3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed..., Jun 13 2004

This review is from: Beyond Basic Yoga for Dummies (Full Screen) (DVD)

I bought the First DVD, Yoga for Dummies. It was great because it had a section where she showed you each pose and then she actually gave you a full routine that you could practice to. This DVD only gives the instructional part but there is no routine to follow. And I agree with the other reviews...the pop-ups are beyond annoying. I do not think these existed on the first DVD and I am not quite sure why they were added. I like Candle Light Yoga and Crunch Fat Burning with Sara but I would not recommend this DVD due to the fact that it is basically instructional with no practice routine to go with the instructional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never done yoga before?? Look no further!!!! :-), Oct 4 2003

This review is from: Beyond Basic Yoga for Dummies (Full Screen) (DVD)

This dvd is exceptional for beginners! Before purchasing this, I had never done Yoga before. I really love Sara Ivanhoe, she has a very soothing voice and makes you feel very comfortable. There are a lot of explanations before every pose, so if you have no idea to what you are doing, you will be perfectly fine. However, if you have some basic yoga knowledge already, this won't be the dvd for you. You will then find it very slow and boring due to all the explanations and slower pace. But, I would recommend it 100 percent for someone who has never done yoga before!!! Don't be afraid to give it a try!!

This review is from: Beyond Basic Yoga for Dummies (VHS Tape)

Just when I was getting bored with the routine from "Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies", they decided to come out with a sequel with the same instructor (the always wonderful Sara Ivanhoe) but with a more challenging workout. I had been doing the old routine for about 10 months when I decided to step things up a bit and buy the sequel. This video is a fitting follow-up to the first. While the first routine introduced you to yoga and got you used to practicing it on a regular basis, the second video really gets you into it and presents a good workout for the body. You will be surprised at how fit this yoga workout will make you feel. I've been doing the workout for 6 months now, and I'm more toned and muscular, and I've even lost some weight! (Never meant to, though, it just happened...) When I noticed that my clothes didn't fit as snuggly as they used to, and I had to buy smaller rings, I knew the yoga was working!

Like the first video, the instructor goes through each pose step-by-step to make sure you are doing it properly. If you're a veteran of the first video, you'll have no problem learning the new routine. But even if this is your first time, you will have no problem learning and doing the poses since the instructor makes yoga so accessible for everyone. And the good thing about the video is that you can watch it a few times, memorize the routine, and then do it on your own after that.

With this video, who needs to spend money on expensive yoga classes at the gym? You'll get a great workout at a great price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good if you're a Dummy! Otherwise, average.
I received this as a gift from someone that chose it for the familiarity of the brand, against the myriad of other yoga videos available. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, but chatty
For those new to yoga, this video provides non-threatening, carefully explained instruction. If you are beyond the beginner level, however, the pace soon becomes too slow. Read more
