4.0 out of 5 stars yoga for busy people, Feb 4 2004
By A Customer
-Do buy this tape if:
A)You are pressed for time-the workout is 30-35 minutes or so long
B) You are looking for just a hint of a challenge(only really tough part is lunges)
C)You dont mind an instructor who does alot of explaining/talking and such
D)You are a newbie
DONT buy this tape if
A)You are looking for a serious 'isometric" type routine (I.e.Brian Kests Power Yoga from 1995 tapes)
B)You are REALLY looking to sweat hard
C)You are looking for really challenging poses (i.e. crow,one arm balance,dancing shiva,etc..)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Yoga Video, Jan 27 2004
By A Customer
This is an excellent workout for people who don't have 60-90 minutes that many slow-movement exercise programs require. It's 45 minutes of relatively-simple poses. Ivanhoe does a great job of reminding the viewer of the most important aspect of yoga - the breathing. this would be a great program for beginners who are looking to ease into a routine. As an intermediate yoga practioner, I do this tape 4-6 times a week!

4.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, Jan 20 2004
By Michelle Fraley "nickshell" (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Overall this is a quality Yoga video. The instructor is much less annoying and condescending in this video versus Crunch the Joy of Yoga (although I actually like that workout better.) This workout is not particularly difficult, so I am not sure I agree with the "fat-burning" aspect to the title. However, it does provide some good overall flexibility and strength work. She spends a lot of time on lunging poses so if you need flexibility in your harmstrings and quads this workout will feel good. I hike a lot and like doing this workout a day or two after a hike to stretch out my legs a bit.

4.0 out of 5 stars crunch - fat burning yoga
