Product Description
From Amazon.com
Yoga Sculpting for Beginners introduces newcomers to the benefits of isometric postures and lengthening poses. Everything from breathing to body alignment is taught in this 40-minute session with special attention on contracting major muscles while holding stretches and poses. This program is divided into two 20-minute sets that focus distinctly on the upper and lower body separately. While one segment centers on poses that engage the pectorals, arms, and abs, another concentrates solely on the lower body by working the gluteus, hamstring, and low back muscles. This video accommodates a range of fitness levels and gives excellent instruction on the form and function of each movement. Both workouts can be done in sequence for a complete body challenge, or separately if you are short on time. Although the cues come slowly and clearly, beginners may have difficulty with the terminology and general familiarity of poses. To alleviate any confusion, first timers should watch the video through before attempting the poses. Don't let the serenity of the gorgeous beaches in the background fool you (the entire workout is filmed in Jamaica)--this is a tough workout that will make any yoga guru break a sweat. --Olivia Voigts

20 minutes a day WILL make a difference!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yoga Zone: Yoga Sculpting (VHS Tape)
I've been doing yoga off and on for the past 5 years or so, but had never been able to fully commit to a daily practice - lack of motivation and time were the culprits. But when my stress level reached new heights last summer I decided that I needed to find a way to make yoga part of my daily life and I ordered this video. It consists of two 20-minute workouts - one for the upper body and the other for the lower body - so I alternated everyday. Not only did the 20 minutes a day help me to keep my sanity, but after a couple of months I noticed a SIGNIFICANT improvement in my muscle tone. A nice surprise indeed! So, if you're busy or unmotivated - or both - give this a try. The moves are challenging not the most complex and some modifications are shown so you can adapt your workout as you become stronger. I'm a big fan of the Yoga Zone videos - they're great workouts with clear instructions on how to do the poses properly. My only complaint about the YZ videos is that they almost always use the English translation for the poses instead of the Sanskrit names. But they're still No. 1 in my book!

My first yoga DVD,
By Katalia F. (Dacula, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga Sculpting - Yoga Zone - D (DVD)
I am a beginner to yoga. I've never taken classes and this was my first DVD, so basically my first time EVER doing yoga and I loved it! I did not think the poses were too hard, especially since they give you options in most of them to keep it simple or show you how to make it a little more challenging. I feel sore and well worked out after doing this one (which I'm sure might change when I become a little more advanced)! But as a beginner I think this is a excellend DVD to start with! I will definately be doing more yoga and getting more DVDs!!! =)

You Get Out What You Put In,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yoga Sculpting - Yoga Zone - D (DVD)
I have been doing yoga on and off for over five years, both with videos and personal instructors. The poses in this video were not particularly challenging to me, but if you really hold the poses and focus on contracting the muscles you're working, you will feel it in the end. I especially liked the arm workout. In the past, I've never felt that much in my arms from yoga, but the day after this workout I did. I think seeing the results from this video depends on how focused you are during the workout. If you're new to yoga, I would give yourself a few times through to just get comfortable with the poses.
