You don't have to be thin to do yoga!,
By Frejya Evenstar (Calgary, Alberta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss (DVD)
This is by far the smoothest yoga routine I've ever seen, and the desert scenery is breathtaking!Yoga in it's pure form is about breath, focus and meditation, as well as the poses, and Susanne Deason does an excellent job integrating all these aspects. In the west, all the focus is on exercise and doing the poses, but breathing and focusing is an essential part of yoga that makes it much more effective! And much to my surprise - there are very overweight women doing yoga and doing it well! I weigh 180 lbs and exercise regularly and do a lot of yoga and it's great to see other women the same size who do it too. You don't have to be a skinny toothpick to do yoga! I've known that for 10 years, but you wouldn't know if you look at any other yoga DVD or video. I love the way the instructor uses voiceover to talk you through the routine while the 4 people do the poses at various levels. She explains so much more than someone who's talking and doing the routine at the same time, and explains it beautifully. Beats me why they call it weight loss yoga. The routine is slow and soothing, and I haven't lost a pound since I started doing it - but I enjoy it anyways as a great form of relaxation, toning and meditation. I did not give it 5 stars because of the misleading title only. Otherwise, it's a great workout and would be awesome for anyone who is overweight and intimidated by the super thin, athletic and flexible bodies in all the other yoga DVD's and videos out there. In fact, the second thinnest woman does the most modified & easiest version and two heavier women do the more challenging levels. Overall - great for overweight yoga enthusiasts and beginners and even someone like me, who likes to do moderate yoga, but is not a beginner.

Ordered this to replace my VHS copy of it. She's awesome ... I love this DVD. It's perfect for someone who needs a gentle easy to follow yoga routine. It's certainly helped me tremendously. Lots of options for modifications and if you have health issues; that's what you need some days. However it can also be very challenging the higher your fitness level. It's a bit different than the old VHS of the same name but it's so far so good! My only complaint is I wish they'd hold the poses for a little longer for some of us oldies.

Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss,
By Lynn Fortune (Cardale, Manitoba Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss (DVD)
Ilove this Program! I began doing yoga in late 2003, with the AM/PM Yoga, and started this program in December 2004. With the 4 levels of experience, it is easy to follow and allows you to progress at your own speed. The ladies in the program are more like the average person and are not stick figures. I have recommended this DVD to everyone who asks how I have lost my weight!
