This DVD is a great tool for those looking to learn relaxation techniques and improve their flexibility. The instructor is very likable- I did not find her annoying at all, and she moved at a pace that is perfect for beginners. Her instructions were clear and insightful. The DVD is set in a calming garden, and the background music is very pleasant.

Keep in mind that this is not a "workout" DVD per se. If you are looking for a DVD that will provide challenging poses for strength and toning, I suggest you look elsewhere. I use this DVD as a complement to my regular workout schedule, and as a cool down after a work out. Overall, I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking to reduce stress in their life (who isn't?!).
