3.0 out of 5 stars With beginners like these......., Dec 18 2005
By Bianca - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Belldance Fitness Fusion:Yoga (DVD)
.....who needs professionals???? Seriously, this is NOT for beginners to yoga or bellydancing. You MUST have some experience (especially with undulations) or you'll be a little confused or completely lost and discouraged. I can get through the yoga well enough, in fact, I LOVE the yoga section....but when she starts using undulations there is little explanation. She incorporates them interestingly with cat & cow, but I wound up just pushing my stomach in and out. It is tough to isolate your upper and lower abs from one another and if you can't do that already to some degree, you may find this DVD frustrating. Though I can see that it's wonderful exercise and practice!! Suhaila doesn't only expect you to undulate, but she also expects you to switch the direction of the undulation at the drop of a dime while layering it on top of figure 8s and later on top of some crazy gluteal squeezes. I know things like this improve over time and with practice, but to call this a beginner video when it lacks detailed instruction on how to do ADVANCED moves is just wrong. It is a great video, though, and if I were an intermediate or advanced bellydance student who could undulate even only a little I would have given this more stars. A little side note: Suhaila is beautiful and inspiring and I watch her bonus performances while I sweat it out on my elliptical machine!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Workout, Jun 13 2005
By Kimberly K. Marchese "Kimberly" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Belldance Fitness Fusion:Yoga (DVD)
I was surprised how sore I was the next day. The workout seemed kind of tame. It was very slow and I didn't feel any burn. I was wondering if I was doing anything. I did feel very relaxed and refreshed after the workout. Then, the next morning, my triceps, upper back, obliques and buns were really sore. I have to say, at first I was a bit intimidated by all the belly rolls and butt crunching. I'm getting better over time. This isn't a complete body workout, it seems to target those above mentioned areas. I imagine, in combination with the other 3 workouts in the series, you'll get a full body workout. I'll be trying the Pilates and Jazz soon and I'll keep you posted!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great rear & oblique, ab lower back workout, Jun 28 2005
By Touch Remedy "TouchRemedy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Belldance Fitness Fusion:Yoga (DVD)
I agree with all the other reviewers.
It starts out with good deep breathing using your hands under your chin to guide your head for deeper breathing. There there are some yoga poses like forward bends, side angle, wide legged forward bends.
She then uses basic on hands & knees "cat/cow" poses on hands & knees to start to teach you how to camels & undulations. Then after touching your toes, you are then sitting up & repeat the same posture as if you were still on hands & knees to slowly make the movements more subtle to turn into undulations both down to up & up to down. That idea is great for someone like me who can't quite get them & shows just how aware she is of the body & unique ways to teach. You do all these undulations many times until looked even the background dancers (about 7) looked tired themselves but Suhaila wasn't missing a beat.
Sitting wide-legged, you do glut isolations, then add on top of that.... the undulations again. I couldn't do all 3, but hope to one day.
Then she teaches in to out & out to in vertical figure 8s & outward twisting 8s & inward ones. She is a great teacher, she really knows to remind you to use your hips only, keep feet totally on the ground, etc.
The bonus workout is more undulations with figure 8s by one of her students with her doing a voice over.
She teaches better then all the other bellydance DVDs I have in my humble opinion. Throughout the 40 min, your arms are constantly in the air, so you get an arm workout as well. My arms felt slightly sore & my rear & obliques were stinging immediately.
