1.0 out of 5 stars
Very poorly done!, Sep 26 2006
This review is from: Better Sex Through Yoga: 3 Disc Set (DVD)
It is the worst workout or yoga video I have ever seen, and I have at least 50 tapes. I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years and I am also a Yoga instructor at the Y. I really wanted to get something out of this video, but it is unbelievable. It is unprofessional, and I feel because she is such a poor instructor and it was so cheaply done, they used the sex angle to sell a video that would not otherwise make it.
I was just shocked. Everything about the cheezy production described above is true, in addition the instructor seems untrained, superficial, insincere and very unprofessional (unless it was a porn video). The music is loud disco/porn track and everything is done very fast, and often with poor alignment. She actually has towels hanging around, and had to move one out of the way as she was working out, and her movements are unaligned and jerky, she looked like she was going to twist her ankle or knee sometimes. They show bloopers and outtakes at the end, but the whole thing looks like outtakes. No care at all was taken in the production, it looks like a home video.
The yoga done is nothing special or especially good for your sex life. It is simply poorly done power/aerobic yoga. She doesn't cue at all well, but she does talk constantly, but doesn't make much sense, doesn't even name most of the poses. It is useless for a beginner like my husband, and also useless for an experienced practitioner like myself. I can follow other yoga tapes and classes without even looking at the instructor. This one I can't even follow while looking at her! It actually put me off sex (made me jittery and hyped up, rather than energized) instead of increasing my libido, as regular yoga does.
The only thing I could get out of it was "what not to do" as an instructor myself.

Good choreography, cheezy production, Jun 25 2004

This is one of the better yoga workouts, but the production is so bad that I couldn't give it 5 stars. The voice overs are cheezy. ("Feel your sexual core.") The music sounds like a porn soundtrack. The setting seems to be in someone's apartment. The street traffic can be heard. Also, I could barely hear the instructor. I had to watch it a few times and take notes just to follow the routine.
I really like the workout, once I got over the crappy production.
