Summary: Yoga For A Reason
Comment: I like yoga DVDs that are focused on specific things. I have lots of them. This one is specifically for AM and PM yoga. The morning sessions are not more then 35 minutes long and a nice way to start the day. They get your energy flowing and your body moving. The evening sessions are a little longer and are nice for relaxing, getting rid of some tension and just unwinding. There's one for getting back some energy which is great for those days when you get home and need a kick-start to get through a full evening agenda.

Summary: Very good DVD for beginners
Comment: Pro:
- cheap way to try yoga (much cheaper that classes). You just need the DVD, a mat (I bought it at a sport store for 25$), 2-3 pillows or blanckets.
- 10 routines; 15 minutes the shortests, 45 minutes the longest, you don't need to spent 2 hours as you have to when you take a class outside.
- No pre-scheduled classes. You can do it any time of the day. At your own pace (I do it when I wake up in the morning)

- Benefits:
If you do it after you wake up in the morning, you just start the day in a more "positive" state of mind.
You can feel your back posture improves. You will naturally put more attention on your posture day time.
You feel a more flexible body, less sense of "heavy legs" or "thight muscles" or similar.
My lower back pain I had before starting yoga, is gone. (I work in front of a computer 8 hours or more a day...)

Cons:
- yeah, sometimes the "voice" talks too much but... remember, is a beginner DVD: better too many words (explaining what you are doing, how to do it, words of caution...) then too few words
- A real good teacher corrects your mistakes better during the exercises

How I use it:
In the morning I run the "wake up the spine" routine (35 mins) or "get up and go" (15 minutes), depending how much time I have. Almost every day.
In the evening:
Mainly the "Good night sleep", rarely the "unwind muscles tension". (both around 20 mins). Every other evening(more or less).

Yes, it will be the first thing I'll suggest to someone that tells me... "I have some back pain bothering me"

Summary: Excellent yoga routine
Comment: This is an excellent yoga DVD. The teacher demonstrates the poses well and is thorough with her instructions. I like the format of the DVD - it has many different routines with varying lengths and difficulty. This is definitely a great DVD for beginners. Also, each pose has its own track so if there's one you want to skip, it's easy to do so. Overall, I highly recommend this DVD!
