GOOD YOGA STRESS RELIEVER WORKOUT
This workout is a great stress reliever for those times we feel anxiety, restlessness and stressed out. The format is yoga stretching style. The first section is done standing and is more active yoga stretching. The second segment is restorative meditative floor stretching. I loved the music and the instructors voice was very calming throughout the workout. The scenery is a very relaxing beautiful outdoor setting. I did the whole workout and felt very relaxed and gently thorougly stretched out at the end. I bought this workout so that I would have two 20 minute yoga stretching workouts to add-on to other high intensity workouts. But I found out that this is a great workout for just before bedtime also. This workout is a keeper with many uses. I would highly recommend this workout to all those that love good music, beautiful outdoor relaxing scenery and an instructor with a soothing voice and demeanor. Worth having in everyones workout collection
Great DVD for Beginners
Having done a Yoga class at my local YMCA and enjoying it, I decided to pick up a yoga video for home. I grabbed this one and am so glad that I did. As the other reviewers have stated this DVD is made up of 2 routines that both last 20 minutes. The DVD allows you to select either one or the other. If you choose to do the first routine (standing yoga) it will flow into the second routine (floor yoga).
The video was well done with enough repetition so that even the most green beginner would be able to pick up the poses. The instructor was very clear and offered several different variations as to levels of poses.
The day after doing this yoga dvd (even though I typically do at least 45 minutes cardio and weight training at my gym several times a week) I had some muscle soreness.
This is a great workout for those who are looking for a low impact workout. I would highly recommend it.
Easy workout for beginners who know poses, good breath connection
This is set outside with a wonderful view that have been on other Self dvds & 2 women backup, one showing modifications, all in good shape. The production values are professional. The music starts with a good beat, though a little too like other fitness music, but it changes with the workout & gets lighter with more Asian & then meditative music which was wonderful.
Stephanie Culen does well telling you when to breath almost at all times when she's not giving pointers on how to do the poses right. She doesn't have time to give full explanations, only the usual reminders. Her voice was not soothing to me, not irritating, but it sounded a little stressed/stiff possibly from nervousness.
