This workout uses yoga vocabulary, but it's really just gymnastics. That said, it's not really interesting gymnastics. The instructors talk too much, by the fourth time you're bored as anything and want to just get on with the workout instead of listening to them. For people interested in more serious yoga AND a really good workout, check out the Flow Series.

I'm pretty active. I run and lift weights. But my flexibility is very poor and I carry a lot of tension these days, as most people do. I used to do yoga years ago. I'm now 35 years old and starting over. This DVD is excellent for someone trying to get their groove back. The stretches are great and there's a lot of focus on the back, breathing and abs. I just started using this workout. I love the first workout (The Joy of Yoga), which is a great ease into it workout. Great for the mornings. After doing the second workout (Fat Burning Yoga), I actually broke a sweat and found some of the poses a little difficult. But I know in time as my flexibility improves, I will be able to follow it better. The instructor, Sara Ivanhoe, has a great soothing voice and explains the poses in a clear way so you don't have to continually watch the TV monitor. Easy to follow and very rewarding. It's something I can routinely do, which is key to any exercise workout. Definitely a recommend for beginners or people revisiting yoga after a long hiatus.

I have only tried one of the two videos contained in this set so far. It was a very good workout however I found the instructor a bit difficult to follow. Perhaps after a few times I will become more proficient at it.

i picked this DVD up back in February and think it offers 2 good yoga routines....the fat burning session definitley worked alot of key areas, and felt it the next day - in a good way. the joy of yoga was a nice overall yoga session, but not as hard as the other....I actually enjoyed her instructions and thought that it was a great dvd that had 2 yoga classes...i liked it

This is good for stretching, balancing, and gaining a little strength. The Joy of Yoga is relaxing, and the Fat Burning Yoga is more for stability and flexibility. Pretty easy, but ok once a week.

Since I got this DVD I've been alternating the workouts just about every day in addition to my usual video cardio and strength training and and after just more than week, I've already noticed myself getting stronger. Best of all, the stress is draining out of my body- my shoulders are finally moving away from my ears, I'm walking taller and feel great! Sara's a great instructor and these are fun and challenging. I was already used to yoga, so I have no trouble doing the workouts- but they are still challenging enough to make them worthwhile.

I came back to yoga after a long time away, and I use this DVD in between classes. I love Sara Ivanhoe, she has the most calming voice and she gives clear instructions. The choice between the two workouts is great as well, I use the Joy of Yoga when I just want to calm down after a long day and the Fat Burning Yoga when I want to work on my strength and flexibility. This is an excellent experience (at a good price too!!)

This is my First yoga DVD I have been doing Yoga Since Jan 2004. This is great. I had a lot of Knee troubles. I could barely walk across the room. Since I started yoga with this DVD. I am able to walk anywhere and go very far. I do this yoga everyday.I also do Crunch Candle light yoga it also has Sara Ivanhoe. Sara Is amazing.

This video really got me moving. I wanted the benefits of the workout as well as the relaxation and "centering" benefits of yoga. I got both - not in a weird way but I am totally relaxed (and energized)after I do my workout. And my body has definitely changed. My backside is firmer and higher, my arms are strong for the first time in my life, and I am much more flexible than I was a month ago. I can only imagine what I will be able to do another month or two down the road. Great DVD. Pick it up!

I was new to yoga when I got this tape, and although I am pretty flexible, I found this DVD to be great for beginners like myself! It comes with two differnet workouts that are both excellent... fat burning and the joy of yoga. The fat burning workout will definetly leave your heart pumping! The instructor is great at relaying the poses, and then puts them into challening series. The first time I used this video, I couldn't finish it. Maybe not the best workout for someone who isn't very flexible or out of shape, though.
