow. And you certainly get plenty of exercises to bend your body into! This tape should keep you going for quite a while as there is always another move to progress on to.
Another good buy I found is Barbara Curries book- Fabulous Shape Forever, which acts as an excellent accompaniment to her tapes and is one of my favourite books on yoga. It shows many of the moves shown on the video, and therefore makes a great reference book.
Overall, this tape is great, and one which I look forward to playing over and over again for a long time to come.

Summary: makes me feel goooooood!
Comment: i was really impressed with this video. it's split into three easy to follow segments entitled 'ten minute miracle', 'reshape and energise' and 'rest and relaxation' the last two lasting about 30 minutes.
Barbara is really sweet and encouraging and the moves are easy to follow and really do make you feel like you've done something good for your body.
the stretches are nothing too challenging ie: you don't get taught how to wind your leg round your neck or anything like that but beginners are able to increase their flexibility by working up and Barbara emphasises that you should work to your own pace.
Overall great stuff for beginners

Summary: Easy to follow
Comment: I have never practised Yoga properly before and had heard rave reviews from a colleague at work who had been practising for 3 years and said it had transformed her body. So I bought this video and have worked out to the whole video about 5 times so far. It is amazing how hot you get even though the movements are very slow and precise. I think Barbara Currie guides you through each movement well, there are 3 sections to the video and the first one is a ten minute stretch section which is perfect to do in the morning before work. The video is not so fast that by the time you have mastered one movement they are on to the next. This video will suit all first timers it's wonderful for giving the body a total stretch - go buy it!
