Summary: Good DVD, but not really for beginners
Comment: The teacher is great, the dvd is good, however, the transitions might be a little too fast and not enough modifications for beginners. I highly recommend Tamara's Yoga Fusion... TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION

Summary: my favorite by far
Comment: I had taken some yoga classes at the gym before but sometimes it was too challenging. Barbara takes you through a good pace with room for progression, so this DVD can last you a long time before moving on to something more advanced. The poses are challenging but not impossible, making me feel motivated to keep using this DVD. I like how you can choose the workouts to last from 20-70 minutes, so I can choose which one to do depending on how much time I have. You can target your exercises for specific parts of your body, like hamstrings, or choose a type of workout like the energizing one or quiet evening one. This was a well designed beginners program. No excessive distracting comments, no embarassing looking poses that you wouldn't want to do in front of other people, tips on checking your posture, etc. I would highly recommend this -- no wonder it's the best selling yoga DVD on Amazon.

Summary: Starting the day with Barbara Benagh
Comment: I rotate among several beginning yoga classes and several DVDs/tapes, and I like Benagh's Yoga for Beginners best. I especially recommend this DVD if you intend to exercise before work. She has a soothing voice, the ocean views are lovely, and the degree of difficulty is appropriate. She also is the most articulate of the instructors I've experienced--she explains details of body position that others overlook, yet she seems to speak relatively little -- you really can get absorbed in the practice.

LONGER ROUTINES

Barbara's voice and instruction, coupled with the beautiful beach setting, makes this a wonderful DVD to learn with.

Summary: Good Way To Start Yoga
Comment: Good selection of routines with focus on basic poses that then become more challening. Watch the basics and work with the moves and you will get the hang of them.

There are routines that focus on relaxing and others are on strength, enough here to cover anything I wanted and the instruction is clear.

I like this alot.
