5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Buy!, Mar 18 2004

"mrskoller" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 3pk: Best of Yoga Zone - DVD (DVD)

I bought this DVD set several years ago on a whim. Before buying it I had enjoyed Ali McGraw's Yoga Mind and Body VHS, but I found it very difficult to carve out an hour for the full (and very challenging) workout. One of my favorite things about these DVDs is the 20-minute time frame for each session, which is much more do-able with my busy schedule.

When I started to do these workouts regularly several times each week, I noticed some subtle changes in my body. My arms, abs, and legs gained definition and I felt longer and leaner and more energized. Even better, I started to look forward to these workouts for their calming effects. They help me to release tension and regain focus, so I'm no longer burdened by the stresses of the day and I can even sleep better. This is the first workout that I've ever truly craved at the end of a long day!

I have purchased many other DVDs - many of them Yoga Zone - since I bought this original set. These workouts are straightforward, positive, and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this set for anyone seeking a good introduction to yoga or a stress-reducing workout that will fit into any time frame.

Also recommended: The All-Day Yoga Workout: A.M., Stress Relief, and P.M. Yoga for Beginners (Living Yoga). I wouldn't call it beginner, but the 20-minute P.M. yoga session with Patricia Walden is the one I gravitate towards at the end of my most stressful days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Breathe!, Sep 30 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: 3pk: Best of Yoga Zone - DVD (DVD)

I have just begun studying yoga in recent months at a local fitness center. With classes filling up almost as soon as they're being posted, it's harder to get into more than one class per week. While DVDs or videos never comes close to being a clear trade-off from the traditional class setting, this boxed set has helped me to study yoga on days when I can not join a class.

The instructors in each segment truly emphasize the importance of breathing. The breathing in these segments are slightly different that the method that I have learned in the classroom, but the general principles remain the same: inhilation and exhilation are essential in energizing the body's cells, so properly performing breathing exercises are not just important to yoga study, but to all daily activities.

The boxed set is a good value and allows the individual to pick and choose which workouts to perform. My only disappointment with the DVDs is that there are not a lot of different camera angles, and some poses require better visual aids to be performed properly by the individual.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, April 1 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: 3pk: Best of Yoga Zone - DVD (DVD)

I am completely new to yoga and thought this would be a good set to try based on the other reviews. I've been doing it about three days and plan on moving on to other yoga dvd's once I feel I have more strength and flexibility. Overall these dvd's are okay although I have nothing to compare them to. The one thing I can't stand is Lisa Bennett's voice, one of the instructors. I would rather listen to someone who sounds more real and genuine, and not like they've spent hours with a tape recorder trying to get their voice just right. Doesn't seem like she's being herself. I don't know why it bothers me but it does. I'm hoping to get to the point that I don't have to have the sound on while doing the sessions.
I think beginner yoga instruction should have a segment where they demonstrate all the postures and explain the breathing technique before you go into the actual sessions. It's too hard to keep looking at the screen when your head is supposed to be down, sometimes they don't tell you they're coming out of a pose and you have to look up to see what they're doing. Even though I'm sure I will use these again I will definitely be getting other dvd's to alternate with.
