Grating voice, racing pace,
This review is from: Yoga Complete for Weight Loss (DVD)
Oh my goodness, this woman has the most unsettling voice, ever! Her sing-songy tone reeks of nervousness and over the top niceness. I wanted to turn her off after only a few minutes but didn't.
Also, she RACES through the poses. I understand that this may have been intended to be part of the "weight loss" side of the dvd, but it gives you no time, even in the beginning workouts to compare your form to hers. There is nothing calming or quieting about this Yoga DVD. Avoid it.

Useful for informative purposes.,
By Alicia C. Feazell (Newark, DE USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga Complete for Weight Loss (DVD)
I will definintely continue working through this DVD. The instructor is indeed extremely knowledgeable with incredible form. On the other hand, each routine is not a flowing practice. Each asana is filmed seperately, and then they're stuck together to form the different routines. It's a bit more reliant on props (blankets, blocks) than I prefer. It also really seemed too fast paced for beginners, and there seems to be almost no emphasis on when and how to breathe. What bothered me the most perhaps was I felt like I was listening to an over-syrupy, stereotypical kindergarten teacher. (Nothing against kindergarten teachers - they have a hard job and I admire them.) Still, by the end of the routines, I want to reach through the set and throttle the woman for being so saccharine. Still, I think that warmth and soft, high-pitched voice is soothing for some people. I will keep watching to learn new postures, but I think I'm going to stick with just doing what I've learned to music and not the DVD.

Feeling Better About Myself,
By Ellen Sanders (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga Complete for Weight Loss (DVD)
I found myself out of shape after some time of not exercising and eating too much I guess.When I tried to get back into shape I was discouraged because it was hard for me to do some more strenuous exercises after not doing anything. A friend recommended yoga to me as part of a plan to get back into shape, and I found this DVD a few months ago, and it has started to work. I am careful with what I eat, and use this DVD often. My flexibility is starting to return and so is my energy. I like the intructors encouragement, and her interview is great. Sometimes when I feel discouraged or think I can never get back into shape, I watch that part again. The various routines and times are a big plus for me, and her instruction is very good. If you are looking for something to help you I would suggest this title as part of whatever you are doing to get back in shape. The one thing that I should also mention is that it is not an aerobic exercise, though you will feel it and sweat at points. If you are looking for something that is more "power", then this may not be the DVD for you and you should probably not get it. If you are looking for something to help you get back on track, then this is perfect.
